South Coast Health Equity Coalition (SCHEC) is sharing an important update regarding confirmed ICE activity in our region.

Over the past 24 hours, two individuals were detained by ICE in southern and southwestern Oregon, outside Jackson and Josephine Counties.

On October 23, one individual was detained near Highway 101 and Hemlock Street, in the vicinity of Front Street in Coos Bay.

This morning, October 24, another individual was detained near Winston in Douglas County.

We are relieved to share that both individuals have been released and are on their way home to their families. Both families received legal assistance, and we are grateful for the quick response of community witnesses, local organizers, attorneys, and rapid response partners.

We also want to recognize the community members and verifiers who responded, shared information responsibly, and helped ensure that impacted families were connected to support.

LOCAL RAPID RESPONSE NETWORK REMAINS ACTIVATED.

While there are concerns that ICE detention vehicles may be traveling through or staying overnight in neighboring counties, this information has not been confirmed. We ask community members not to circulate speculation or unverified sightings. Please call 541-543-2509 if you suspect ICE is in community this will go to the local Rural Action Witness Response Team.

📞 REPORT SUSPECTED ICE ACTIVITY TO PIRC: 888-622-1510

If you witness suspected immigration enforcement activity, please contact the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition (PIRC) so reports can be documented and verified. Please do not publicly share identifying information about individuals or families.

To our immigrant neighbors and mixed-status families, we know these moments can bring fear, uncertainty, and concern for your loved ones. We remain committed to ensuring our communities have access to accurate information, support, and resources.

Community safety is collective. Community care is collective. And no one should have to navigate these moments alone.
