Oakland mayor fires back at Trump: ‘It’s my duty to protect my residents’

    Oakland mayor fires back at Trump: ‘It’s my duty to protect my residents’

    By Josh Delk - 05/19/18 09:25 AM EDT

    The mayor of Oakland, Calif., on Friday defended her intervention in immigration-related arrests that President Trump has called an obstruction of justice.

    In a weekend op-ed for The Washington Post, Mayor Libby Schaaf (D) claimed she was upholding her "duty" to her residents by warning illegal immigrants in the city of an incoming federal immigration raid in February.

    "As mayor, it’s my duty to protect my residents — especially when our most vulnerable are unjustly attacked. As a leader, it’s my duty to call out this administration’s anti-immigrant fearmongering for what it is: a racist lie," Schaaf wrote, also denying the "obstruction of justice" allegation.

Does she protect whites, Asians, and blacks the way she wants to protect Hispanics?  My daughter lives in Berkeley and I can tell you the answer is a resounding now. :tongue2:

"Residents" my ass.   You misspelled 'Citizens', Mrs. Mayor.

My son lives in Oakland and this mayor is full of shit.

In the past year his car has been broken into twice and he's had just about everything he couldn't bring into his apartment at night stolen.
