Explore A timeline of recent immigration actions in San Francisco

Carolina, a 39-year-old mother, was detained during her mandated check-in at San Francisco's ICE office and sent to a detention center in Texas within 36 hours. Since her arrest, over 20 individuals have been apprehended, with immigration attorneys asserting that many more cases remain undocumented. The Trump administration's heightened focus on deportations has primarily targeted those attending check-ins or court hearings, increasing community anxiety. The crackdown has led to widespread protests, including a significant demonstration in the Mission District where thousands voiced their opposition to federal immigration policies. On June 9, police declared an "unlawful assembly" during a peaceful protest, resulting in at least 92 arrests.

The ongoing tension culminated in the closure of San Francisco's immigration court, highlighting the local impact of these federal actions. Immigration advocates emphasize the need for legal representation and support for affected individuals. The situation continues to evolve, with further protests planned in response to the administration's policies.
