SAN FRANCISCO – Last week ICE arrested a San Francisco resident in front of the Hall of Justice. This, as well as similar incidents in other parts of Northern California, led speakers from the FREE SF Coalition and other community organizations to hold a press conference on Monday to condemn the due process violations.
One of the organizers, Abigail Salazer from FREE SF, said, “We’re here to denounce the tactics that ICE is using that violate our community’s due process rights in the ways in which ICE has continued to attempt to separate and terrorize our people.”
She said, “ICE’s actions have only strengthened our determination to stand up for our values and our communities.” She added that these actions are not only happening in San Francisco, but in other parts of Northern California.
