Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf tipped off immigrants about ICE raid and isn’t sorry she did
Washington Post ^ | Feb. 28, 2018 | Meagan Flynn

Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf is a frequent critic of Donald Trump. She warned the city of a possible raid by ICE on Jan. 25.

On Tuesday night, just after completing a roundup of more than 150 suspected undocumented immigrants, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it could have arrested more but for the actions of one person: Mayor Libby Schaaf of Oakland, Calif.

Schaaf learned of the Northern California ICE enforcement operation before it kicked off on Sunday and, in a controversial move, warned the immigrant community ahead of time.

On Saturday, saying she felt it was her moral and ethical duty, she stood in front of television cameras and announced that “multiple credible sources” had informed her that ICE would be making arrests across the Bay Area. She didn’t intend to panic the community, she said — only to protect it.

Isn’t interference with law enforcement action a crime?

Obstruction of justice. But Sessions won’t do anything. In fact, he hasn’t really done anything meaningful since taking AG gig. He’s just a puppet of the swamp.

Of course she’s not sorry. Why would she be? Sessions is far too busy being a dumbass to do anything about it.

Absolutely, but first we have to find someone willing to do it.

and who will arrest her? a year ago Kevin De (The de added to be more ethnic) Leon the president of the state senate admitted half of his family was illegal and he had helped them come and stay here. Many politicians not only flaunt the law, but break it and are complicit in illegal immigration, but Trump and Sessions think a few hundred in a raid is really doing something.

“Sessions is far too busy being a dumbass “

I think we are past that. It’s worse, much worse.

Do you think Jeff Sessions will do something about this?

Yeah, me neither.

Many politicians not only flaunt the law [...]

Indeed, many politicians flout the law.

These Lefty DemonRATs don’t want ICE to steal away their non-citizen voters. They would rather die having ICE peal these voters from their cold dead hands.

Seems like she wants to be re-elected. She is massively unpopular.

The other 49 states should flood Kalifornia with illegals. Send ‘em all there.

Or send them all to Canada. Free bus tickets for everyone and stop at Taco Bell on the drive for burritos.

Don’t arrest her, that will only enhance her profile in that Lawless state. Instead cut her off completely from the flow of information for future raids
