San Francisco is bracing for potential chaos as federal agents prepare to descend upon the Bay Area, and local leaders are sounding the alarm.

The Trump administration is reportedly sending at least 100 US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents to Coast Guard Base Alameda, sparking serious concerns about potential immigrant community targeting and civil liberties.

A City United Against Federal Overreach

Mayor Daniel Lurie and other city officials are crystal clear: do NOT take the bait. “Violence and destruction will only open the door to a more aggressive response,” Lurie warned, emphasizing peaceful resistance as the key strategy.

Governor Gavin Newsom didn’t mince words, calling out the “authoritarian playbook” designed to create chaos and justify further militarization. His message? “We cannot play their game”.

What’s Really Going Down?

While the Department of Homeland Security claims they’re targeting “the worst of the worst,” Bay Area leaders see through the thinly veiled attempt to intimidate immigrant communities. Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee reinforced the city’s commitment as a sanctuary, promising to stand with immigrant families.

Community Resistance

Local officials are urging residents to stay calm, document interactions, and resist provocations. The goal is clear: prevent the federal government from using potential unrest as an excuse for further aggressive actions.

Stay vigilant, stay peaceful, and protect each other.
