Videos showing ICE agents detaining a woman at San Francisco International Airport Sunday night are fueling new questions about whether San Francisco police officers improperly assisted in immigration enforcement.
The San Francisco Police Department says officers responded to a 911 call at the airport, but insists none of its officers assisted ICE agents.
Witness videos show ICE agents arresting Angelina Lopez-Jimenez while a child stands nearby. In the footage, a line of SFPD officers appears to separate onlookers from the federal agents as Lopez-Jimenez is handcuffed and detained. The officers are not seen physically restraining her, but appear to form a barrier between the crowd and ICE agents. Later, officers are also seen walking alongside the agents as Lopez-Jimenez is taken away in a wheelchair.
