San Francisco Daily Brief: ICE Free Zones vote, nonprofit felony charges, BART Tube disruption, rain outlook
San Francisco, CA – February 25, 2026 – Supervisors OK ‘ICE Free Zones,’ a homeless-services ex-CEO is charged, and BART plus storm updates.
Top local developments
San Francisco supervisors unanimously approved an ‘ICE Free Zones’ ordinance that bars immigration enforcement activity on city property when it disrupts city operations or services. Supporters framed the move as a practical backstop to the city’s long-running sanctuary policies, aimed at limiting fear and disruption at public facilities.
Homeless-services nonprofit case heads to court
Prosecutors charged the former leader of a longtime San Francisco homeless-services nonprofit with multiple felonies tied to alleged misuse of public funds. Court filings and public statements say more than $1.2 million meant for services was diverted through undocumented withdrawals and self-payments over several years. The case is renewing calls for tighter oversight of city contractors and clearer audit trails for taxpayer-funded programs.
Transbay Tube disruption rattles weekend travel
BART temporarily halted service through the Transbay Tube Sunday evening after a communications problem, forcing trains to turn back on each side of the bay and pushing riders onto transbay bus options and a dedicated shuttle between downtown Oakland and San Francisco’s transit hub. Even short outages can cascade into long waits, so riders are being urged to check real-time alerts when crossing the bay.
Rain returns, then a midweek break
Forecasters said another round of rain is expected to move through the Bay Area, with San Francisco forecast to pick up roughly a half-inch to an inch in the wettest stretch before conditions dry out and warm up. Flooding concerns were described as limited, but drivers should still expect slick commutes and slower travel during heavier bursts.
