Hard to say how many showed up for Alex Pretti’s vigil, but easily hundreds if not thousands. After community activists and leaders spoke at the park where they gathered, everyone marched to the site of Pretti’s killing. Streets just filled with people demanding ICE out.

The “civilians” they cleared the road for are the same cars that entered this morning where an escalated confrontation happened. They are alleged to be federal agents.

CHP is currently pushing people out of the entrance to Coast Guard Island, Alameda, California, where ICE agents and federal guard are being housed. They’ve been asked to clear the street so “civilians” can leave the base. Unclear what they mean by “civilians” and won’t offer more information.

Heavy California Highway Patrol presence that just showed up in Alameda, California, with what we can confirm is about 30 or more sitting outside the perimeter seemingly waiting to be called in. They’re calling for protesters to move out of the road to clear the way for people to exit the base.

Protester praying on the "government property" line where US Coast Guard security is currently holding the perimeter. You can see on the ground pieces of the a car and the flash grenade that was used in an earlier altercation as alleged ICE agents tried to enter the facility.

Scenes and signs from the entrance to Coast Guard Island, where National Guard and federal agents are being housed. Protesters and faith leaders have been here since the early hours of the morning, blocking the one entrance on and off the island.

I’m currently at the entrance to Coast Guard Island where National Guard troops and ICE agents are being housed prior to their deployment on the Bay Area. Couple hundred people are here blocking access in and out. Lots of faith leaders here who are praying at the edge of the property line.

I’m reading the new Hunger Games on the way back from the Oligarchy Tour and this part… They imprisoned a young woman who made space for people to be angry together about what’s happening. Most everyone we spoke to was there because it was a space made for people to gather together and be angry.

picture of text from the new hunger games novel that reads:

"No. Just hauled me in. Less about what I played, more about how it drew people. Everybody's real upset this year, so many kids. They needed a place to be together, to raise their voices.
Sometimes the hurt's too bad to bear alone."

It looks like the Trump administration has wiped a 2024 study from the DOJ website that shows undocumented immigrants commit less violent and drug related crimes than US citizens. You can google the study name and it still appears, yet when you click you’re redirected to the homepage.
