Raid ID Help is a platform created by private citizens who are deeply concerned about the impact of immigration raids and roundups across the United States. We believe that no one should be left in the dark about the whereabouts of their loved ones. Our site empowers friends, family members, and neighbors to crowdsource information—sharing and browsing photos and videos of potential arrests—so they can quickly learn if someone they care about has been taken into custody. We know this can be a frightening time, and our goal is to offer a small measure of hope, clarity, and community support amid uncertainty.
We also take privacy and security very seriously. Raid ID Help does not require sign-ups, and we do not collect personal information from posters or visitors. All submissions—anonymous by default—undergo a 24- to 48-hour review by our small moderation team. This process helps filter out spam, harassment, trolling, and disinformation, ensuring the platform remains a trustworthy resource. We are not affiliated with any attorneys, advocacy organizations, law enforcement agencies, or government officials. We’re simply private citizens dedicated to helping families and communities stay connected in times of crisis.
As our user base and content library grow, so will our hosting and storage needs. We gratefully accept donations to support the site’s bandwidth and ongoing development. Contributions can be made at https://ko-fi.com/raididhelp. We’ve also compiled a link to a national registry of immigration attorneys for anyone seeking legal guidance, and we encourage visitors to reach out via our Contact Us page for any questions, concerns, or requests. We’re here to help however we can and remain committed to making sure no one gets lost in the shuffle of arrest and detention.
