ICE Detentions in San Francisco Spark Outrage: Families Separated, Advocates Protest

San Francisco ICE Detentions Spark Outcry from Immigrant Advocates San Francisco, CA – June 6, 2025 – A protest erupted in San Francisco yesterday following the detention of at least 15 individuals by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including four children. Immigrant advocacy groups rallied outside the ICE building, voicing their outrage at the detentions. The event unfolded near the United States Appraisers Building in San Francisco. "We're just shocked by the level of detention and the people that were targeted," stated Milli Atkinson of the San Francisco Bar Association's Legal Defense Program. "We want to make sure that the families have access to resources." The report highlighted the difficulty in providing legal assistance due to the distance involved in transferring detainees to a facility in South Texas. Adding to the controversy, Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the detention of families with children "stupid." The mayor's office is still awaiting details from federal officials. The video shows footage of the protest, detainees in handcuffs, and interviews with concerned parties, providing a comprehensive view of the situation. The lack of immediate response from ICE regarding the exact number of detainees and the reasons behind the detentions further fuels the controversy.
