MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) - As ICE operations continue across the country, anxiety and fear are continuing to rise in Milwaukee with the possibility of potential operations.

“We can only assume that Milwaukee is next on the list,” Milwaukee District 3 Ald. Alex Brower said. “Whether it happens or not we want everyone to be ready, we want everyone to know their rights.”

On Thursday, Jan. 22, Brower and the rest of the Milwaukee Common Council announced a “Know your Rights and Resources” web page.

The page includes links to organizations helping people prepare for the possibility of ICE operations and fact sheets that go over rights with ICE and common scenarios.

“What we’re encouraging everyone to do is not just know their rights but be active and be engaged and join a community or organization,” Brower said.

De-escalation classes are being taught throughout the city as the uncertainty of possible ICE operations continues.

Stephanie Roades is a community organizer that teaches Bystander Intervention De-Escalation classes, and she says she has been booked up.

“We’re not doing training about how to win an argument or how to fight somebody, it's how to get both people to safety,” Roades said. “We want everyone to walk away from some kind of interaction.”

The classes have four goals, reduce harm in the moment, change the course of the present dynamic, make your presence known to the targeted person, and model an alternative to resolving conflict.

“People always say they watched something happen and they froze and didn’t know what to do so this gives you a whole toolbox of things to choose from,” Roades said.
