Since late May, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have arrested over 100 people in San Francisco.
Most are picked up at ICE’s downtown field office at 630 Sansome St. or the San Francisco immigration court at 100 Montgomery St., and sent to detention facilities as far away as Texas, Arizona and Hawaii. Most are asylum-seekers who go to ICE voluntarily, showing up at check-ins or regular court appearances. They are arrested on the spot.
Below, we’re tracking the documented arrests made by ICE, where reporters or advocates can confirm an arrest. This is not a comprehensive list: ICE is arresting people in San Francisco nearly every day, and the agency does not share its information with us. Attorneys struggle to keep up with the volume of arrests.
While Mission Local has reporters at San Francisco’s immigration courts every week and attorneys share their data with us, there are arrests we have missed.
We also know many more people are being arrested across the Bay Area and Northern California. The Deportation Data Project notes that ICE has arrested some 2,123 people in the “San Francisco area of responsibility” from Jan. 20 to June 26. That area includes not just San Francisco, but all Northern California, Hawaii, Guam, and Saipan.
If you have a verified arrest that we’re missing, please email us at junyao@missionlocal.com.
If you see an ICE officer, you can call the San Francisco Rapid Response Network hotline at 415-200-1548.
Masked like cowards or thugs…little man’s tribe.
Thank you for your hardworking ethics and time.
All California needs to do is have sheriffs cooperate with ICE and allow them to arrest criminals leaving their jails who are here illegally.
We need to spend our resources wisely. Dragging Maria away from her sewing machine is a waste of money. Get the violent criminals and pack THEM off to CECOT.
We need to know where to draw the line.
You ignore the entire issue which is due process of law.
Ignoring due process = lawlessness.
It was so often said “control the borders and we’ll talk about letting people here for years become legal residents”. Border is controlled, but now there are total haphazard arrests, and even the President said some should not be targeted, ICE went back to wholesale arrests. Few think this is smart.
More ICE please.
be careful what you ask for because you just might get it. masked people coming to take you away for being at an address where they thought there were “illegals”. When there are no consequences for mistakes made by individuals since they are not identified, some people can choose to be more reckless or bend the rules if they think they can get away with it.
Ice is going to be better funded than the entire military of Russia. You think they really have that many immigrants to arrest? Use your brain
