Anti-ICE protestors create chaos at the SLO County Jail, video

December 17, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

A group of anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protestors berated federal agents and obstructed the arrest of an inmate at the San Luis Obispo County Jail on Sunday morning.

ICE agents monitor jail logs for arrests and releases of undocumented immigrants with a history of deportations. On the morning of a suspect’s release, ICE agents waited in the lobby with plans to take the suspect into custody.

Protesters taunted the ICE agents calling them names, cornering them and yelling at an inmate to flee back into the jail, according to the SLO County Sheriff’s Office. An ICE agent followed the inmate into a secure section. A deputy then told the agent to step back.

In order to deescalate the situation, the inmate was taken back into the jail.

In an attempt to clear up misinformation regarding the altercation, the SLO County Sheriff’s Office released a video of the ruckus and a warning to protesters.

SLO County “Sheriff’s Office employees should not be subjected to disturbances, obscene behavior, or foul language while carrying out their duties,” according to the sheriff’s office. “This video is being shared to remind the public that this type of behavior is unacceptable and unlawful under Penal Code 602.1.

“This law applies when a person intentionally interferes with lawful business conducted by employees of a public agency open to the public, including obstructing or intimidating employees, visitors, or members of the public. Individuals who violate this law may be asked to leave the premises and may be subject to arrest if they refuse.”

Wow, Very sad! Those agents did not deserve to be attacked for doing their job! They really look like the “Top of our local society” don’t they? I mean really, they actually all looked related?

I see that over at the Rodong Sinmun they finally had to acknowledge the existence of the video, after first posting a story which made it seem as if SLOSO personnel, in a heroic act of resistance, physically interposed themselves between ICE agents and the prospective deportee. Now they have their new version behind a paywall. Before I lost visibility I saw that they seem to devote a paragraph to “Does the Video Tell the Whole Story?” Well, yes, it does. I actually believe in peaceful protest, part of the whole oath I took lo these many years ago, but this incident is not that. The video is damning, though not surprising to those of us who’ve observed the Local Lefties over the years. I still remember their execrable treatment of Jordan Cunningham at the SLO Vets’ Hall after the 2016, and their handler who gave hand and arm signals to his myrmidons when he wanted the shouting and chanting to drown out anything Cunningham had to say. These people are the product of The Long March Through the Institutions. Gramsci’s grand-kids, though only their leadership would recognize that name. Well, this ought to be interesting.

They sure seem to have a lot of time on their hands. Could this free time be supported by working, tax-paying Americans???

Too bad Mexicans don’t get so mad at their own corrupt government, the root of all their problems. All the flipped birds and F words in the world won’t fix that little discrepancy.

If you don’t have business in that building you need to leave and protest on the sidewalk otherwise you should be arrested for trespassing.

I wonder how many of these provocateurs were misgendered during the ruckus, leading to more mayhem…?
