Live updates: Federal agent operations canceled for entire Bay Area, Oakland mayor confirms

Two people were hit by gunfire after security officers opened fire on the driver of a U-Haul truck that tried to ram into the entrance to Coast Guard Alameda Station.

Two people were injured after law enforcement opened fire on a U-Haul truck Thursday night that attempted to back into the entrance to Coast Guard Station Alameda.

This happened around 10 p.m. while protesters were demonstrating against a potential federal immigration crackdown.

The truck drove away and no Coast Guard personnel were hurt, the Coast Guard said in a statement.

The Department of Homeland Security released as statement saying that the truck driver and a bystander were injured. The truck driver was shot in the stomach and is being held for mental health evaluation. The bystander was hit by a fragment, treated at the hospital, and released.

Video from the scene shows the U-Haul truck trying to back into the base.

"Coast Guard personnel issued multiple verbal commands to stop the vehicle, the driver failed to comply and proceeded to put the vehicle in reverse," the Coast Guard statement said. "When the vehicle's actions posed a direct threat to the safety of Coast Guard and security personnel, law enforcement officers discharged several rounds of live fire."

ABC7 News spoke with a protester who was on the scene and saw what happened, saying the driver was a lone actor.

"None of the protesters know the driver, we don't know the name, we don't know where he went," he told ABC7 News. "And then after that, we tried to let the Coast Guard know that we were peaceful. They weren't really talking back to us. They were just telling us not to go onto the bridge."

The FBI is leading the investigation and says it was an isolated incident and there is no danger to the public.

Federal agents arrived early Thursday morning at Coast Guard Island in Alameda and were met with protesters who tried to prevent the convoy from entering.

Federal agents arrived early Thursday morning at Coast Guard Island in Alameda and were met with protesters who tried to prevent the convoy from entering.

Dozens of CHP officers wearing riot gear tried to disperse a crowd of protestors at the entrance to allow civilian employees to leave, which resulted in two people being detained and taken away.

Earlier, hundreds of protesters were on the move outside the Coast Guard station, demonstrators blocking the entrance to the base, preventing a convoy of Federal Customs and Border Patrol agents from getting through.

Coast Guard security forces fired two flash bangs into the crowd, two protesters suffered injuries, one man had his foot run over, and another man was injured by the flash bang.

"The blood is from whatever I was shot with. I came to say we're here in peace, they didn't care," said Pastor Jorge Bautista from the United Church of Christ in Oakland.

"I'm here to let ICE know they're not welcome and that we will resist using a small fraction of the resistance; we will not stop, this is unconstitutional," said Tasha from Oakland.

ABC News is confirming, the agents are in the Bay Area as part of an "immigration surge operation," although their exact mission isn't known.

"The president is using the federal government against our own people. We need to make clear, we won't stand for it," said Drew Paton, First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley.

"All these people are out here showing love for communities. I'm the child of immigrants. I had to come and be here for them; they can't come out for safety reasons, so I'll come out for them," said demonstrator Nelson Colindres.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie says that President Trump called him and said he was "calling off any plans for a federal deployment" in the city.

On Thursday, for the second time in as many days, Mayor Daniel Lurie addressed San Franciscans.

He laid out the conversation he had with President Trump about a surge of federal agents into the Bay Area.

"I was told that this surge was being called off. He only spoke about San Francisco prior so all I can say is what he told me," Lurie said.

The mayor says he told the president San Francisco is making progress on everything from homelessness to crime and that the city doesn't need federal help. He did say, however, that his office remains open to cooperation in combating the city's drug crisis.

The operation being called off is being hailed as a victory by some, while others say they still have fears over the federal government's immigration enforcement.

Several rallies and protests had been planned around the Bay Area Thursday.

Organizers tell ABC7 News despite the pause in the operation, they're still encouraging everyone to come out and make their voices heard.

With federal agents now here in the Bay Area, the city of Oakland is standing up against any federation immigration enforcement in its city.

She says she wants to send a clear message to the country: that Oakland is united, prepared and resolute.

Mayor Lee said, "The federal administration of course has escalated its rhetoric and its enforcement posture in the Bay Area. We know that border patrol agents are being stationed on Coast Guard Island. But let me be clear - our city, as I said, we are fully prepared. We're monitoring developments closely and we'll keep our residents informed if there are any confirmed changes.

Oakland is and will continue to be a welcome city for our immigrants and refugees, and our laws and values reflect that. The Oakland Police Department does not and will not assist with immigration and customs enforcement."

She added, "We will not let anyone bring or wreak havoc or turmoil in our city."
