Those cars sped out and what looked like civilian CG employees later followed through—
The “civilians” they cleared the road for are the same cars that entered this morning where an escalated confrontation happened. They are alleged to be federal agents.

CHP is currently pushing people out of the entrance to Coast Guard Island, Alameda, California, where ICE agents and federal guard are being housed. They’ve been asked to clear the street so “civilians” can leave the base. Unclear what they mean by “civilians” and won’t offer more information.

Heavy California Highway Patrol presence that just showed up in Alameda, California, with what we can confirm is about 30 or more sitting outside the perimeter seemingly waiting to be called in. They’re calling for protesters to move out of the road to clear the way for people to exit the base.

Protester praying on the "government property" line where US Coast Guard security is currently holding the perimeter. You can see on the ground pieces of the a car and the flash grenade that was used in an earlier altercation as alleged ICE agents tried to enter the facility.

I’m currently at the entrance to Coast Guard Island where National Guard troops and ICE agents are being housed prior to their deployment on the Bay Area. Couple hundred people are here blocking access in and out. Lots of faith leaders here who are praying at the edge of the property line.

"What brings you out to the No Kings rally?"
"Trump is being an asshole."
Oakland, California, protesters showed out for their local No Kings rally—and Mother Jones' @michaelmechanic.bsky.social caught up with a few to talk.
