"The first executive order signed by Lee will restrict federal immigration agents from using property owned or controlled by Oakland for processing, operations and ICE activities. This order closely mirrors legislation approved by Alameda County that bars federal immigration agents from using county property for enforcement activities."
"Lee's second order directs city departments for the possible deployment of federal personnel, U.S. military or National Guard. It creates an interdepartmental task force to coordinate a response plan, educate communities about their legal rights and review ways to report illegal acts by federal agents or soldiers."
""We are not going to allow our community to be used by the federal government. We are not going to allow chaos here in Oakland. We are not going to take the bait here in Oakland," Lee told the crowd to a round of applause."
Mayor Barbara Lee signed two executive orders to prepare and protect Oakland from possible deployment of the National Guard and federal immigration enforcement operations. The first order restricts federal immigration agents from using property owned or controlled by Oakland for processing, operations and ICE activities, mirroring Alameda County policy. The second order directs city departments to prepare for potential deployment of federal personnel or military forces and establishes an interdepartmental task force to coordinate response plans, educate communities about legal rights, and review ways to report illegal acts by federal agents or soldiers. The orders take effect immediately.
