Federal Immigration Agents in the Bay: What We Know and Don’t Know
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
The Bay Area started bracing for federal troops Wednesday night after the San Francisco Chronicle first reported that nearly 100 federal agents, including from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, would be coming to the U.S. Coast Guard Island in Alameda for a major immigration enforcement operation in the region.
Then on Thursday morning, Mayor Daniel Lurie announced that President Donald Trump had called off the “surge” in San Francisco. But it’s unclear whether the president’s announcement applies to the rest of the Bay Area.
