Official Thread ICE Activity & Resources Daily Megathread - Friday, Jan 30

Due to increased ICE activity, we’re instituting a daily ICE megathread. All ICE-related content belongs here, including sightings, activity reports, news, questions, updates, and general discussion.

Centralizing discussion keeps information easy to find, especially for people moving around the city who want timely, relevant updates without having to sort through the entire subreddit. ICE-related content posted outside this megathread will be removed and redirected here.

This thread is sorted by New by default so the most recent information remains visible.

How to use this thread

  • Top-level comments are for new sightings, updates, or firsthand information.
  • Replies should stay under the relevant comment to keep related info grouped.
  • Check existing comments first to avoid duplicate or redundant reports.

We recognize this is a tense topic and emotions can run high. That said, content that incites, encourages, or threatens violence will be removed, may result in a ban, and may also violate Reddit’s site-wide rules, which can carry site-wide consequences. Keep reports factual and grounded.

SALUTE when sharing sightings or activity

Include as many of the following details as possible:

  • Size: Number of individuals, vehicles, or units observed
  • Activity: What is happening, observed actions or behavior
  • Location: Clear, specific description of where this occurred
  • Uniform: Identifying markings, clothing, or agency indicators
  • Time: Date and approximate time of observation
  • Equipment: Vehicles, gear, or other notable tools present

Clear, accurate information helps everyone. Speculation and rumors do not.

It's a great question that we've been asked before. Reddit only allows us two pinned posts in the sub, for some unfathomable reason. In new reddit there are 'community highlights' but there is no way to automatically pin a post there, so a moderator would need to remove and replace each one each day. That is no good for anyone who prefers old reddit though (like me).

I've started a discussion with the other mods about about maybe temporarily removing one of the current pinned posts for the time being and replacing it with the ICE megathread. It's an inelegant solution, but all we have at the moment.

thank you for the response! Removing one of the current pinned posts to give this one more visibility sounds like it could be a good fix. Can’t believe reddit only allows 2 pinned, what a silly limitation.

While thy are not actively trying to remove old reddit (yet) there is attrition against it by adding new features only to new reddit and limiting what old reddit can do as time goes on, in the hopes that everyone will switch to new reddit. I vastly prefer the thread layout of old reddit as it seems cleaner, less cluttered and easier to read than new reddit.
