Oakland mayor fires back at Trump after warning immigrants about raids
Clark Mindock New York

The mayor of Oakland is pushing back on President Donald Trump’s claims that she obstructed justice by warning undocumented immigrants of an impending federal raid.

Mayor Libby Schaaf, a Democrat, wrote in a weekend op-ed that it was her “duty” to warn immigrants about the raid, which was set to target around 1,000 people living in the Bay Area earlier this year.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has indicated that a tweet from the mayor prevented the arrest of as many as 800 people.

This chippie should be in jail.  She is aiding and abetting commission of felonies.  If the US would apply the laws we already have and jail those who assist illegals, we might not need a border wall.

So why the hell is she not?
