February 28,2018: Today ICE carried out raids in the San Francisco Bay Area, seizing 150 immigrants for deportation, and creating a state of panic in immigrant communities. ICE have targetted the Bay Area because of offical sanctuary policies.
ICE, and local media are demonizing those seized, even as ICE admits publicly that half those seized have no criminal records. The ACLU reports: “Contrary to statements provided by ICE, agents are aggressively intimidating families in their homes and using tactics of racial profiling to detain people in public spaces. Reports from rapid response networks suggest that ICE enforcement is terrorizing communities of color. The targeting of cities and states that refuse to use their limited resources to fuel the Trump administration’s deportation machine is cruel and inhumane.”
In response to the raids, hundreds of people blocked the entrace to, and intersections surrounding the ICE building in San Francisco. Their defiant resistance is all over California news, and breaking into national media
