**Advocates Unite in San Francisco to Protest ICE Arrests at Courthouses: A Comedy of Errors**
In a scene that could only be described as a cross between a protest and a flash mob, advocates gathered in San Francisco this week to protest ICE arrests at courthouses. Armed with signs that read “Justice is Not a Deportation Notice” and “We’d Rather Be at Brunch,” the crowd was determined to make their voices heard—mostly because they were tired of being ignored by their brunch reservations.
“Honestly, I thought we were just here for the free coffee,” said local activist and self-proclaimed latte artist, Maria “Cappuccino” Gonzalez. “But then I realized, wait, I can’t deport my avocado toast! That’s when I knew I had to stay.”
The protest featured a variety of colorful characters, including a man dressed as the Statue of Liberty who kept shouting, “Give me your tired, your poor, and your gluten-free pastries!” Meanwhile, a group of mime artists silently protested the lack of mime representation in immigration policy, which they claimed was a “real stretch.”
“I’m just here to support my friends,” said Bob “The Unemployed Clown” Johnson, who was juggling protest signs. “I mean, if ICE can arrest people at courthouses, what’s next? Arresting clowns at birthday parties? That’s just not right!”
As the day wore on, the crowd grew more creative. One protester, who identified himself as “The Ghost of Immigration Past,” floated around in a sheet, lamenting, “I used to haunt courthouses, but now I’m just haunting my own dreams of a better immigration system!”
In a surprising twist, the protest ended with a spontaneous dance-off, where advocates showcased their best moves to the tune of “I Will Survive.” “If we can’t change the system, at least we can change the dance floor,” declared activist and professional dancer, Tiffany “Two Left Feet” Martinez.
As the sun set over San Francisco, the crowd dispersed, leaving behind a trail of laughter, confusion, and a few stray avocado pits. “We may not have changed any laws today,” said Gonzalez, “but we definitely changed the brunch menu. And that’s a win in my book!”
