US EditionICE Arrests 4 At Immigration Court In San Francisco: Reports
- On Tuesday, ICE agents arrested at least eight immigrants at San Francisco and Contra Costa immigration courts while they attended scheduled hearings.
- This enforcement reflects a recent tactic by ICE to target migrants at courthouses, a practice previously rare and meant to pressure immigrant communities.
- Advocates and local officials condemned the arrests as unprecedented and harmful, stating they create fear and discourage immigrants from appearing in court.
- Ali Saidi of Stand Together Contra Costa described the actions as selective detentions that could have taken place elsewhere, seemingly carried out at the courthouse to intimidate individuals from attending their court hearings.
- The arrests could reduce court attendance and affect asylum seekers' chances, while critics argue enforcement should focus on those posing public safety risks.
