San Francisco Congressional Representatives Respond to ICE Incident at SFO

San Francisco, CA - Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (CA-11) and Congressman Kevin Mullin (CA-15) who jointly represent San Francisco in the U.S. House of Representatives, issued the following statement response to reports of ICE agents detaining a woman at the San Francisco International Airport:

"The video of a mother being aggressively detained by ICE agents in front of her daughter at the San Francisco International Airport is yet another heartbreaking example of how Trump's inhumane immigration enforcement is terrorizing communities across America.

After killing people in our streets and detaining U.S. citizens, ICE has lost all credibility and trust with the public. We demand immediate answers as to the mother's and her child's condition and the grounds for their detainment.

The hardworking TSA staff at SFO are contract employees, and we are relieved to hear this incident is not related to Trump's threat to send ICE agents into airports to perform sensitive airport security for which they are not trained.

Trump and Republicans are failing to keep communities safe and posing risks to families across America."
