Overview

• Federal prosecutors charged Angélica Guerrero with two misdemeanors: destruction of property and assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer.
• Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim ordered her release pending a September court date and set stay-away conditions for the immigration court and ICE headquarters in San Francisco.
• Guerrero, a U.S. citizen, was held for about 24 hours, reported no immediate access to a phone or lawyer, and was transferred between ICE custody and Santa Rita Jail before court.
• Witnesses and video show ICE and HSI agents using pepper-spray, batons, tackles, and zip-ties during clashes as protesters tried to block vans transporting a detained asylum-seeker, including by puncturing a tire.
• Labor and immigrant groups condemned the tactics, while legal advocates questioned agents’ authority under an ICE directive that permits arrests if officers believe a felony is occurring during immigration enforcement.
