TLDR

In Minneapolis, the community-organized ICE Watch initiative has emerged as a powerful tool to de-escalate violence by ICE agents, based on scientific research and historical de-escalation tactics. The initiative, which involves large crowds surrounding ICE agents and expressing disapproval, has successfully reduced violence and arrests in the area. Nicole Bedera, a sociologist and co-founder of an anti-violence consulting group, explains how ICE Watch works by undermining the conditions that lead to violence, particularly among men who commit violence to seek approval and status.
