Protest of Bay Area immigration crackdown met with apparent stun grenades at Coast Guard base
Tensions flared early Thursday morning as protesters attempted to block U.S. Border Patrol agents from entering a U.S. Coast Guard base near Oakland that the Trump administration was staging as an operations hub for an anticipated immigration crackdown on the Bay Area.

One protester was injured shortly after sunrise as several federal law enforcement vehicles, including one marked Border Patrol, passed through the crowd stopping traffic onto the island. “Once we start, we won’t stop,” one agent told the protesters blocking his vehicle. The chaos unfolded before President Donald Trump and Mayor Daniel Lurie announced that Trump had called off his planned incursion.
