An ICE Out of the Bay protester kneels in front of police\u00a0near ICE headquarters on Sansome Street in San Francisco on Sunday, June 8, 2025.Scott Strazzante\/S.F. Chronicle<\/em><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. prosecutors on Friday charged a man with assaulting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer and destroying government property, marking at least the second criminal case to stem from clashes between protesters and federal agents in San Francisco this summer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caleb Ranney faces up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine for each of the two charges, which are misdemeanors, if convicted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors allege that on Aug. 8, Ranney \u201cforcibly assaulted, resisted, opposed, impeded, intimidated and interfered\u201d with a federal agent who was performing his official duties near the ICE field office at 630 Sansome St., but provided no further details of the allegations in court records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ranney is also accused of damaging a sally port on the Jackson Street side of the building, causing less than $1,000 in damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Court records filed on Friday stated that Ranney had not been arrested. His initial court appearance was scheduled for Dec. 19 in San Francisco.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chronicle was not able to reach Ranney for comment, and it was unclear whether he had retained an attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video footage of the Aug. 8 incident,\u00a0published by Mission Local<\/a>, showed ICE officers tackling and handcuffing two protesters before marching them into the nearby building. It\u2019s unclear whether Ranney was one of the people seen in the video, or what happened immediately prior to the confrontation.\u00a0 Some of the earlier protests resulted in\u00a0violent clashes<\/a>\u00a0between protesters and ICE agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ranney faces the same charges as Angelica Guerrero<\/a>, another person who was arrested during a San Francisco ICE protest this summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials said Guerrero slashed the tires of an ICE van on Aug. 20 while agents were attempting to put an arrestee in it, and \u201cmade repeated threats\u201d to one agent, including threatening to stab the agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guerrero was held on a $10,000 bond and detained for a day in Alameda County\u2019s Santa Rita Jail before being released. She is due back in court Dec. 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
