"The Trump administration is sending a major federal immigration operation to the Bay Area, with agents, including Customs and Border Protection, beginning to arrive Thursday, the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting. Leer en espanol It's the latest escalation in the administration's deportation agenda, which has already brought a doubling of immigration arrests in ICE's San Francisco Area of Responsibility, which includes Alameda County."
"In the East Bay, six people including a minor were arrested at their home in East Oakland. Federal immigration agents have also visited Berkeley, and the city was among 35 sanctuary jurisdictions called out by the Trump administration for not complying with federal immigration laws. But the most visible arrests in the Bay Area so far have happened at courthouses in San Francisco and Concord."
The Trump administration is deploying a major federal immigration operation to the Bay Area with agents, including Customs and Border Protection, arriving Thursday. The escalation has doubled immigration arrests in ICE's San Francisco Area of Responsibility, which includes Alameda County. Six people, including a minor, were arrested in East Oakland; agents have visited Berkeley, one of 35 sanctuary jurisdictions criticized for noncompliance with federal immigration laws. The most visible arrests occurred at courthouses in San Francisco and Concord. California has nearly 2 million undocumented residents; in Alameda County one in three residents is foreign-born and half of children live in mixed-status households. Local nonprofits urge calm, rights awareness, and avoidance of unverified raid rumors. Berkeley enforces sanctuary policies limiting local cooperation and data collection, and city schools and colleges maintain similar protections.
