More than 15 individuals, including children, were arrested by ICE at a field office in San Francisco, leading to widespread fear among the immigrant community. One detained woman was reportedly compliant with ICE's requirements and wore an ankle monitor, raising concerns over the legality of her arrest. Her family expressed distress and confusion, calling for justice. The arrested individuals include members of three different families, with some transferred to a Texas detention center. The situation underscores ongoing challenges and controversies in immigration policy enforcement in the region.
"The fact that they let this happen was wrong," Yaneth said in Spanish, through an interpreter. "I'm asking for justice and for something to be done."
Patel said that Yaneth's sister and nieces were transferred to Dilley Immigration Processing Center, a for-profit detention center in Texas.
As people stay in the United States for longer and demonstrate that they will turn up to check-ins and hearings, they often have the ankle monitors removed—though this happens more slowly during Trump administrations, said an attorney.
