Homeland Security Investigations (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement)

 The People in the City of New York

The constant battle of a police force and the citizens of the state have been ongoing since policing was needed but this new force was founded in 2003. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement started back in 2003 and have now expanded from deporting federal offenders to just taking in all immigration violators since the Trump Administration signed an Executive Order specifying it. The battle is the moral ground of ICE terrorizing the citizens to execute an order of citizens. This leads to question that if the ICE workers are their job. Ice Officers are told that they are only here to take family members away but the officers state that it is not their position to want to separate families but they have a job to complete.

For this instance we can use the Blame/Criticism Transformation method on the criticism that the ICE officers are receiving by the people that they are this evil entity. They are seen banging on doors and taking away family members at random times. The pain is seen in the eyes of the family members when someone is taken away and no warrant is being presented as to why they are being removed.

Officers can only request that the members of the household be put into a room and that they try to remain calm. The situation that the officers put the families through is too stressful and the reaction received is only understandable. The approach taken by the officers could be changed. First, to make sure that the members in the situation remain calm you should address the members with the level of

Analyze the dispute resolution approaches applied in the conflict you selected, including whether those efforts succeeded or failed and whether another approach might have been better. Which dispute resolution tools do you think might have been applied instead but were not? Give concrete recommendations for how to apply the concepts learned in class to the conflict you select.

Initial Blame/Criticism:

Observation: When… (remember to capture only what a camera could record here with no judgment)

Feelings: I feel (p.44-46 in your NVC textbook are a good place to find these feelings)

Value: Because I value/need (see p. 54-55, but know that this is not an exhaustive list)

Specific Request: Would you be willing to…?
