Response to the threats of Northern California ICE Raids
On January 17, 2018 there were reports that U.S. immigration officials are preparing to arrest more than 1,500 undocumented people in Northern California.
NLG-SF strongly condemns any attempts by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to terrorize our undocumented immigrant communities with raids and arrests.
While this is not the first time the Trump Administration has sought to violently rip families apart, it is deeply troubling that they are targeting Sanctuary Cities, along with prominent immigration activists and leaders.
This attempt to undermine the immigrant justice movement and ongoing dissent requires us to stand up for justice in immigrant communities now more than ever.
NLG-SF stands in solidarity with immigrant communities and calls for an end to this wholesale and escalating attack on immigrants. We will direct large-scale energies and efforts in solidarity with our allies to interrupt these violent attacks on our community.

California! ICE is preparing for a major sweep in San Francisco and other Northern California sanctuary cities to arrest more than 1,500 people, the largest action thus far under Trump. ICE will be flying in extra agents from other states.
-----------
U.S. immigration officials have begun preparing for a major sweep in San Francisco and other Northern California cities in which federal officers would look to arrest more than 1,500 undocumented people while sending a message that immigration policy will be enforced in the sanctuary state, according to a source familiar with the operation.
Officials at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, declined to comment Tuesday on plans for the operation.
The campaign, centered in the Bay Area, could happen within weeks, and is expected to become the biggest enforcement action of its kind under President Trump, said the source, who requested anonymity because the plans have not been made public.
Trump has expressed frustration that sanctuary laws — which seek to protect immigrants and persuade them not to live in the shadows by restricting cooperation between local and federal authorities — get in the way of his goal of tightening immigration.
