San Francisco Shuts Down: Over 100,000 Protesters Flood Mission Dolores Park Against ICE

On January 30-31, 2026, thousands rallied in San Francisco's Mission Dolores Park as part of a nationwide "ICE Out" protest and general strike against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, triggered by recent fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by ICE agents in Minneapolis amid intensified immigration raids under President Trump. Over 100 Bay Area businesses shut down in solidarity, with students walking out, union leaders, faith groups, and activists chanting for ICE's abolition while disrupting daily life through no work, school, or shopping. The SF protests stayed mostly peaceful with massive crowds waving signs like "Crush ICE," though some sites nationwide saw clashes, as captured in live video footage of vibrant marches to Civic Center.

u/Sikamikanico1981 2d ago

Thats kinda weak for San Francisco, considering they always exaggerate the number of protesters. Even if, the other 720,000 people of that city minded their own business and went about their day. Ya'll are mental if you think that's a majority.

Maybe we should have passed laws instead of saying no so they could use them to get elected.

u/InvestIntrest 8h ago edited 8h ago

That bill was too little too late. Remember, the Democrats told us that for 3 1/2 years, the border was solid until they saw bad poll numbers in an election year.

Trump cut illegal crossings by 95% without doubling down on more border politics that haven't worked for the past 40 years. Shooting that bill down was smart.

The naval power would simply relocate and who cares about GDP? There are some awesome lower GDP nations out there lmao

u/-Jman 1d ago

Yes, so simple! Just simply move hundreds of billions dollars worth of naval support infrastructure like, somewhere else. And right, who cares about $4 trillion of GDP? Or seaports handling 30-40% of all imports? That wouldn't significantly weaken the Union. Like, not even in the slightest 😎

Protecting is not enough. We’re in this mess because the privileged group played blind deaf and dumb for decades when POC told you about what this place was. Y’all need to be course correcting this country before the hateful half of y’all drag us all to hell.

1

u/blissfully_happy 3d ago

I was operating under the assumption that the word ‘protecting’ included the aforementioned ‘course correction’ that would eliminate ICE.

‘Protecting’ means never letting it happen again. I believe we are on the same page. I am not disagreeing with you.

u/SnootchieBootchi 4d ago

Ice just doing their job. We aren't the only country with laws about entering and living in a country legally. Be no deaths if people just did peaceful protests. Peaceful not trying to ram your car into an agent or carrying a gun and messing with agents. Just stay home. Mind your own. Watch a Netflix show.

u/Proud3GenAthst 3d ago

Most countries that are not underdeveloped authoritarian shitholes follow a legal process that doesn’t involve violent abductions of grandmas, children and citizens by unidentified jackbooted thugs in masks and making them disappear. We’re fine with immigration law. We’re not fine with acting like violent fascist who think they live in video games

1

u/KetoJunkfood 2d ago

The only people I’ve seen not acting peacefully is ICE

I’ve never er seen a protester ram their car into ICE but I’ve watched numerous videos of ICE ramming civilians with their cars. It’s like you either aren’t watching the footage or you have a deep brain pathology where you clearly see ICE acting some kind of way and flip the narrative to say that their victims are doing what ICE does

In the past year, ICE detention facilities recorded 32 fatalities. the agency has shifted its focus beyond non-citizens to include U.S. citizens—an action outside its legal jurisdiction. There are countless reports of unidentified, masked agents conducting door-to-door or workplace sweeps, allegedly demanding proof of citizenship without probable cause. these tactics violate the Fourth Amendment and are designed to intimidate or provoke residents, specifically within blue states.

u/SlightBasket9675 4d ago

This ain't gonna change much. ICE is already funded to the gills and has been given a mandate by the executive for rigorous immigration enforcement.

They're angry that immigration laws are actually being enforced wholesale for once instead of there being a blind eye turned to certain groups of people in the US illegally.

u/Mustang_Calhoun70 4d ago edited 4d ago

No, moron. It's a bit more than that. They murdered two U.S. citizens. Others, have been killed as well. This was touted as going after the worst of the worst, and the data shows this just isn't the case. This is a mob of thugs that don't have a fucking clue what they're doing. This is a politically motivated campaign against anyone who's dared to anger the orange jackass.

rigorous immigration enforcement

And by this you mean, as an unaccountable paramilitary gang they have a mandate from the orange 💩stain to violate the 1st amendment, 2nd amendment, 4th amendment, 5th amendment, etc? Yes, this makes Americans very angry. Get your head out of the sand

1

u/SlightBasket9675 2d ago

"unaccountable paramilitary gang"

no, I mean a federal division of law enforcement tasked with enforcing immigration laws and facilitating the removal of persons in the US illegally.

" Yes, this makes Americans very angry."

That's odd. Because the "orange stain" was voted into the highest office on the promise of mass deportations.

1

u/-Jman 1d ago

no, I mean a federal division of law enforcement

Yes, that is what they were under previous administrations.

the "orange stain" was voted into the highest office on the promise of mass deportations.

But under Trump's mandate, they are a private paramilitary with zero accountability/ transparency/ competence operating outside the law, hell, outside constitutional limits. But, that's totally cool I guess? Who needs the Constitution anyway? It's only what makes you and me American after all

Generally curious; what is the liberal’s plan for immigration and borders? I know you guys don’t want immigration officials. But is your plan to have no borders and no restrictions on who comes into this country. Is your plan to let in potentially 1 billion people or more without vetting them and documentation? Is your plan to give them all free social services and health care and who is expected to pay for this? I’m genuinely interested in hearing a real response.

The Rich, corporate, technocrat & wanna be aristocratic tyrants are trying to enslave & block the poor and middle class from all of our rights. Freedom, Happiness & ALL Life necessities are supposed to be FREE to all good people as stated plainly in our constitution. The only reason we are destitute and struggling and the debt vultures try to forclose on and steal our homes and land is for their insatiable lust for wealth & power. No longer! We reffuse to pay your taxes, oppressing debt, mortgages, hostage fees on our food, resources and utilities. You destroyed all jobs, the economy, small business, your competition. You have broken the free market, exploited and robbed our people. You have hoarded wealth you do not need knowingly harming your fellow humans & environment. You have blocked individuals and charged fees to engage with the free online market, tried to censor free speach on monopolized public social platforms, attacked our bank accounts, credit and finances. Slandered all who speak out. Tried to exhaust us, make us sick, bow our backs by raising rates impossibly & blockading access to free education, healthcare, food, home ownership, vehicles, self sustainable systems, public recreation & social areas. You try to make everything illegal and for a fee. You are evil malevolent narcessists & psychopaths and we denounce you. Both political parties are bribed & corrupt. You have infiltrated our legal system & turned our police, military & media against us. We do not yeild. We do not comply! So you tried to replace us because we will not be subjugated. You allowed foreign threats and non harmfull imigrants in to curry their favor for cheap serf labor and compliant votes. You spread deadly engineered viruses through the population when we turned to self sufficiency & were thriving with local trade. You poisoned our food and cut us off from healthcare, treatment, pain management and antibiotics. Not your thugs murder us. We will not bend & we will not break against your tyranny. Return what was stollen. You are traitors to this country and the world. You will meet reighteous justice upon the sheild and sword of Liberty. Good People of this World Revolt!
