SF Immigration Protest Ends in Mass Arrests, Violence | JQJO

A 2,000-person immigration protest in San Francisco's Mission District ended with 60 arrests and violence. Police used less-lethal force after a smaller group of protesters refused to disperse following a declaration of unlawful assembly. Two officers were injured. The arrests followed several days of protests against recent ICE actions, resulting in over 200 arrests in total. The mayor defended the police response, citing vandalism and injuries to officers, while a city supervisor criticized the heavy-handed tactics.
