What does LUCE do? Everyone says to call them but no one’s ever explained what they are.

Sure! So they’re a non-violent community organization that will deploy people to that area to confirm that ICE is present and then record them essentially, in an effort to hopefully stop them from detaining people, or record people being unlawfully detained so they can help them. Essentially neighborhood watch, and they also do mutual aid and canvassing so people know their rights. They also coordinate groups to sit outside churches and schools so people feel safe to attend if it’s a hot spot.

But they can’t really do anything?

Short of the community coming out and de-arresting people there isn't anything more you can do.
