OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- A home owned by Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao was raided by the FBI Thursday morning, a source tells ABC7 News.

A neighbor confirmed to ABC7 News that the FBI was in the Lincoln Highlands neighborhood in the Oakland Hills.

Security footage from another neighbor shows the FBI on the property.

The FBI provided this statement Thursday morning:

"The FBI is conducting court authorized law enforcement activity on Maiden Lane. We are unable to provide additional information at this time."

When I think of a town or a city that really has it all together, Oakland immediately comes to mind.

Said no one, ever, in the history of the world.

The A's were worth more than 20 times the salaries of these dei misfit gubbmint mooching employees that destroy everything they touch. Yet they let them go in favor of corruption and moron coddling. Hope it hurts real bad Oakland.

Someone get a copy of the warrant and look for the clause that “deadly force” is authorized.

I used to do that a few times a week in my police days. Never did any say that “deadly force” was authorized. Why? Because “deadly force” is always authorized when the law enforcement commits an action that could ‘kill or commit seriously bodily harm to someone’.

The Feds are given very broad, left and rights limits, on what ‘deadly force’ is.

The left and rights limits for local cops get closer and closer by the day.

You’re not wrong. But the owner of the A’s is a crook.

the corrupt commie Oakland politicians who’ve ruined the once-nice city
and the modern post-Obamaizzed EffBeeEye

deserve each other.
let them chase each other from one end of the slum to the other.

She's apparently being threatened with recall for firing the police chief and not hiring a new one yet, some five months later. Story is HERE.

Leftism pays; she lives in a very toney part of town, while consigning those in the poorer areas to the hell of public education, as former school district head lizard.

They (Oakland) have nothing to show for decades of baseball now. Because they would rather take care of the ones that refuse to take care of themselves. Even when the A's were good recently, no one would go because it's a complete shithole. It's a shithole because of democrat crooks, thieves, and incompetence.

Peak Oakland (and they were the warmup band for Frampton):

She is about to get the issue of her recall on the Nov. ballot. She is a product of ranked choise voting - Horrible mayor, but fits the long list of horrible (and crooked) Oakland Mayors.

The cops feel like they’re holier than Thao.

OWNED by the mayor. Doesn’t mean she lives there.

Didn’t know. So that’s like Maxine Watters who somehow lives in a far better mansion than the lowly constituents she rules over.

Her house and property are said to be valued at $4.5 million. One source says $3 million and another $10 million net worth.

Her 43rd Congressional District Median household income is $66,509 as of 2023.
