BREAKING NEWS – Oakland, California – A sweep of Northern California by federal immigration officials, which was partly thwarted when Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf sounded the alarm, nabbed a number of illegal immigrants convicted of a variety of serious and violent crimes. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials announced this week that the four-day raid led to the arrest of 232 illegal immigrants in the San Francisco Bay Area. The numbers might have been greater, but for the intervention of Schaaf, who tweeted out a warning of the impending raid, tipping off others who might have been caught. She responded by tweeting, “The word ‘violent’ is subjective. If a victim ‘survives’ an assault from someone who in this country illegally, in my view, that’s not too violent. And even if the victim sustains a serious injury, Oakland has plenty of top rated hospitals, and some of the most beautiful cemeteries in America.”
