Tracking every ICE arrest in San Francisco so far
U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained at least 20 immigrants in San Francisco over the past two weeks, primarily during voluntary check-ins and court appearances. The most significant arrests occurred last Wednesday, when more than 15 individuals were taken into custody at the ICE office, including children as young as three. A 39-year-old mother was separated from her family and flown to a detention center in Arizona within a day and a half of her arrest.
In response to these actions, protesters gathered in downtown San Francisco, leading to a confrontation with police that resulted in over 150 arrests. Mission Local is actively tracking these arrests and encourages community members to report any unrecorded incidents. This situation highlights the contentious nature of immigration enforcement and its impact on families in the region. The outcry reflects broader concerns about the treatment of immigrants and the policies of ICE. Many advocates continue to call for reforms in immigration practices to protect vulnerable populations.
