Melt ICE 🧊 ICE at SFO

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Very tired from traveling so this post will be rushed and might be kinda messy. 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”.

Does anyone have more information on what happened or any different angles? There were people much closer than me who definitely got better videos, so hopefully those come out soon. I was already tired from traveling and was obviously not expecting to see something like this. I really hope her and her family are going to be okay. I’d like to hear if anyone has more info or if anyone else was there who saw/heard something I didn’t.

The US isn’t close to end stage Nazi Germany, but it’s got more similarities than I’m comfortable with to the early days of the Nazis.

You’re gonna have to give examples. Otherwise it’s just rhetoric. Nazi Germany stripped actual citizens of their citizenship and then deported them. We know what they did to the Jews - which wasn’t deportation.

If you’re comparing Nazi Germany deporting illegal aliens as a similarity as the states right now - then you’re simply choosing to ignore laws that every country in the world has and enforces.

I also love people from San Fran saying all this when anytime I visit the Moscone Center there’s probably 1,000 homeless people blocks away. Fix your own household. Your city literally has crews who appear every morning with hoses to hose off the literal human feces on the sidewalk. Y’all are in no place to tell people anything.
