In recent years, discussions around America's security apparatus have intensified, particularly focusing on organizations like ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). However, it's becoming increasingly clear that simply abolishing ICE does not address the broader issue of systemic violence perpetuated by various enforcement agencies collectively referred to as 'America's violence workers.' From my experience participating in community advocacy and grassroots movements, I've seen firsthand that combating this massive security state requires a multifaceted approach. It involves educating ourselves and others about the many layers of enforcement that contribute to systemic oppression and violence—from local policing practices to federal immigration enforcement. It's essential to recognize that these agencies often operate with little transparency and accountability, creating environments where abuses can thrive unchecked. As activists, organizing peaceful protests, engaging with policymakers, and supporting organizations that work toward dismantling these structures have proven vital. Moreover, amplifying voices of those directly affected by these policies creates pressure for meaningful change. Working to reform or abolish one agency without addressing interconnected institutions is insufficient; the entire system needs critical evaluation and overhaul. Personally, I found joining coalitions that focus on comprehensive security state reform empowering. These groups encourage community engagement and foster solidarity among diverse populations experiencing harm. Throughout this journey, I've learned the power of persistent action and the importance of building alternative systems rooted in justice and humanity. Ultimately, this work is demanding but necessary. For anyone feeling overwhelmed, start by educating yourself on these issues, participating in local discussions, and connecting with activists dedicated to ending all forms of institutional violence. Together, we can push beyond dismantling individual agencies and work toward a society free from oppressive security forces.
