"We know they said they said they won't be going into San Francisco right away, but Trump has also said he plans to put boots on the ground in Oakland. We know that when the people have shown up in other cities to confront agents, they get scared. If we can slow down the attacks on our valuable community members, that's a win."
"No ICE! No KKK! No racist USA!"
""Feds Out! Stop the deportations," "Full citizenship rights for all immigrants," and "Crowns for no one. Legalization for everyone.""
More than 100 people gathered outside Fruitvale BART Station within 24 hours to protest the planned deployment of federal agents to the Bay Area. Participants chanted, marched down 35th Avenue and International Boulevard, and proceeded toward the entrance to Coast Guard Island where Customs and Border Protection agents began arriving. Organizers and groups including Oakland Alliance Against Racism and Political Repression, East Bay Democratic Socialists of America, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Indivisible East Bay, and Oakland Community Service Organization led the action. Demonstrators carried handmade signs calling to stop deportations and to grant full citizenship rights, and compared the turnout to past grassroots responses in Fruitvale.
