"Federal immigration agents who descended onto the Coast Guard Island in Alameda this week have been called off for the entire Bay Area, and not just San Francisco, officials said Friday. The planned enforcement operations had been canceled, said Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, relaying a message from Alameda County Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez. Representatives for Sanchez confirmed she had received the update from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which along with Customs and Border Protection had been deployed Thursday to the Bay Area on the orders of the Trump administration."
"It was not immediately clear Friday when exactly Sanchez spoke to ICE officials and whether federal agents had already left the region. On Thursday, President Donald Trump had called off a planned surge in San Francisco, hours after CBP agents arrived to Alameda and began clashing with protesters at the Coast Guard Island. But uncertainty remained around whether the president's reneging on plans the apparent product of conversations with his wealthy tech friends and San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie also applied to the East Bay."
