Dozens of protesters from faith communities block entrances of San Francisco ICE building

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Dozens of protesters are blocking the two main entrances of the San Francisco ICE building Tuesday morning, according to the Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity.

In a press release, the organization says the protesters are from Bay Area faith communities and are standing up against ICE arrests.

Video shows the large protest outside the ICE building on Sansome Street in the Financial District.

Protesters were seen chanting and holding signs, some reading “ICE out of California.”

“We can no longer stand by and watch as our neighbors are disappeared, ripped away from their families and communities,” said Rev. Rodney Lemery from the Mount Diablo Unitarian Universalist Church of Walnut Creek. “Across all of our religions we are taught to love our neighbors, and not sit idly by in the face of injustice.”
