immigration courts san francisco arrests ICE deportations.

Immigrant rights advocates rallied outside San Francisco’s immigration court to condemn the Trump administration’s latest deportation tactics. At a rally Wednesday, they also implored asylum-seekers and other migrants trying to stay in the United States to keep their court dates despite possible detention by ICE agents. Advocates say eight people were arrested in the San Francisco and Concord immigrant courthouses Tuesday. They say lawyers are on standby and volunteers are available to accompany people to their hearings. They say immigrants who skip out on hearings are often subject to a removal order and deportation. ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
