Federal Officers Detain Protester After Clash Outside San Francisco ICE Office | KQED

"After hearing reports around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday that a man had been arrested inside the immigration court building, protesters first gathered outside on Montgomery Street, standing in the way of the building's lower-profile side door in an attempt to block ICE officers' path to a line of waiting vans. One protester who refused to stand back from the door was shoved to the ground while another was pushed away toward the street."

"Masked officers exited the building with the detained man, who was dressed in a suit and had his hands secured behind his back. They escorted him to the vehicle as protesters yelled for them to stop. Protesters popped a front tire of the van before it took off south down Montgomery Street along with two other vehicles. One officer yelled that a protester who ran down the street had a knife, and the officer reached for his gun but did not unholster it."

"At least 20 protesters moved into the streets and crosswalks surrounding the court building, attempting to block the vans' path. Some held bicycles and others stood in front of cars, trying to keep them in place. An ICE officer shot a weapon producing a white powder into the leg of a protester jostling with others over a bike. At the same time, the dozen or so people who migrated to Sansome Street began to head north, some running in the street."

Officers detained multiple protesters in recent weeks, including a Friday incident where two people were pinned, handcuffed and walked into the Financial District ICE office. On Wednesday morning reports of an arrest inside the immigration court prompted protesters to gather outside on Montgomery Street, blocking a side door. Protesters were shoved and pushed as masked officers exited with a detained man in a suit and escorted him to a vehicle. Protesters popped a van's front tire; one officer claimed a protester had a knife and reached for his gun. At least 20 protesters blocked streets and crosswalks and an ICE officer fired a white powder weapon into a protester's leg. Many dispersed after the field office detention while some remained at the courthouse midmorning.
