San Francisco's sanctuary ordinance restricts police involvement in ICE matters, complicating law enforcement's response. Tensions have flared between ICE and protesters, prompting discussions about the role of local law enforcement in these situations. A structured public plan is seen as essential for maintaining community trust and safety.
