Immigrants fearful as ICE nabs at least 15 in S.F. including toddler

ICE arrested over 15 individuals, including a toddler, at its San Francisco field office, causing significant concern among local immigrants. The arrests involved three families, one of which included a 25-year-old woman who had been complying with ICE requirements while wearing an ankle monitor. Her sister, speaking at a press conference, demanded justice for the detained family members. The individuals were subsequently moved to a detention center in Texas, while the status of the other two families remains uncertain. This incident has heightened fear among the immigrant community, with many expressing anxiety about leaving their homes.

Legal immigrants noted that such actions hinder their ability to engage in daily activities like attending court or medical appointments. These arrests follow a recent wave of similar actions by ICE, raising questions about the agency's approach to immigration enforcement. Community advocates are calling for action to address the fear and uncertainty faced by immigrants.
