Oakland mayor consulted with illegal-immigration activists before tipping off ICE raid
Fox News ^ | March 16, 2018 | Adam Shaw

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who sparked national outrage when she undermined a federal immigration raid last month, worked with illegal-immigration activists before she warned the public about the raid-- a move that ICE said led to hundreds of illegals evading detention.

Schaaf took to Twitter to warn the public about the raid, and has stood by her decision despite a number of hardened criminals being caught -- and ICE officials warning that potentially hundreds of other criminals escaped as a consequence of the tipoff.

"It is Oakland’s legal right to be a sanctuary city and we have not broken any laws," Schaaf said in a statement last month. "We believe our community is safer when families stay together."

Her move sparked anger not just from ICE officials, but also the Trump administration. The Justice Department is currently conducting a review of Schaaf's actions.

“What happened in Oakland was a disgrace to our nation,” President Donald Trump said in California on Tuesday.

KPIX5 reports that Schaaf was in touch with Centro Legal de la Raza just hours before the announcement, giving her information on what employers should do in the case of an ICE raid.

That group, which did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News, is a nonprofit with a focus on providing legal services to those in the country illegally. It also appears to act as an advocacy group for illegal immigrants -- printing an “ICE Activity Hotline” on its website.

“”””When Little Jeffie wakes up from his nap - after Trump is out of office.”””

I think you misunderestimate him. As we speak, he is actively searching for the button on his typewriter that will allow him to write a sternly worded letter in ALL CAPS.

It’s great that this crap is exposed, but until someone is indicted...it’s all just a dog-n-pony.

Well, if this is "not breaking any laws" why is it "sanctuary?"



Yup, she is nuts.

A few pics without the phony smile, look into the eyes, she would turn on you in a blink.

Get used to it. Nothing will happen to this Mayor. The Trump organization is totally useless when it comes to law and order.

Just imagine if it were this easy for the South pre Civil War as it is for these seditious treasonous scum? Doing nothing in this case and others will have dire consequences. CIC and AG have the ball in their court.

Libby Schaaf has broken numerous federal laws, and needs to go to jail.

Over to you, Sessions.

Actually, it isn't. They shouldn't elect illiterate politicians.

and we have not broken any laws.

Well, not other than all the ones you broke.
