Mission Local pointed out this arrest was the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2025\/08\/ice-agents-pepper-spray-protesters-arrest-one-in-downtown-s-f\/\">third US citizen ICE has arrested in SF for protesting<\/a>&nbsp;just this month, and by Thursday, Mission Local had&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2025\/08\/ice-protester-charged-with-federal-misdemeanors-s-f\/\">identified the person arrested<\/a>&nbsp;as being named \u201cAng\u00e9lica,\u201d describing her as \u201ca trans woman from an immigrant family.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SF assistant chief public defender Angela Chan told Mission Local that it was (previously) \u201cunheard of\u201d for agents to detain a US citizen at an ICE facility. Chan said that there are &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-8\/chapter-I\/subchapter-B\/part-287\/section-287.5\">extremely specific circumstances<\/a>\u201d in which ICE can detain a US citizen, saying, \u201cThey must witness a federal felony offense in front of them while engaging in immigration-related enforcement and have completed requisite training.\u201d &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"US Citizen says she was arrested and detained by ICE | KTVU\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B_766-7-Imw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But after one day in custody, Ang\u00e9lica was released, and NBC Bay Area now identifies her as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcbayarea.com\/news\/local\/ice-protester-arrested-san-francisco\/3936607\/\">San Francisco native Angie Guerrero<\/a>. And the KTVU video above has footage of the fracas and arrest (from a distance), plus footage of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktvu.com\/news\/us-citizen-said-she-was-arrested-jailed-ice\">the crowd applauding when Guerrero was released<\/a>&nbsp;on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I was shipped back and forth between a bunch of different agencies,&#8221; Guerrero told NBC Bay Area after being released. &#8220;For a while I was afraid that I was going to be taken somewhere like Louisiana because they have been taking citizens and non-citizens alike all across the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guerrero is apparently a member of the union SEIU 1021, which would indicate she\u2019s some sort of service employee. Members of that union rallied outside the federal building before Angie&#8217;s release, along with Guerrero\u2019s family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The people get secretly transferred somewhere else without the families knowing where they are and even sometimes shipped out of the country,&#8221; her father Ernest Guerrero told KTVU. &#8220;So, that has happened. As a parent, you&#8217;re rushing toward all those possibilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While she\u2019s been released from custody, Angie Guerrero is not out of the woods. According to Mission Local, Guerrero has been charged with two misdemeanors; destruction of property, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer. She has a court date scheduled for sometime in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sfist.com\/2025\/07\/08\/ice-suv-plows-through-protesters-at-sf-courthouse-as-protest-turns-ugly\/\">ICE SUV Plows Through Protesters at SF Courthouse, as Protest Turns Ugly [SFist]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image: WASHINGTON, DC &#8211; AUGUST 16: ICE and other federal agents take a delivery driver into custody at Union Station on August 16, 2025 in Washington, DC.
