University of San Francisco students will speak on U.S. government accountability to uphold the Constitution relating to both immigration enforcement and our civil liberties. They will explain how anti-immigrant forces intentionally create panic and fear, and will present a Know Your Rights description. Legal options will be explained; and they will share ways ordinary citizens can support immigrants during this time of growing immigration instability. The latest court rulings will also be discussed, and what they portend for the future of our democracy.
Camila Carrera is USF School of Law graduate, and since 2018, has worked at various immigration firms and recently has been involved in complex immigration cases. Mirna Champ is a 3rd year law student at USF, already working directly with immigrants navigating defensive and affirmative asylum, termination cases and other humanitarian relief cases.

4. Sunday, 2:00pm, EMERGENCY PROTEST: Stop the War on Iran
Meet at:
Embarcadero Plaza
SF
Trump’s unprovoked bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities is an outright war crime. It violates the UN Charter, international law, and the U.S. Constitution. It threatens to set into motion a regional or even global war with massive casualties, nuclear radiation, and catastrophic consequences.
The people of the United States and the world reject this new war of aggression. This is the critical moment to say NO to yet another war to “remake” the Middle East and steal the region’s vast natural resources.
Trump lied during the campaign when he said he was going to end the “forever wars” and bring about peace. He and Netanyahu have repeatedly lied about an Iranian nuclear weapons program. He is no different from George W. Bush who lied about “weapons of mass destruction” to initiate the catastrophic war in Iraq.
Join us in the street tomorrow, Sunday, June 22 at 2pm as we demand an immediate end to US and Israeli attacks on Iran and its sovereignty. The people of the United States want more funding for health care, education and infrastructure. Instead, Trump and his war hawks are launching a new war that puts the world at risk, will cause the bloodshed of Iranians (and ultimately Americans) and only benefits the military-industrial complex.

Shamefully, Travis Air Force Base, the largest U.S. Air Force transport base in the country, sends weapons to Israel AND is aiding in mass deportation flights. It is also being considered for an ICE Detention Center. Our coalition pledges to continue our ongoing protests and Human Blockades at Travis until these illegal activities stop and Travis is no longer complicit in genocide.
Supported by 30 sponsors and endorsers. We invite other organizations to join our campaign.
Legal Observers and Security monitors to participate.
Risking arrest is optional, and many support roles are needed.

7. Tuesday, 7:00pm – 9:00pm, Stop Genocide Now….. Or Else
CounterPulse
80 Turk St.
SF
Space is ADA accessible, and masks will be required.
Join trans/queer organizers from three movements who took bold actions to save lives.
In 1989 “Stop AIDS Now Or Else” blocked the Golden Gate Bridge in response to the genocidal inaction of the US government.
In 2016, the Black queer collective black.seed shut down the Bay Bridge because cops would not (and still won’t) stop killing Black people.
In solidarity with the Palestinian resistance to the Israeli genocide, in 2024 organizers again blocked the bridge and are now facing state repression for their necessary action.
As fascism continues to spread across the globe, what strategies are needed now?
Organized by Sad Francisco, Gay Shame, The HALA Collective

8. Wednesday,9:00am – 10:00am(PT); 12Noon – 1:00pm (ET), rom #Guantánamo to CECOT: Abuses by the US Government In the Name of “National Security”
RSVP: Webinar Registration – Zoom
This event will be held with remote simultaneous interpretation in English and Spanish and American Sign Language interpretation.
To commemorate the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, join a webinar hosted by Amnesty International.
Over the last two-plus decades the US government has jumped through legal loopholes to arbitrarily and indefinitely detain men in the Guantánamo Bay military prison under the guise of “national security.” Under the Trump administration, the US government has expanded its abuses using the same justification, entering into controversial agreements with El Salvador to detain unlawfully expelled individuals—people seeking safety and migrants accused of being gang members—at the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT), a mega-prison known for its harsh conditions and human rights abuses.
Both prisons are defined by indefinite detention without trial, lack of due process, torture or other cruel, inhuman, degrading treatment, lack of transparency and oversight, and the US’ use of extraterritorial detention. Guantánamo remains a symbol of the US’ “War on Terror” and CECOT as a showcase of so called “tough-on-crime” policies where the US sends people seeking safety and migrants who are considered “enemy aliens” – and both are places where human rights violations thrive.
Host: Amnesty International
9. Wednesday, 1:00pm – 2:00pm, The Aggressive Crackdown by ICE: Inside Growing Architecture of Immigration Enforcement
Virtual event:
RSVP: https://events.propublica.org/immigration-enforcement
Panel discussion on how the U.S. government’s aggressive immigration crackdown is reshaping the lives of migrants.
Join ProPublica reporters for an in-depth discussion about their recently published investigations into the Trump administration’s moves to ramp up deportations. Together, these stories reveal how immigration enforcement is quietly being embedded into everyday institutions, raising urgent questions about transparency, accountability and the future of immigration policy in America.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement, tasked with protecting unaccompanied immigrant children, has shifted toward enforcement by sharing sponsor information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, leading to the arrests of such guardians and the prolonged detentions of children, as well as family separations. This transformation has turned a protective agency into an enforcement arm, placing minors and mixed-status families at new risk, often without public knowledge or accountability.
Meanwhile, ICE officials tout an unprecedented expansion of the 287(g) Program, which allows state and local police to enter federal agreements to act as deportation officers. Government watchdogs have warned that such agreements lack oversight, while advocates allege they come at a high cost to communities.
The panel also examines how private companies and logistics networks have enabled enforcement to scale rapidly and invisibly. We’ll share insights into the hidden world of deportation flights, where civilian flight attendants report unsafe, traumatic conditions as migrants are moved with little oversight. We’ll also discuss how a privately held company has made billions running tent detention facilities to hold immigrants entering the U.S. at the border. The session also covers how individuals — many without criminal convictions — have been swept up in this system and deported to dangerous conditions abroad, including prisons in El Salvador.
During this virtual event, reporters will trace these threads across systems of care, policing, privatization and international detention, revealing how enforcement has become more expansive. Submit your question for our panelists below when you RSVP.
