Oakland Mayor Received Over 1,000 ‘Angry Calls’ After Defying ICE
Breitbart ^ | 3-4-2018 | Joel B. Pollak

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf received over 1,000 “angry calls” in protest against her decision last weekend to warn illegal aliens of an impending raid by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. Schaaf — who told the Washington Post, “I definitely consider myself part of the resistance” — angered ICE officials, who made 232 arrests over several days but said that 800 illegal aliens evaded arrest due to her warning. Many of the illegal aliens targeted in the raid already had criminal convictions, according to ICE officials.

The East Bay Times reports:

The rough, subjective tally, as of Friday afternoon? Love her decision: 153. Hate it: 1,037.

The 1,190 calls, emails and voicemails, a few dozen of which were reviewed by this news agency, are another indication of how deeply Americans are divided on immigration. In a world in which anonymous comments flood social media, upset citizens will still sometimes pick up the phone. And while the angriest of them did not leave their name, others did and asked for a call back.

Like Debbie from Fresno and Fred from Illinois, who were polite in their criticism.

“I do not understand you protecting people who are not American citizens while you are abandoning the American citizens who put you in office,” Debbie said in a voicemail. “Why don’t you help the homeless instead? Clean up our streets, our country looks like an impoverished country in many ways.”

Thomas Homan, the acting director of ICE, said the Department of Justice is investigating Schaaf for obstruction of justice. In January, Schaaf vowed to go to jail to protect her city’s status as a “sanctuary city.”

So, the Mayor disobeys the law, which could (and has in other places) resulted in deaths to CITIZENS by ILLEGALS.

Folks, this calls for a bit more than angry calls.

Sorry, but that’s the way it is.

Either we put up with this, or we don’t.

I’ll leave it up to the hapless Oakland residents to do what they think necessary.

We’ll look the other way.

“The rough, subjective tally, as of Friday afternoon? Love her decision: 153. Hate it: 1,037.”

The 153 “likes” are probably part of the 800+ criminals that fled.

Cause at first he thought I was some offended snowflake, then I smacked him with some common sense in the form of sarcasm and he had to hang up

153 to 1037???

That's not deeply divided....that's a blowout.

Lock her up!

I would have used the term “illegal aliens” instead of “illegal immigrants”. That would have really triggered the snowflake. When dealing with the traitorous left, I aim to be as offensive as possible.

Well then why wouldn't you call them wetbacks?

I believe this is Oakland Mayor Ms. Libby Schaaf's, police chief.

Look at those stars! She's combat hardened.

Deeply divided is close to 50/50.

153 to 1,037 is not anywhere near deeply divided.

It’s a landslide for the sane Constitutional law-abiding portion of the populace.

Another example how women politicians have generally been horrible for law and order in this country.
