Pro-Palestinian protesters have shut down San Francisco's Bay Bridge to call for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas as President Joe Biden remains in the city.

The protesters blocked the westbound lanes on the bridge's eastern wing just before morning rush hour, which begins at 8 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol, which added that people are "being detained with vehicles being towed."

The Arab Resource and Organizing Center said the protest was to draw the Biden administration's focus to alleged war crimes occurring in Gaza, even as the president hosts cocktail parties in the liberal city.

"[The president] could end the genocide in #Gaza TODAY. Instead he’s using our tax $$ to pay for it and hosting cocktail parties in the SF Bay Area," the center posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Bay Area has shut down the Bay Bridge demanding CeasefireNOW. There is no business as usual."

“The westbound span of the SFOBB has been completely stopped due to people getting out of their cars to exercise their first amendment rights," the CHP said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.

"I can confirm that dispersal orders were given and people are actively being detained with vehicles being towed. Number of detainees and number of vehicles towed is unknown at this time. Criminal charges will be determined by the District Attorney’s office.”
