ICE Protest Blocks San Francisco Intersections
Business As Usual Disrupted in SF's Financial District
Chanting "no business as usual" and "ICE out of SF", activists in San Francisco's financial district demonstrated against the treatment of immigrants on January 26. Protesters chained themselves together and blocked two intersections downtown for several hours. At least 15 people were arrested.
The demonstrators demanded that newly elected Sheriff Vicki Hennessy comply with San Francisco's sanctuary city policy and end the systemic abuse that people experience in San Francisco due to an outdated immigration system. The San Francisco Sheriff's Department recently called the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Department (ICE) as part of their process after detaining a man from El Salvador who had reported his car stolen.
