Recent actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) resulted in the detention of 15 individuals, including a three-year-old child, outside an immigration court in San Francisco. These detentions are part of a broader strategy targeting immigrants who are complying with the legal immigration process, drawing widespread condemnation. Supporters of detainees emphasize the emotional and logistical toll of such actions, as many are living in the community and raising families. Local officials and advocates criticize this approach for instilling fear in immigrant populations, thereby threatening public safety and due process rights.
"These detentions under the Trump administration are unconscionable, unlawful, and deny people their constitutional right to due process," said SF Supervisor Jackie Fielder, in a statement. "Trump's ICE tactics are a danger to public safety, education, and public health, as they sow panic and fear among San Francisco's vast immigrant communities."
Supporters of Miguel Angel Lopez Luvian rallied Wednesday night in a public park in Livermore calling for his safe return. Lopez Luvian, who came to the US as a teenager, is reportedly being held in a detention center outside Bakersfield, 250 miles from home.
