Activists demand end to ICE activity at Oakland's Eastmont Mall, stage 'die-in' demonstration
Community activists are calling on Eastmont Mall owners to stop allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to stage operations on the property, alleging the site has been used to transfer detainees for more than a year. Community activists are urging Eastmont Mall in Oakland, California, to stop allowing ICE agents to operate on the property. They allege that the site has been used to transfer detainees for over a year and has created fear among immigrant families seeking medical care. The demonstration was held in Parking Lot 'C' at Eastmont mall to honor people who have died while in ICE custody. The Department of Homeland Security has responded to the activists' claims that ICE's presence in public parking lots is fully authorized under federal law and is a standard practice for law enforcement agencies nationwide. Activists plan to send an open letter to Oakland city leaders and mall ownership asking that all ICE-related activity be barred from the property this week.
