OAKLAND (KPIX 5) – Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf shocked the nation when she issued a tweet and press release on February 24 warning about impending ICE raids.
Schaaf refuses to say how she learned about the ICE raids, only saying it was not from official sources.
Emails reveal that hours before the announcement, a group called Centro Legal de la Raza sent the mayor information on what employers should do in case of an ICE raid.
Centro Legal is a non-profit that provides legal services to undocumented immigrants.
