A conflict took place outside of the San Francisco Immigration Court this week, highlighted in a video released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), showing a heated exchange between ICE agents and demonstrators.

The clash, which took place Tuesday, is the latest in a growing series of confrontations with federal immigration officers. 

According to ICE, assaults on immigration agents have surged nearly 700% compared to last year.

Mission Local reported that the protest was sparked by the detention of a particular migrant, though specifics about the situation remain undisclosed.

An ICE representative informed Fox News Digital that the protesters “aggressively assaulted and impeded federal law enforcement officers carrying out their official responsibilities.”

“These violent individuals have zero respect for the rule of law and casually violate it. This type of vile behavior has led to a 700% increase in assaults against ICE officers, and just last week, a coordinated attack at an ICE facility led to an officer being shot,” they said. “Under Secretary Noem’s leadership, DHS will not tolerate violence against officers, and those responsible will be held accountable.”

As the Trump administration continues to ramp up immigration enforcement, individuals against the administration have actively opposed ICE operations, particularly the practice of detaining individuals at immigration courthouses.

Demonstrators have called for an end to ICE agents operating in plainclothes and using unmarked vehicles, practices they argue contribute to fear and lack of accountability. 

The Visible Identification Standards for Immigration-Based Law Enforcement (VISIBLE) Act, introduced by Democratic Sens. Alex Padilla of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey, aims to ban immigration officers from concealing their identities while engaged in enforcement activities.

“For weeks, Americans have watched federal agents with no visible identification detain people off the streets and instill fear in communities across the country,” Booker said of the bill Tuesday. “Reports of individuals impersonating ICE officers have only increased the risk to public and officer safety. The lack of visible identification and uniform standards for immigration enforcement officers has created confusion, stoked fear and undermined public trust in law enforcement.”
