San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and city leadership spoke Friday on public safety ahead of a large day of protests expected Saturday.
Lurie and city leaders reminded people that local law enforcement is not working for ICE. But city officials say they will respond to violence.
“We will not tolerate violence and destructive behavior. And will never tolerate violence directed at law enforcement or city workers,” said Mayor Daniel Lurie.

“We stand united with those who are expressing themselves in a peaceful manner, in a legal manner to oppose the things they are seeing. But, as a district attorney, I have to be clear. We draw the line with people who violate the law,” said DA Brooke Jenkins. “We will file charges against those who are committing vandalism, violence and other acts that are criminal in San Francisco.”
Indivisible San Francisco is leading the march from Dolores Park to City Hall.
“We believe in two fundamental values: we don’t have kings in the US of America, and we have the constitutional right to peacefully protest and have our voices heard,” said Michelle Magee, with Indivisible San Francisco.
