"On Thursday, Sept. 4, federal immigration officers arrested another five people at San Francisco's immigration court, the latest in the routine detentions of asylum seekers here during Trump's second term. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in a bid to fulfill Trump's "mass deportations" pledge, has in San Francisco focused on low-hanging fruit: those who show up to court hearings and ICE check-ins at government buildings downtown."
"Mission Local has reporters at the courthouse documenting the arrests outside court, and we keep track of them all in a map and database. We asked illustrator Neil Ballard to accompany our reporter on Thursday and draw what he saw in the courtroom and courthouse hall."
