OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)
A top immigration official said Wednesday that about 800 people living illegally in Northern California were able to avoid arrest because of a weekend warning that Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf put on Twitter.
"What she did is no better than a gang lookout yelling 'police' when a police cruiser comes in the neighborhood, except she did it to a whole community," Thomas Homan, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting chief, told "Fox and Friends."
The mayor warned residents over the weekend of large-scale, impending raids by immigration agents in the San Francisco Bay Area, escalating tensions between California officials and the Trump administration.
Homan said the Justice Department is looking into whether Schaaf obstructed justice and said her actions allowed immigrants who have committed crimes to remain in Oakland, making the community less safe.
"I just can't believe it happened," he said.
Federal immigration agents arrested more than 150 people in California in the days after Schaaf's warning of the raids, the agency announced Tuesday.

And she still wont win reelection.
Duhhh!
“If anyone is killed from these 800,
the mayor should be taken to Guantanamo
and tried by military justice.”
Justification: Enemy Combatant.
“If anyone is killed from these 800,
the mayor should be taken to Guantanamo
and tried by military justice.”
Better yet: As a spy.
And Jeff Sessions will investigate but not prosecute. 100% certain.
That is a game I would play.
ARREST HER
I vote to warn Libby and her friends in Oakland City Hall just about the time that ICE hits that building to make sure everyone working there is legal. My guess is that there could be a few frog marches down the steps of that building alone.
When will people wake up that sanctuary cities and sanctuary states are their elected politicians telling them "F**K YOU! I care more about the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT than I do you!"
The could shoot a few fakes at them, too.
Hoping and praying for an obstruction warrant. U.S. Marshall’s be scooping up the Mayor. Makes me giggle!
Michael Savage was on a tangent today about this horrible woman. Hope she faces the music and I doubly hope this will be just a start.
If ICE must give notice, then give the notice and fail to appear. Wait a week or so and do it again. Let little Comrade Mayor keep calling wolf. At some point after 10 or 15 false calls, actually pull the raids.
800 more illegal aliens who’ll be voting for the next Democrat.
Why does ICE have to tell any city official???
In normal police procedures you would contact the locals ands they may provide assistance or watch your backs. Now ICE has to increase their own officers because California cops have been ordered to not cooperate.
Lock her up ...
This woman is a Democrat. They are above the law.
Democrats have control over the judiciary and the media..they can break laws with impunity, refuse to charge their friends, they can set up their political enemies for a crime, their judges and prosecutors can bankrupt Republicans to their hearts content. And their IRS is now a political weapon.
It will only get worse as time goes on if someone with the power doesn’t make a move to stop them.
Since the local government undermines you, no more advance notification. In addition, find out if city government employs illegals. Then, start raiding city hall looking for them. If you find any, apply the criminal law that applies to employers who hire illegals.
