Be Prepared, Not Scared
The fear of an ICE encounter is real for millions of families across America. Trust Circle gives you a concrete plan: when an encounter begins, one tap activates live video streaming, GPS location sharing, and instant alerts to your trusted circle — including family members, attorneys, and advocacy organizations. Documentation can make a critical difference in outcomes.
Know Your Rights with Circle Chat
Trust Circle's built-in Circle Chat provides instant access to information about your rights during an ICE encounter. Learn what to say, what not to say, whether you need to open your door, and when you can remain silent. Having this information at your fingertips — before an encounter happens — reduces panic and helps you make informed decisions in the moment.
Alert Your Network Instantly
When you activate Trust Circle during an encounter, your trusted circle receives simultaneous alerts via push notification, SMS, and email. They see your live GPS location and can view your video stream in real time. This means your attorney can be monitoring the situation, your family knows where you are, and there's a documented record of the entire encounter.
Protect Your Family's Plan
Trust Circle helps families create safety plans before an encounter happens. Store important documents in the encrypted Document Vault — IDs, legal documents, emergency contacts for children, attorney information. Set up your trusted circle with the people who need to act immediately. When preparation meets Trust Circle's technology, your family is as protected as possible.
