If convicted, Thompson could face up to 20 years in prison. Thompson — an active member of Oakland's queer art community, as the founder of an art collective that routinely staged open mic nights and other workshops in the East Bay — said little during the hearing.

Multiple security personnel opened fire Thursday night at a U-Haul truck that had been backing up to the entrance to Coast Guard Island, where protesters had spent the day rallying against the planned arrival of federal immigration agents. It was not immediately clear whether anyone was injured in the shooting, which happened at about 10 p.m. and was captured by camera crews for television station KTVU.
