San Francisco supervisors approve ordinance declaring
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has approved an ordinance prohibiting federal immigration operations on city property, joining other Bay Area jurisdictions.
On Tuesday, the board unanimously approved what was dubbed the “ICE Free Zones” ordinance, authored by supervisors Bilal Mahmood and Chyanne Chen.
“When immigration enforcement shows up at or near public facilities, we know what happens: people disappear from services, kids miss school, witnesses don’t report crimes, and the City can’t do its job,” Mahmood said in a statement.
According to the board, the measure prohibits any entity from commandeering city property that disrupts the city’s operations. The measure also clarifies that the use of city property to assist the enforcement of federal immigration law is not a city purpose.
Under the measure, the city attorney would be authorized to take legal action against any entity engaged in the unlawful or unauthorized use of city property.
“This legislation is a necessary piece in upholding our Sanctuary City commitments. We will not stand for ICE to use our public properties to aid their harassment or terrorization of San Franciscans,” said Chen.
San Francisco has had a Sanctuary City ordinance in place since 1989, which prohibits city employees from using city funds or resources to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in enforcing federal immigration law unless such assistance is required by federal or state law.
The city also approved a measure in 2013 which limits law enforcement in giving ICE advance notice of a person’s release from jail, along with prohibiting cooperation with ICE detainer requests, also known as “ICE holds.”
Sanctuary policies have been a target of the Trump administration, which has filed multiple lawsuits against more than a dozen Democratic-led states, counties and cities over the policies since last year. Most of the lawsuits remain pending in federal courts across the country.
City officials said similar legislation has passed or is in the works in Alameda County and Santa Clara County, along with the cities of Oakland, Richmond and San Jose.
On Wednesday, San Francisco police closed the case of a missing woman who was last seen in the city in 1973.
Police said 27-year-old Cheryl Lanier was last seen in 1973 in San Francisco, and her initial missing person’s report was filed in 2010. For years, the department’s Missing Person Unit worked on the case, but it remained open and unsolved.
In July 2025, police said they received a tip out of Harris County in Houston, Texas, advising that a deceased “Jane Doe” could be Lanier. After a DNA analysis, police determined the “Jane Doe” was Lanier and closed the case after 53 years.
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A Silver Alert was activated Thursday by the California Highway Patrol after an 85-year-old man was reported missing from South San Francisco.
Zosimo Carmen is described by authorities as 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 155 pounds. He has gray hair and brown eyes.
Carmen was last seen around 2 a.m. on Thursday in the area of James Court and Livingston Place in South San Francisco. He was wearing a brown flannel shirt and blue sweatpants.
The Silver Alert was activated for San Mateo and San Francisco counties.
Anyone who sees Carmen is asked to call 911.

San Francisco Giants honor Willie Mays with highway designation on what would have been his 95th birthday
The San Francisco Giants announced a fitting tribute to one of the best players in the history of Major League Baseball on Wednesday afternoon.
Willie Mays, the legendary center fielder and Hall of Famer, would have turned 95 on Wednesday. And the Giants, in conjunction with Mays’ Say Hey Foundation, along with several other sponsoring parties, will be designating a portion of a local freeway as the Willie Mays Highway.

This designation will cover a portion of Interstate 80 where the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge reaches the city near Oracle Park, the Giants’ home stadium. Signs on I-80 have already been installed with the new designation, a way for Mays to become a permanent part of the San Francisco Bay Area and his home franchise.
Giants personnel spoke about the honor and what it meant to have a “reminder” of his infectious spirit and personality next to the stadium.

“What an incredibly special way to honor Willie’s legacy,” said Larry Baer, Giants president and CEO according to MLB.com “For generations, this portion of I-80 on the Bay Bridge has carried Giants fans into San Francisco, and now it will forever carry Willie’s name—a lasting reminder of the joy and inspiration he brought to this city. It is also fitting that this same span of the bridge is named after former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown Jr., two great San Franciscans.”

Mays came to the Bay with the Giants in 1958, and has a list of accomplishments to rival any other player in MLB history. A 24-time All-Star, two-time MVP, 12-time Gold Glove winner and 660 home runs, the sixth-highest number by an individual player.
Jeff Idelson, the executive director of the Say Hey Foundation, also issued a statement celebrating the announcement.
“Wille was more than a baseball great, he was a part of the fabric that helped define San Francisco culture for more than a half century,” said Idelson. “Not only is this a fitting way to recognize his lasting contribution to the community, but it furthers Willie’s legacy as a national icon.”

One of the state senators who introduced the bill paving the way for this designation was Bill Dodd from nearby Napa, who also added, “I cannot think of anyone better to welcome people traveling across the Bay Bridge to San Francisco than Willie Mays. He was an inspiration to so many of us growing up. I was so pleased to have had a part in making this happen.”

The combination of speed, power, defense and joy Mays played the game with is incredibly rare, which is why his legacy is still viewed with such importance today, nearly 53 years after he retired. Hopefully, the next generation of baseball fans will stay familiar with his career thanks to this reminder.
