Activists demand end to ICE activity at Oakland's Eastmont Mall parking lot, stage 'die-in' demonstration
Community activists are calling on Eastmont Mall owners to stop allowing ICE agents to stage operations on the property. Activists are urging Eastmont Mall in Oakland, California, to stop allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to operate on the property. They allege that the parking lot has been used to transfer detainees for over a year and is particularly concerning as it is adjacent to an Alameda County community health clinic. The presence of federal immigration agents has created fear among immigrant families seeking medical care. Activists plan to send an open letter to Oakland city leaders and mall ownership this week asking for all ICE-related activity to be barred from the property, despite a county sign stating that the area may not be used for immigration enforcement activities. The Department of Homeland Security disputes these claims, stating that Eastmont is privately owned.
