In February 2018, Oakland's then-mayor Libby Schaaf warned residents about a planned ICE raid targeting undocumented immigrants, leading to a national debate. President Trump condemned her actions, labeling them a 'disgrace' and implying possible legal repercussions for her. Schaaf defended her decision, asserting that she simply aimed to inform the community about their rights amidst the raid. Despite facing potential legal challenges, including an investigation by the DOJ, Schaaf remained resolute, stating she would repeat her actions if necessary to protect her community.
Schaaf stated, 'I would do it again today,' emphasizing her intent to inform the community about their rights without advising any unlawful action.
Trump accused Schaaf of obstruction, suggesting that elected leaders could face criminal liability for hindering immigration enforcement.
