Protesters in San Francisco spent the day blocking the entrance to an unmarked building in the South of Market area. Immigrants had been told to report there in what some believed was a trap by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to capture people for deportation.
Across the country, an estimated 5 million protesters took part in more than 2,000 protests, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, a co-sponsor of the nationwide protest. In the Bay Area, more than 50 protests were planned stretching south from Gilroy north to Santa Rosa.
