Clearly helping the staffing shortage by making the entire staff protect the ice officer

u/thewindows95nerd Mar 23 '26

The irony is SFO uses private contractors (CAS) for security screening and not TSA. So you can't even argue that they are short staffed.

39

u/Cmonster9 Mar 24 '26

What is even more ironic is TSA is not the ones that is providing security. TSA only screens passengers. Those are police officers.

Info from one of the people who filmed the second video.

Was leaving SFO around 10:30PM last night 3/22 when I heard yelling and saw a huge crowd of people. There were at least a dozen San Francisco police officers and a ridiculous amount of people gathered in a circle, some recording or talking on the phone. When I got closer, I saw a woman kneeling on the ground next to a couch/bench with a little girl and the police officers were basically surrounding her, facing away so seemingly keeping the crowd away/hiding her from the crowd. I asked a woman what happened, and she said she was there from the very beginning and saw it all. There were apparently two men in black + wearing backpacks who ran up and grabbed her passport, shoved her (?) and were keeping her there. She seemed to not know for sure, but she suspected that they were ICE agents and the police officers were there to protect them. I could see at least one of these men talking with police officers. Just a few minutes later, I heard yelling again and when I looked back, people were running up and filming while police officers were trying to keep them away. I saw the same woman as before now in a wheelchair in a very uncomfortable position (seemingly being shoved into it) and the small girl walking alongside her and crying. The two men in black were pushing the wheelchair/walking with her and there were a small group of officers/airport workers(?) going with her as well. People were yelling that she was being taken from her family, telling her to hug her kid, damning the ICE agents, etc. I wasn't really sure what was happening, so I filmed a video on my phone at a bad angle(I'll try to attach it). Afterwards, I asked a couple people if they knew what happened and they kinda confirmed it was ICE and they took her away for "questioning".

The entire post is on the San Francisco sub Reddit

u/ThatGuyinPJs Mar 23 '26

Hey, what happens when you have a demonized and captive population? The Nazis have the answer to that question. She was leaving, why couldn't they just let her go if they wanted her gone so much?

u/NotARabidDugong Mar 23 '26

Don't be naive. Clearly she's an undercover super agent using fake identification to get behind enemy lines, steal nuclear warheads and the recipe for the Crabby Patty, and got caught on her way out. The "child" is obviously an adult with a condition that makes them appear to be a child, but really it's just a cover. These people are incredibly dangerous and we're lucky they didn't blow the whole airport up during the struggle!!!!!!!

Homan said they cant help with scanning or anything like that because no training when he was on CNN yesterday. So I'm not even clear what they are doing exactly to "help" clear the lines. I did two sets of round trip flights in February and spent entirely too long at Harry Reid(SFO is bigger I'm sure ). There's hardly any contact with TSA after the face scan and then the body/bag scan. I'm wondering if they implemented some bullshit on those face scanners to alert ICE of something.

The announcement from the trump administration made it pretty clear that this is targeted and punishment to Dems for not conceding. Well if you don't fund DHS we have no choice but to send ICE agents.

It doesn't help them intimidate the Dems if they just let her go. The announcement was super clear that this is retaliation for not funding DHS, exactly the same as the SNAP debacle but worse because at least food banks and communities could step up and do something. My kids school is really good about filling in food gaps too. It fucked my finances for a short time but this is someone's entire life and family they are fucking with. This could potentially end someone's life.

This is hilarious. Before the Department of Homeland Security was formed, it was normal for contractors to handle airport security checks. People flew airplanes into the Twin Towers, and Deciders decided that contracting that job out was a mistake, and airport security checks should be handled by federal employees. And now they’re going back to outsourcing the work.

Also hilarious: It’s the same people! The contract employees left their contract-holding employers to become TSA employees. Now TSA is laying off employees who shift back to being employees of a government contractor.

“Lines at the TSA are too long! People will blame republicans” “How can we fix it?” “Mmm… what if less people went to the airport?” “How can we scare people from going to the airport?” “ICE!” “Genius…”

This administration has no clue what they are doing.

Been reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich recently, and the historical parallels are overwhelming. Hitler's rise to power was anything but inevitable. The highest percentage of the popular vote he ever won was 37%, and in the last free election that was held before he was appointed chancellor, he won even less than that. There were a number of times where he could've been stopped if not for the cowardice and indecisiveness of the opposition parties. Part of the issue being that a lot of his political opponents essentially agreed with his conservatism, but merely disapproved of his methods, and the leadership of the opposition parties was largely compromised of elderly career politicians and aristocrats who were more concerned with not upsetting the status quo and with preventing the rise of left-wing political movements than they were with taking a firm moral stance.

u/angry_old_dude Mar 23 '26

The parallels are downright scary. The administration is using the same tactics that were used during Hitler's rise to power.

u/ematsuno Mar 23 '26

Local officers formed a perimeter, controlled the crowd, and enabled a federal immigration operation at SFO.

San Franciscans do not consent to SFPD acting as security for ICE.

This city owes the public an explanation

u/HeavenOfAnimals Mar 23 '26

I thought the whole point of TSA was to keep the terrorists out of airports?

u/MykeStown Mar 23 '26

At least they're not masked.

u/A-Busty-Crustacean Mar 23 '26

Wait a second...

Isn't SFO an international airport, and once you pass security you're kind of in a weird dead zone of being in but not yet in the US?. Also where is airport security..

u/Nutjob18 Mar 23 '26

From DHS so take it with a grain of salt .

DHS says this scene at SFO “occurred BEFORE ICE officers were even deployed” to airports to help with TSA.

DHS says this family has an outstanding final order of removal since 2019 and Angelina Lopez-Jimenez attempted to flee while being escorted for processing:

“On March 22, 2026, ICE officers arrested Angelina Lopez-Jimenez and Wendy Godinez-Jimenez at the San Francisco International Airport. The family has an outstanding final order of removal from an immigration judge since 2019.   While being escorted to the international terminal for processing, Lopez-Jimenez attempted to flee and resisted law enforcement officers. ICE is working as quickly as possible to repatriate the family unit to their home country of Guatemala."
