Siembra NC Recruitment Flyers Spotted in Alamance County, Doxxing Allegations Surface

Flyers attributed to immigrant-rights group Siembra NC were reported in Alamance County in a widely shared social-media post that also accused the group of having "doxxed" ICE agents and of causing website disruptions, a claim that prompted sharp local backlash and replies saying similar sightings occurred "since Novemb," the post states. The allegation of doxxing and the website-disruption claim appear in the social post and have not been corroborated in other reporting supplied to this newsroom.

Siembra NC describes itself as a Latino base-building organization that was "born in 2017 in response to Trump’s war on immigrants," and its materials say a Defend and Recruit project turned lessons into "a simple Google Doc playbook" in early 2025. The group runs multiple programs, including the Defend and Recruit project, the Fourth Amendment Workplace initiative, and the We Got Us campaign, and lists organizers such as Reyna Gutiérrez, identified as "Durham, NC Organizer."

The Fourth Amendment Workplace initiative, which IndyWeek reported was "launched in April," aims to create "visible community support as a deterrent to raids on workplaces" and has grown into a statewide effort, IndyWeek reported: "Over 200 businesses statewide have signed on, most publicly," with Orange County listing 43 participating workplaces and Durham and Guilford Counties reporting "dozens more," and even participation in Johnston County. IndyWeek quotes organizer Andrew Willis Garcés describing recruitment tactics and the strategy of canvassing established businesses to create a protective buffer for higher-risk workplaces.

IndyWeek detailed on-site trainings that Siembra conducts when businesses sign on: role-playing encounters where employees practice asking agents to identify themselves while someone films; walking through a space to mark which areas are "private" because ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter them; and examining sample warrants to distinguish administrative from judicial orders. In that story Garcés said of a hypothetical ICE arrival, "At this point I’m literally just going to throw stuff at them and run into the back room and lock it." IndyWeek also described a "quiet list" option explained by a canvasser named Trudeau, allowing businesses to receive training without being publicly identified.

Elon News Network reported that Siembra’s We Got Us campaign organizes ICE verification training, know-your-rights sessions, and direct support to families, and quoted community organizer Maria Peralta saying, "North Carolina is dead last when it comes to workers’ rights." The same report cited American Immigration Council figures that "27% of construction workers and 17% of agriculture workers in North Carolina are immigrants" and that immigrants contributed "$11.4 billion in taxes to the state in 2023." An unnamed Mejia warned, "Even a license checkpoint is something that puts undocumented people in harm’s way."

The social-media post’s accusation that Siembra NC "doxxed ICE agents" and disrupted websites is limited to that post in the materials supplied; neither IndyWeek nor Elon News Network confirm those allegations. Siembra NC’s Defend and Recruit messaging frames the work as defensive and explicitly political, saying, "Trump believes this is the path to maintaining Republican control in 2026. But we know better, and we can fight back," and urging readers to "Download the playbook to learn how we built local defense networks."

Reporters will seek copies or photographs of the Alamance County flyers, evidence behind the doxxing and website-disruption claims, and comment from Siembra NC, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Alamance County officials to clarify who placed the flyers and when. The presence of statewide organizing, the April launch notation for Fourth Amendment Workplace, and the early-2025 playbook claim highlight that local recruitment in Alamance County fits into a broader Siembra NC strategy that organizers say combines legal training and political mobilization.
