Reported Immigration Arrest of Elderly Nanny in San Francisco Prompts City Response

City officials say police were not involved under sanctuary rules.

Overview

  • The San Francisco Rapid Response Network reported that an elderly nanny was detained in Diamond Heights after being followed by multiple unmarked vehicles.
  • The group said agents blocked a driveway, did not present a warrant or identification, and handcuffed the woman before taking her into custody.
  • Mayor Daniel Lurie said he was aware of an immigration enforcement action and stated there was no San Francisco Police Department involvement in line with city policy.
  • ICE did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and local outlets said they could not independently verify the arrest or identify the agency involved.
  • The network said a rotating pro-bono "attorney of the day" was dispatched to try to locate the woman, noting that a street detention would differ from ICE’s usual courthouse-focused operations in the city.
