US EditionWhat to Know About Coast Guard Island in California, Where Federal Agents Have Headed
Customs and Border Protection agents will operate from Coast Guard Island as part of a regional immigration enforcement increase following a strategy used in other major cities.
- On Oct. 23, 2025, federal agents began arriving at Coast Guard Base Alameda, which confirmed it would support U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents starting October 22.
- Following similar operations in Los Angeles, Portland, Ore., and Chicago, the deployment aligns with President Donald Trump's push to send federal forces to U.S. cities.
- A federal source said roughly 100 U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are conducting an operation with "pre-identified" targets, staging at Coast Guard Island in the Oakland estuary and possibly visiting Home Depot locations around the Bay Area.
- About 150 protesters gathered shortly after dawn at the base entrance, clashing with CBP vehicles and Border Patrol using flash-bang devices, injuring two and running over a protester, Matthew Leber said.
- Local leaders condemned the operation, Gov. Gavin Newsom said `California has seen enough`, San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu and California Attorney General Rob Bonta threatened lawsuits, and Alameda Unified School District warned families.
