Instead of staying home, they go out into the street to protest, to film ICE agents, to blow whistles, etc. Lowry describes this as "self-radicalization," but it is more accurately described as individual activation against persistent state violence and abuse. They're left with either supporting continued ICE violence and more shootings of citizens like Pretti or accepting that their goal of more deportations isn't worth more bloodshed. ICE protestors likewise have to decide for themselves how much risk they're willing to accept when protesting the efforts of ICE agents. One would hope that largely progressive protestors' exposure to state violence might engender in them a wider appreciation that many laws—not just visa requirements—are enforced at the barrel of a gun.
