In San Jose, approximately 50 individuals protested against heightened Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities, criticizing the agency's practices of making arrests near immigration offices. Protesters expressed their concerns, chanting slogans such as "Shut down ICE!" and displaying signs opposing deportations and border militarization. The protest was organized in response to a recent surge in ICE activity, notably a record number of arrests nationwide by the Trump administration. The demonstrators called for public officials to take a stand against these enforcement actions, reflecting widespread community discontent with federal immigration policies.
"Shut down ICE! Shut down ICE!" the protesters chanted as they walked from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Application Support Center to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office in South San Jose.
The protest followed an uptick in ICE activity in San Jose over the past week, where agents made several arrests just outside immigration appointments.
