No confirmed Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids were reported to legal aid groups in the Bay Area Sunday, advocates said, despite an expected wave of detentions that had sparked fear in the region’s immigrant communities.
Activists had been bracing for a nationwide operation to detain at least 2,000 undocumented people who had been ordered by courts to leave the country, recruiting extra volunteers to staff hotlines collecting reports about ICE activity across the region.
The agency’s headquarters in downtown San Francisco — the site of protests in recent days — was silent around midmorning, with no one entering or leaving over the course of about an hour. Several cars and a bus sat motionless in the fenced-off parking lot, where detained immigrants are typically dropped off.
But instead of the flood of calls that some expected to receive starting early Sunday morning, it was relatively quiet.
