Immigrant-rights activists plan to descend on San Francisco City Hall and a highly trafficked BART station Monday afternoon to protest a spate of recent federal immigration arrests and the Trump administration’s most recent travel ban.
The protests Monday would come on the heels of a chaotic altercation in San Francisco Sunday that resulted in the arrest of 148 adults and six juveniles.

Protests on Monday were scheduled for 4 p.m. outside of San Francisco City Hall and at 6 p.m. at the 24th and Mission BART plaza, according to organizers of the respective demonstrations. They were organized in response to the immigration arrests in Los Angeles over the weekend and in the Bay Area in the last two weeks. Several supervisors were scheduled to attend the protest outside of City Hall on Monday, the event’s organizers said.
The arrests and the travel ban “are connected by a shared goal: to criminalize, isolate, and silence our communities,” organizers of the City Hall news conference said Sunday in a social media post.
Demonstrations over immigration raids erupted over the weekend in Los Angeles, with some protesters clashing with local law enforcement. Buildings were vandalized and vehicles set on fire, and local law enforcement deployed tear gas and flash-bang grenades on protesters. The Trump administration deployed National Guard troops, without the request of the governor, in an effort to quell the protests, but Gov. Gavin Newsom said local law enforcement did not need the help and sent them to escalate tensions.
