Police Open Fire on U-Haul at Immigration Protest Outside Coast Guard Base

Video Description

A tense immigration protest outside the U.S. Coast Guard Base in Alameda, California escalated when officers opened fire on a U-Haul truck that suddenly reversed toward a line of Coast Guard and law enforcement personnel. Witnesses say 20–30 shots were fired as the truck rapidly backed up toward officers amid ongoing protests against a planned immigration enforcement surge in the San Francisco Bay Area. According to the Coast Guard, security personnel issued multiple commands before firing when the vehicle posed a “direct threat.” The driver, who later fled and returned, was wounded and is undergoing a mental health evaluation, according to Homeland Security officials. Two civilians were also reportedly injured, and a bystander was struck by a fragment. 📍 Key Details: Incident took place outside Coast Guard Base Alameda U-Haul reversed toward officers during immigration crackdown protests Coast Guard security fired 20–30 rounds (witness report) Driver wounded, taken for mental health evaluation Two civilians injured, one bystander hit by flying debris FBI now leading the investigation Protests tied to planned Bay Area immigration enforcement surge Smoke grenades, flash bangs, and detentions reported earlier in the day The base was identified as a staging area for increased immigration enforcement before President Trump later announced that the San Francisco surge had been called off following discussions with city officials and tech leaders.
