This is a great, comprehensive debunking of Erica Chenoweth's popular myths about non-violent protest.
I also recommend @petergelderloos.bsky.social's rebuttal of Chenoweth's work:

They will fund ICE then they will blame you for criticizing them for their electoral defeats. They justify the fascism while fundraising like gangbusters off the angry and the frightened. They are grifters. They are profiting mightily off this situation. They are living WELL right now

Violent interactions with the public aren’t surprising, a former ICE official said of the agency under Trump. “That’s sort of by design.”
Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

Republicans have blocked every proposal to rein in ICE, but they're happy to let Democrats spend your tax money to equip ICE mercenaries with body cameras. Why? Because they know body cams won't restrain ICE any more than they do cops:

Don't try to reform ICE. Abolish them.
