Original Date Announced
February 26, 2026The Federal Protective Service (FPS), which is part of DHS, cited and fined volunteers who observe and document ICE check-ins and arrests at the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building in San Diego. Citing 6 CFR § 139.30, which requires individuals on federal property to follow posted regulations and security directions, FPS officials characterized these observers as "loitering" and obstructing law-enforcement operations. This practice follows regulatory updates implemented in November 2025. While volunteers contend their presence is peaceful, FPS maintains that noncompliance with lawful commands is a criminal offense, triggering penalties that include fines up to $280.
