A San Francisco bakery is facing online backlash after selling cookies with messages denouncing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Devil’s Teeth Baking Company began selling shortbread cookies iced with the phrase “F— ICE” at its three locations in the blue city this week, following recent agent-involved shootings and escalating unrest in Minnesota, according to FOX 2 San Francisco.
Owner Hilary Passman reported that the bakery has sold around 300 cookies daily at a price of $3.50 each, with proceeds going to the Minnesota Community Action Network, a coalition of over 1,000 anti-poverty advocacy groups, as noted by FOX 2.

“I don’t think anybody should be murdered in broad daylight. I don’t think these anti-immigration sweeps should be happening,” Passman told FOX 2. “I just think it’s all pretty terrible.”
The business said the cookies have received mostly positive feedback from customers, although the campaign has also sparked criticism online.
Some commenters have labeled the message “totally ignorant,” arguing that ICE is “doing the job that the law requires,” according to FOX 2.
Despite the backlash, Passman remains undeterred. “I don’t care, everyone’s allowed to have their opinions, and I’m allowed to have mine and mine is ‘F— ICE,’” she stated, emphasizing her commitment to continue selling the cookies. “We’re going to keep doing this as long as ICE is killing people,” she added.
Regular customer Whitney Spence expressed her support, stating she visited the bakery as soon as she heard about the fundraiser, describing the cookie as tasting “like democracy.”
This controversy arises amid rising tensions in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a Department of Veterans Affairs ICU nurse, who was killed by Border Patrol agents while documenting federal immigration enforcement operations in the city.

Two U.S. Customs and Border Protection/Border Patrol agents involved in the deadly confrontation with Alex Pretti have been placed on administrative leave, a standard procedure that the Department of Homeland Security clarified should not imply any wrongdoing.
Devil’s Teeth Baking Company did not immediately respond to FOX Business’ request for comment.
