Oakland mayor says federal 'surge' called off for rest of Bay Area
"Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee said federal officials are no longer planning major immigration enforcement actions in the wider Bay Area."
""I spoke with Alameda County Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez, who confirmed through her communications with ICE that Border Patrol operations are cancelled for the greater Bay Area - which includes Oakland - at this time," Lee said in an emailed statement."
"In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said he would call off the 'surge' to the city but did not mention the wider Bay Area, ending his post with 'Stay Tuned!'."
Federal officials are no longer planning major immigration enforcement actions in the wider Bay Area. Alameda County communications with ICE indicate Border Patrol operations for the greater Bay Area — including Oakland — are cancelled at this time. The cancellation follows a separate announcement that a planned surge in San Francisco would be called off. The President's Truth Social post said he would call off the surge to the city, did not mention the wider Bay Area, and ended with 'Stay Tuned!'. The situation is a developing story and may receive further updates.
