CBP Deployment At Coast Guard Island Triggers ‘No ICE’ Kayak Protest After Pepper-Ball Clash

Dozens of protesters in kayaks surrounded Coast Guard Island in Alameda, denouncing a federal immigration deployment after days of bridge blockades and a non-lethal pepper-ball incident involving a driver at a police line. Saturday’s action remained peaceful, and organizers urged neighbors to join rapid-response and mutual aid networks while warning that operations could expand elsewhere in the Bay Area. Land protests have paused, but activists say the movement continues.
