He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods.

Under the Federal Tort Claims Act, private individuals can sue the U.S. government for damages inflicted by agents acting on the government’s behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an emailed statement responding to the claims, a DHS spokesperson said, “Likening ICE to the Gestapo is gross.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12071712\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12071712 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/ICEAgentsMinnesotaGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/ICEAgentsMinnesotaGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/ICEAgentsMinnesotaGetty-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/ICEAgentsMinnesotaGetty-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sheriff’s deputies keep an eye on protesters blocking the entrance to the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Jan. 30, 2026. \u003ccite>(Roberto Schmidt/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>DHS officers have been subject to “grave threats and dangerous situations,” the spokesperson said, and added that while the First Amendment protects free speech and peaceful assembly, it does not protect rioting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We remind the public that rioting is dangerous, obstructing law enforcement is a federal crime and assaulting law enforcement is a felony,” the statement said. did not respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the claim against DHS byof Georgia Wynn Savageford, she was blowing a whistle and engaged in peaceful protest on the morning of Jan. 24 when an officer pushed her to the pavement, dragged her face-down across the street and knelt on her back to handcuff her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the back of an ICE vehicle, she watched a federal officer shoot and kill \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12071074/heres-what-california-leaders-said-about-latest-minneapolis-killing\">fellow protester Alex Pretti\u003c/a>, the claim said, then she was taken to a warehouse next to the federal building, where she said she was held all day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For approximately five hours, agents repeatedly moved Ms. Savageford between cells to ask ‘who was paying’ Ms. Savageford.

When federal agents began using tear gas and flash-bang grenades, Allen began to walk away, but he was hit in the back with projectiles. When he started to run, the claim said, agents tackled him to the ground and arrested him.[aside postID=news_12070016 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/260115-JAMES-COOK-EF-01-KQED.jpg']“The agents repeatedly told Mr. Allen to ‘stop resisting,’ but Mr. Allen was not resisting,” the claim said. “The agents called Mr. Allen names such as ‘fat ass’ and ‘black bitch.’ One agent pepper-sprayed Mr. Allen in the face.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking at a German restaurant in Minneapolis on Thursday in a press conference announcing the claims, Allen’s wife, Sarah Allen, said she heard a commotion behind her that day and a man’s voice crying out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I turn around to see what was happening, all I can see is a group of masked agents violently assaulting my husband,” she said. “It is incredibly difficult to explain the kind of fear that you feel as you realize that these people who hours before had just shot and killed an innocent man in the street might now do the same to the love of your life in front of your eyes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paramedics eventually took Matt Allen to the emergency room, according to his claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said the claims are the first step toward a class-action lawsuit.

I re-reviewed the laws that I helped to write. I believe what they did was they assisted with immigration enforcement by assisting with an arrest, a detention, and transportation for ICE,” Chan told reporters outside SFPD headquarters on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SFPD does not assist in civil federal immigration enforcement and cannot impede federal law enforcement actions as outlined in our city charter, state law and our department policy,” SFPD spokesperson Paulina Henderson said in an emailed statement on Wednesday. Henderson said officers responded to a 911 call at the airport Sunday evening, and then determined the event involved federal immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie told reporters that city sanctuary policies “are not going anywhere as long as I am mayor. We are going to continue those policies. SFPD and any local law enforcement will not assist federal immigration enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unimpressed with Lurie’s response, Chan called on city officials to address questions about SFPD’s role in the arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t need a law degree to understand the SFPD violated state and local sanctuary laws that night,” she said. “They were there to protect ICE.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/tychehendricks\">Tyche Hendricks\u003c/a> and Paula Sibulo contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Bill Ong Hing, a longtime immigration attorney, professor of law at the University of San Francisco and former police commissioner, said immigration enforcement is not “within the TSA’s jurisdiction or responsibilities,” and called the Trump administration’s use of TSA to go after people targeted for removal “disturbing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[TSA’s] responsibility is to make sure that people have their travel documents and they have a valid ID. It’s not to test whether or not somebody is lawfully in the United States,” he told KQED on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, Bay Area officials confirmed that the arrest was not part of the Trump administration’s wider push to use ICE to staff security lines, while TSA workers go unpaid during a government shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hing said it’s not unusual for ICE to take a while to follow up with people with active removal orders, which a judge may automatically order if \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12077372/san-francisco-immigration-courts-order-800-removals-in-absentia-in-1-week\">a person misses an immigration court hearing\u003c/a>. While in the past, ICE prioritized those with U.S. criminal records, the administration is likely looking closely at deportation lists in order to fulfill “Stephen Miller’s goal of deporting 3,000 people a day,” the attorney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hing, who volunteers with rapid response networks, also described the impact the removal process can have on young children who witness their family member’s arrest or sometimes are arrested themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There should be a different way of doing this, but every day parents are being arrested with their children,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the TSA news came to light, local advocates filed complaints against the San Francisco Police Department on Wednesday, alleging that officers violated local and state sanctuary city laws during the detention and deportation, after cell phone footage showed a phalanx of SFPD officers lining up between the agents and the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant Chief San Francisco Public Defender Angela Chan, who worked on writing the SFPD sanctuary policy in 2020, said she was filing a complaint with the Department of Police Accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I reviewed all the videos. I re-reviewed the laws that I helped to write. I believe what they did was they assisted with immigration enforcement by assisting with an arrest, a detention, and transportation for ICE,” Chan told reporters outside SFPD headquarters on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SFPD does not assist in civil federal immigration enforcement and cannot impede federal law enforcement actions as outlined in our city charter, state law and our department policy,” SFPD spokesperson Paulina Henderson said in an emailed statement on Wednesday. Henderson said officers responded to a 911 call at the airport Sunday evening, and then determined the event involved federal immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie told reporters that city sanctuary policies “are not going anywhere as long as I am mayor. We are going to continue those policies. SFPD and any local law enforcement will not assist federal immigration enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unimpressed with Lurie’s response, Chan called on city officials to address questions about SFPD’s role in the arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t need a law degree to understand the SFPD violated state and local sanctuary laws that night,” she said. “They were there to protect ICE.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/tychehendricks\">Tyche Hendricks\u003c/a> and Paula Sibulo contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
