Law Enforcement Opens Fire on Truck at Alameda ICE Protest, FBI Investigates

On October 23, 2025, law enforcement officers at the entrance to Coast Guard Base Alameda in California opened fire on a U-Haul truck that was driving erratically and reversed toward the officers, posing a direct threat to their safety. The incident occurred during protests against a federal immigration crackdown in the San Francisco Bay Area, which President Donald Trump later called off. Multiple verbal commands to stop the vehicle were ignored before officers discharged live rounds, striking the driver and reportedly injuring another bystander. The driver fled the scene but returned shortly after, parking the truck and walking away; he was later found at a hospital with a gunshot wound and is undergoing a mental health evaluation. The FBI is investigating the shooting, and no Coast Guard personnel were injured during the incident. Protesters had gathered at the base's entrance earlier that day, expressing opposition to the immigration enforcement actions.
