What to Include in a Federal Tip

A useful report is factual, specific, and based on what you directly observed.

Record the Facts

Note dates, times, locations, business names, vehicle details, and the conduct you personally observed.

Use Official Channels

Submit the information directly through ICE or CBP rather than posting accusations publicly.

Do Not Confront

Do not trespass, threaten, follow, or attempt to detain anyone. Let trained federal officers evaluate the report.

Emergency?

For an immediate threat to life, active crime, or urgent danger, call 911 first.
