"Federal agents are set to arrive in Alameda this week as part of a major immigration enforcement operation in the Bay Area, the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed. Alameda County Supervisor Nikki Fortunato Bas told KQED that Trump is sending 60 to 100 agents, who are expected to begin arriving at the base as soon as Thursday. Elsewhere, expanded immigration enforcement has been followed by Trump sending National Guard troops to cities such as Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; Chicago; and Portland, Oregon."
"Alex Mensing of the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice said the nonprofit would also provide attorney activation for rapid response networks in the region. The San Francisco Chronicle first reported that the Trump administration had dispatched federal agents to Alameda. While the officials arriving Wednesday aren't members of the National Guard, the planned deployment comes after Trump told Fox News on Sunday that he planned to make San Francisco his next target for federal military deployment."
Federal agents are set to arrive in Alameda this week at the Coast Guard base as part of a major immigration enforcement operation in the Bay Area. Alameda County officials say 60 to 100 agents will be sent and could begin arriving as soon as Thursday. The deployments follow expanded immigration enforcement that included National Guard troops sent to Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Portland. Administration officials have cited alleged crime spikes and violent protests as justification despite limited evidence. Local leaders and legal authorities in San Francisco have vowed immediate legal action should troops be sent there.
