Orcas Alerts mission is to receive and share public information about potential immigration-related federal activity on Orcas Island.

We depend on the community to alert us to observed activity so we will verify and share timely information while also cutting down on baseless rumors that can increase fear and panic.

Reporting via Signal is the most safe and secure. The Orcas Info hotline dispatcher speaks Spanish and English, and can best be contacted by calling or messaging on the Signal Application.

Alternatively, you may call or text 360-298-8500

Please Note:

The hotline dispatcher is trained to ask for additional information, this may include contact information for additional witnesses. Any personally identifiable information will be kept confidential and deleted as soon as practical.

For safety reasons the hotline dispatcher will never answer any personally identifiable questions about themselves.
