Overview
- U.S. Coast Guard officials confirmed their Alameda base is hosting and supporting DHS personnel, with roughly 100 CBP and other agents reported to be arriving.
- Protesters gathered at the base entrance as CBP vehicles entered, and police used at least one flash-bang to clear demonstrators blocking the gate.
- President Trump said he would call off a planned weekend surge into San Francisco after speaking with Mayor Daniel Lurie, and Lurie said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem reaffirmed the pause.
- DHS says the stepped-up enforcement targets the “worst of the worst” criminal noncitizens, while California leaders condemn the deployment and vow to sue if National Guard troops are sent.
- Community and local officials warn operations could still extend beyond San Francisco, and in a separate move, North Chicago’s mayor barred use of city property for federal immigration staging.
