Lurie appointee to Airport Commission opposed measure to block ICE in California - 48 hills
"ICE is already stopping people at the airport, including people who have a legal right to live in the United States: Eric Lee wrote in a post on X that his client, 40-year-old Tae Heung "Will" Kim, was taken into custody at the airport last week when he returned from his brother's wedding in South Korea. According to the post, Kim spent more than seven days at an SFO detention center without daylight, sleeping in a chair and having no access to an attorney."
"David Campos, former supervisor, immigrant, and vice chair of the party, put it this way on Facebook: Sad to see Mayor Lurie tap for the SF Airport Commission someone who has pushed for more cooperation with the Trump Administration. The SF airport is the point of entry, the gateway to and from San Francisco and the world. If there is any place where further cooperation with the Trump Administration is dangerous and harmful is at the airport."
Mayor Daniel Lurie appointed Democratic Party Chair Nancy Tung to the Airport Commission. Many outlets framed the action as a routine appointment. Tung has political ambitions, including an unsuccessful 2019 run for district attorney and placement on a shortlist to replace recalled DA Chesa Boudin. ICE is detaining people at SFO; one reported case alleges Tae Heung "Will" Kim spent more than seven days in an SFO detention center without daylight, sleeping in a chair and without access to an attorney. Tung opposed a resolution urging the state not to share license-plate data with ICE, effectively endorsing state cooperation with federal immigration enforcement at the airport.
