"For ICE agents to be at SFO, deporting someone with a child and engaging in pretty violent behavior towards that person, it is so disgusting and unacceptable. We want ICE to get the hell out."
"The woman and her daughter were arrested at the airport and were being escorted to the international terminal for processing when the woman tried to flee."
"We have no reason to believe there is broader federal immigration enforcement at SFO."
"The deployment of ICE agents to more than a dozen U.S. airports is meant to supplement security staffing during a partial government shutdown."
ICE agents arrested a woman and her daughter at SFO, leading to a violent incident as the woman attempted to flee. The family had a final removal order from 2019. Local officials, including state Sen. Scott Wiener, expressed outrage over the situation, calling for ICE to leave the airport. Mayor Daniel Lurie described the incident as upsetting but believed it to be isolated. The deployment of ICE agents at airports is part of a broader strategy during a government shutdown affecting TSA staffing.
