Delfina Closes For the Night Due to Mission Protest

Delfina restaurant in the Mission District of San Francisco closed its doors for the night due to a planned protest against ICE activities in the neighborhood. Owner Craig Stoll expressed concern for the safety of his staff amid potential unrest. This protest is part of a broader response to increased ICE operations, with Mission Local reporting approximately 20 known arrests in the city, including 16 at the ICE field office in the Financial District. In parallel, the VTA is pursuing a new contractor for the construction of two underground BART stations, although the project's funding hinges on approval from the Trump administration. The community's reaction to ICE's enforcement actions highlights ongoing tensions regarding immigration policies.

Video footage from the anti-ICE rally shows significant turnout, indicating strong local sentiment on the issue. As the situation develops, local organizations and residents are mobilizing to advocate for changes in immigration enforcement practices. These protests underscore the importance of community voices in shaping local policy and action.
