A union representing janitors in San Francisco claimed federal immigration agents entered office buildings last week, spreading concern that immigrant workers in the city may be at risk of being detained.
“The janitors who work in these buildings clean our city’s offices. They go to work each day, pay taxes & raise their kids,” state Sen. Scott Wiener (D–San Francisco) said on social media platform X. “Trump says he’s only targeting criminals. That’s a bald-faced lie.”
President Donald Trump has signed executive orders to strengthen border security and increase deportations since his inauguration. There have been two confirmed immigration enforcement actions in the Bay Area, as well as rumors of several more. Rumors of federal raids and mass deportations have instilled fear in the undocumented community.
