ICE attacks Oakland mayor for warning residents about immigration sweeps; she stands by her actions

LOS ANGELES - The war of words between the Trump administration and officials in California over immigration intensified around federal sweeps in the north of the state that ended with more than 150 arrests.

Over the weekend, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf alerted residents that she had heard from multiple sources that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents would be conducting operations there imminently; she urged those in the country illegally to take precautions.

Oakland, like many California cities, has declared itself a sanctuary for those here illegally, and officials there have vowed to fight President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

Schaaf has been praised and condemned for giving residents advance notice.

while he was gardening in Napa Valley the other day. I want the fucking moron to follow through on his promise to "punish" the state for not supporting his immigration plans and declaring it a Sanctuary State by pulling out all of the "protection" his immigration police are providing.

He will be in CA for the first time since he was not elected president in March. He is visiting the construction of his wall in San Diego at the US/Mexican Border and I will be there with my Resistance pals!
