Oakland Mayor to Jeff Sessions: ‘How dare you vilify members of our community’
San Jose Mercury ^ | March 7, 2018 | David DeBolt and Tatiana Sanchez

Posted on 03/07/2018 6:10:18 PM PST by artichokegrower

Responding to accusations from U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions that she enabled more than 800 undocumented immigrants to avoid arrest last week, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf on Wednesday stood her ground, saying the government is targeting undocumented immigrants with no criminal records.

“My response to the attorney general’s statements … How dare you vilify members of our community,” Schaaf said during a press conference following the attorney general’s remarks.

She said less than half of the 232 people arrested in the latest Northern California ICE sweep last week had criminal records.


But what if one of those criminals had committed a crime against you or your family mayor?

They all should have criminal records. They committed a crime by illegally entering the US. She’s a moron.

Good grief - just arrest them already. And when the usual march by the usual suspects occur, you can arrest them too.

The rest were criminals with no records. They all entered our country or overstayed after a legal entry, so they all deserve to be deported for that crime.

It’s become apparent any idiot can get elected to office in California. Not a crowd one desires to be associated with. It’s no wonder Democrats rule this State.

So, maybe a hundred criminals or so, then, mayor? Do you care to make a guess as to how many additional criminals got away due to your warnings in advance of the raid?

Like the illegal that shot that woman on Fisherman’s Wharf? What next? She’ll defend people who rob stores? They’re doing the same illegal crimes that your “members of our community” have done when they came to your community illegally across our border.

hopefully Mr. Sessions will get beyond wasting everyone’s time with his lawsuit, and just do the obvious.. arrest her!

then, she will be in a different community (federal prison)
at long last

enough of her BS!

(like, saying only half the latest arrests were of people with criminal records.. anyone in this country illegally is criminal and needs to be rounded up and deported)...but anyway if half the group had additional criminal convictions already, for additional crimes in this country, that only serves to re-emphasize the wisdom, need to send them home!) her argument only weakens her pretense!

The traitorous San Jose Mercury news should be the first gang of leftist traitors in California to stand before the bench on charges of treason.

One day trial followed by a one day hanging.

"undocumented immigrants with no criminal records."

An oxymoron. Undocumented immigrants are here illegally. Hence they are criminals.

“the government is targeting undocumented immigrants with no criminal records”

The only reason they DON’T have,criminal records is people like the mayor provide them “sanctuary.” They are all criminals by virtue of being here illegally.

Just when you think a govt idiot cannot possibly say anything more stupid than the last thing they said, they outdo themselves!

Jeff...its okay. It’s not “how dare you” its “you are under arrest”. What a milquetoast.

Schaaf's "community": "Oakland has a crime rate of almost 20 violent crimes per 1,000 residents in 2013, about five times the state average and over double San Francisco's rate of 8.47 violent crimes per 1,000 people, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. This makes Oakland the most crime-ridden city in California, according to the FBI. It's also the second-most dangerous city in the country behind Detroit. Memphis and St. Louis follow at No. 3 and 4 respectively.": Oakland Is California's Most Crime-Ridden City: FBI

“Good grief - just arrest them already.”

But... but... he said, “How dare you?” It’s almost as good as making arrests. (I’m lying.)

Before Sessions arrested anybody he’d have to ask Rosenstein, “Mother, may I?”

Schaaf, Jerry Brown, and various other California officials are insurrectionists. Filing a lawsuit against them is not nearly enough. The case will wind its way through the courts for years. These officials need to be arrested by Federal marshals and tried in Federal courts ASAP.

You are correct they are criminals. That is irrefutable. But they do not have criminal RECORDS. The mayor is putting a,fine point on it. And SHE is the very reason they aren’t arrested and have the criminal records.

Sounds a lot like the Menendez brothers arguing they shouldn’t be held accountable for their heinous murders because they are orphans.

Unable to refute the charges of sedition and treason, how dare you deny them?

If the shoe fits...
