In San Francisco's Mission District, thousands protested against recent ICE arrests, chanting slogans and condemning police actions. This marked at least the fourth demonstration within two days, following a significant surge in arrests. Activists, including local Supervisor Jackie Fielder, criticized police responses to peaceful protests, while Mayor Daniel Lurie defended the police's actions, citing violence and vandalism. The protest highlighted community frustration with immigration enforcement and police practices, indicating a growing divide between advocates and law enforcement.
"We do not send riot police on unarmed protesters," Fielder said. "SFPD should not be doing Trump's work for him."
Mayor Daniel Lurie defended the police response, saying the protesters were "violent" and pointing to vandalism or Muni vehicles and downtown storefronts, plus two officers who suffered minor injuries.
