Agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection are being dispatched to Coast Guard Base Alameda within the next 24 hours, according to base officials.

ABC News confirmed with a source familiar with the plans that the agents are part of an "immigration surge operation."

"This support of DHS agencies continues the Coast Guard's operations to control, secure, and defend U.S. borders and maritime approaches," said Coast Guard spokesperson. "Through a whole-of-government approach, we are leveraging our unique authorities and capabilities to detect, deter, and interdict illegal aliens, narco-terrorists, and individuals intent on terrorism or other hostile activity before they reach our border."

State and local leaders are pushing back as federal immigration enforcement agents are headed to the Bay Area.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Luried held a press conference Wednesday detailing how the city was preparing for the federal immigration operation in the city.

San Francisco law enforcement officials and multiple supervisors stood around Lurie as he gave his speech.

"This doesn't make our city safer, it terrorizes our communities," Lurie said. "We don't exactly know what the federal government is planning in San Francisco and across the Bay Area, but we do know this federal administration has a playbook in cities across the country."

Lurie urged the public to remain calm and protest peacefully.

"If federal officials come to incite chaos on the streets of San Francisco, the way to support our communities and keep everyone in our city safe is to make our voices heard peacefully," he said. "Violence and destruction will only open the door to a more aggressive response, and that puts our communities at greater risk."

Lurie also announced that he signed an executive directive Wednesday designed to prepare for the impacts related to the deployment of federal troops to the city. The directive includes actions to bolster support for immigrant communities and also coordinate local law enforcement and the city's Department of Emergency Management to help promote public safety.

Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee also weighed in, saying that she intends to inform the public of any updates regarding the presence of federal agents.

"Oakland remains a proud sanctuary city committed to standing with our immigrant families, and we are actively monitoring this situation and are in touch with our state and federal delegation," Lee said in a statement. "We will notify our community with as much information as possible about any federal deployment."
