We prove an explicit log-free zero density estimate and an explicit version of the zero-repulsion phenomenon of Deuring and Heilbronn for Hecke $L$-functions. In forthcoming work of the second author, these estimates will be used to establish explicit bounds on the least norm of a prime ideal in a congruence class group and improve upon existing explicit bounds for the least norm of a prime ideal in the Chebotarev density theorem.
