## Caption

Jeffrey Siegel scanned the Port Washington parking lot from behind the wheel of his car and a camera resting on his lap. A dashcam recording his drive was affixed to the windshield, and a red whistle rested above the car’s air vents.

Siegel’s adrenaline spiked at the sight of three black SUVs parked next to each other.

“If there were three or four men standing around,” Siegel said, he “would stop.”

He would’ve pulled over, grabbed his camera and started blowing the whistle, he said. And he would’ve sent out an alert: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were in town.

But on this day, he kept driving. False alarm.

Siegel, 67, is part of Port Washington’s Rapid Response Network, a collection of dozens of residents who came together following the sightings of ICE agents on Long Island.

The members function as their immigrant neighbors’ eyes and ears.
