History

Historical Context

ICE's recent detention of 15 individuals in San Francisco echoes past aggressive immigration enforcement tactics. The agency, established in 2003, has faced scrutiny since the Trump administration intensified raids, particularly during the family separation crisis in 2018. This sparked widespread protests and the "Abolish ICE" movement, reflecting ongoing tensions between immigration policies and community safety concerns.
