The Left will stop at nothing to keep illegal immigrants in this country. But this is beyond the pale.
Because ICE agents were ambushed in an American city and now all hell is breaking loose.
San Francisco Protester Charged with Federal Misdemeanors for Assaulting ICE Agents, Threatening Violence
Federal prosecutors charged Adrian Guerrero, a San Francisco protester, with two federal misdemeanors—assaulting a federal officer and destruction of property—following a violent confrontation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on August 20, 2025, outside the San Francisco Immigration Court at 100 Montgomery Street, according to a criminal complaint filed on August 21.
The incident, part of escalating tensions over the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement, involved Guerrero allegedly wielding a black knife, threatening to “stab” an ICE officer and “go after” their family, and slashing a tire on a marked Department of Homeland Security (DHS) vehicle, per the complaint reported by the New York Post.
Guerrero, described as wearing a black-and-white checkered keffiyeh and orange-tinted goggles, was among approximately 15 protesters who clashed with ICE’s Enforcement Removal Operations division, using pepper spray and physically engaging officers, per DHS statements.
Incident Details and Charges
The confrontation, captured on video and reported by Mission Local, occurred as ICE agents arrested an asylum seeker after a court hearing, prompting protesters to block the courthouse entrance and pursue agents to ICE’s headquarters at 630 Sansome Street.
The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) and Federal Protective Services assisted in dispersing the crowd, with at least one protester detained, per NBC Bay Area.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reported a 1,000% increase in assaults on ICE agents in 2025, attributing the violence to rhetoric from “sanctuary politicians” and vowing continued enforcement against serious criminals, including pedophiles and gang members.
The charges against Guerrero, a U.S. citizen, mark a rare instance of ICE detaining citizens in San Francisco, with Bay Area attorneys noting it as the first such case in recent memory, per Mission Local.
Guerrero was released pending a September court date before Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim, per court records.
Further Context and Reactions
The incident follows a pattern of heightened clashes, including a July 4, attack on the Prairieland Detention Center near Dallas, where 10 armed assailants fired on federal agents, leading to attempted m*rder charges, per DHS.
San Francisco’s protests, which have shut down the immigration court multiple times since May, reflect opposition to ICE’s increased presence and tactics, such as plainclothes arrests and unmarked vehicles, criticized by local leaders like Supervisor Jackie Fielder, per NBC News.
Mayor Daniel Lurie condemned the enforcement tactics as fear-inducing, per The San Francisco Standard, while ICE defends its actions as lawful responses to illegal immigration.
