California Democrats condemn immigration arrest at San Francisco airport

ICE arrested two women with a 2019 removal order at San Francisco International Airport; the incident sparked political criticism but is seen as isolated by local officials.

  • On Sunday, DHS said officers arrested Angelina Lopez-Jimenez and Wendy Godinez-Jimenez at SFO over a 2019 final removal order, with Lopez-Jimenez resisting during escort.
  • The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said officers were spotted Monday at airports after President Donald Trump announced deployment amid a partial government shutdown, with Democrats demanding reforms before funding agreement.
  • A social media video showed a woman crying and yelling as officers held her down, ignored requests to display identification, and a sizable crowd filmed the scene.
  • State Sen. Scott Wiener held a news conference Monday outside SFO to denounce U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying 'We don't want ICE here', while several Democratic candidates for California governor criticized ICE and San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie called the incident upsetting.
  • The arrest occurred before ICE deployments to bolster TSA, and San Francisco International Airport uses private contractors, so officials called this an isolated incident amid social media concerns.
