Bay Area news media are reporting that more than 100 federal agents, including from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, have been dispatched to Coast Guard Base Alameda and will begin arriving tomorrow, Thursday, October 23. The Alameda Police Department (APD) is not a part of this operation, and APD does not enforce federal immigration laws or related civil warrants.
