SECTION 1:  Title

This Initiative shall be known and may be cited as “Crush Ice.”

 

SECTION 2:  Findings and Purposes

a) The Immigration and Naturalization Service (hereafter sometimes “ICE”) was established in the United States in 1933 to monitor and control immigration at U.S. points of entry.

b) The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (hereafter sometimes “Border Patrol”) has a mission to “secure the borders of the United States.”  Currently, the Border Patrol’s jurisdiction for its mission extends 100 miles from any international border.

c) During the current federal administration, both ICE and the Border Patrol have conducted sweeps of cities and other areas in the U.S., often far from any international border, for the purpose of deporting foreign-born immigrants.  No definitive data is available as to the number of deportees, but the American Immigration Council  states that there were over 600,000 deportations in 2025 alone.

d) The President of the United States has claimed that foreign residents of the U.S. are often criminals, and he has declared on several occasions that deportations would focus on “the worst of the worst” (July 12, 2025).  The White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller announced on the television show “Hannity” in May, 2025, that the administration had a goal of deporting 3,000 people per day.

e) In order to meet the requirements of the federal administration, 15,000 federal law enforcement employees, including one-quarter of FBI agents,  have been diverted from jobs fighting organized crime, fraud, and human trafficking to immigration enforcement.  The Guardian, October 9, 2025.  Eighty percent (80%) of the employees of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives have likewise been transferred to immigration work.  See January 8, 2026 from forty Senators to President Trump.

f) As of November 30, 2025, ICE facilities held 65,735 individuals (some of these individuals had been arrested by the Border Patrol).  On September 29, 2025, Time Magazine reported that over 70% of the detainees had no criminal record at all.  Most of the remaining 30% had convictions for minor traffic infractions.  According to a Cato Institute report of June 25, 2025, only 7% of detainees had been convicted of violent crimes.

g) In addition to arresting and detaining non-citizen residents, Pro Publica reported on October 16, 2025 that more than 170 U.S. citizens were detained by ICE.  It was further reported that these citizens, including several pregnant women, had been dragged, tackled, beaten, and tased.

h) The ACLU and human rights organizations reported in 2025 that ICE facilities featured unsanitary conditions (including toilet overflows), inadequate food, and denial of access to medical treatment and prescription medication.  ICE itself confirmed that 32 individuals had died in detention in 2025 (this compares to 24 individuals in the four years of the Biden Administration).

i) In their sweeps of cities to detain “aliens,” ICE and the Border Patrol have deployed un-uniformed officers, who are masked, display no badges, refuse to reveal their identity, and arrive in unmarked cars.  In addition, they deploy tear gas, shoot pepper balls into the faces of individuals, and employ chokeholds on protesters.  According to a New York Times article from 2025, ICE had carried out at least eight deadly shootings of unarmed individuals.  

j) In the current siege of Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 7 of this year, while Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen, was attempting to drive away from a group of ICE hoodlums, ICE agent Jonathon Ross repeatedly shot Ms. Good, killing her.  Ms. Good was not armed.  President Trump called Ms. Good a “very violent” woman.  Vice-President Vance said Good was “brainwashed and a victim of left-wing ideology.”  Homeland Security Secretary Noem said the ICE officer fired in “self-defense.”  None of these things was true.  The Department of Justice has refused to open an investigation into the killing, focusing instead on the supposed activities of Ms. Good’s widow.

k) On January 24 of this year, once again in Minneapolis, Minnesota, two Boarder Patrol officers reportedly fired 10 bullets into the prone body of unarmed citizen Alex Pretti, a nurse caring for disabled veterans at the local Veterans Administration facility.  After this latest (as of date of writing) murder, US Attorney General Pam Bondi offered to have ICE recalled from Minnesota, if the State government released voter data information to her.

l) It is clear from the actions cited above and broadcast on an almost daily basis live on television, that ICE and the Border Patrol are not acting as “law enforcement” entities but rather as masked hoodlums terrorizing American cities while carrying out raids to satisfy the arbitrary and inhuman goals of the White House.  ICE and the Border Patrol routinely engage in kidnappings, assaults, and, as shown as recently as January 7 and 24 of this year, even killings of unarmed men and women.

Reflecting on these circumstances,

 

SECTION 3:  ORDINANCE

IT IS HEREBY AFFIRMED THAT THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO deems ICE and Border Patrol officers and/or agents operating within the jurisdiction of the City and County of San Francisco, defined as within the City limits of San Francisco, as terrorists and that ICE and Border Patrol are terrorist organizations.  [This Ordinance replaces Administrative Code Section 12H.2-1, previously repealed July 17, 2016.]

Black’s Law Dictionary defines “terrorism” as “the use or threat of violence to intimidate or cause panic, especially, as a means of achieving a political end.”

The Oxford Dictionary defines “terrorist” as a person who “uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.”

Whether one relies on Black’s Law Dictionary, the Oxford Dictionary, or any other dictionary of the English language, it is clear that the terms “terrorism” and “terrorist” apply to the organizations and individuals named above.

In furtherance of the goal of preventing terrorists from profiting from San Francisco citizens by way of tax support, the said Administrative Code Section 12H.2-1, as set forth above, is amended to include the following provisions:

(a) Any person employed by ICE on or after January 1, 2027 is hereby found to be ineligible to be employed by the City and County of San Francisco in any capacity, including as a sheriff or deputy sheriff, or police officer.

(b) Any person employed by the Border Patrol on or after January 1, 2027 who engages in immigration enforcement activities more than 25 miles from an international border or more than 10 miles from an international airport is hereby found to be ineligible to be employed by the City and County of San Francisco in any capacity, including as a sheriff or deputy sheriff or police officer.  In this Ordinance, the term “immigration enforcement activities” shall mean the detention, arrest, wounding, or killing of any alleged undocumented person, or the participation in such detention, arrest, wounding, or killing, and including the detention, arrest, wounding, or killing of any US citizen participating in a peaceful protest or recording by cell phone (or otherwise) of the detention, arrest, wounding, or killing of such alleged undocumented person.

(c) As to individuals identified in (a) and (b), above, no company or organization contracting to perform services for the City and County of San Francisco may employ such persons, or if such person becomes so employed, the contract for services shall be void as of the discovery of such employment.

(d) Should the City Attorney, State Attorney General, or court of competent jurisdiction find any part of this Ordinance to require additional measures by the Civil Service Commission or Board of Supervisors to fully implement the purposes of the Ordinance, such bodies are hereby directed to adopt such further measures promptly, upon notification of such need.

(e) If any part of this Ordinance, or the application thereof, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected thereby, and this Ordinance shall otherwise continue in full force and effect.  To this end, the provisions of this Ordinance, and each of them, are severable.
