ICE officials say Oakland mayor put lives at risk
Head of ICE's enforcement and removal blasts Mayor Libby Schaaf's decision to announce raids; Claudia Cowan rides along with federal immigration agents trying to enforce the law.
Federal immigration officials have arrested more than 150 individuals in violation of federal U.S. immigration law in Northern California this week despite the Oakland mayor warning of an impending raid.
U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made the arrests in the San Francisco Bay Area starting Sunday as part of “targeted immigration enforcement operations,” the agency told Fox News on Tuesday.
OAKLAND MAYOR WARNS OF IMPENDING ICE RAID, RAMPING UP SANCTUARY-CITY TENSION
Roughly half of those arrested by deportation officers have convictions for assault and battery, crimes against children, weapons charges and DUI, according to the agency.
ICE highlighted the arrest of one fugitive of the federal agency in particular, who officials stated is a documented gang member.

Armando Nuñez-Salgado, 38, of Mexico, was arrested Sunday as part of ICE’s widespread raid, spokesperson James Schwab, of the San Francisco bureau, told Fox News.
“Over the past 18 years [Nuñez-Salgado] has accumulated criminal convictions in California that have resulted in more than 15 years of prison sentencings,” Schwab said, adding the man “has been previously removed by ICE on four prior occasions” and is a member of the Sureño street gang.
Other arrests include that of another Sureños gang member and other illegal immigrants with criminal convictions from Mexico and Guatemala throughout Northern California.

The arrests come in the days after Libby Schaaf, the Democratic mayor of Oakland, posted a press release to Twitter warning constituents in the sanctuary city that “multiple credible sources” told her ICE would be conducting a raid in the Bay Area as soon as Sunday.
Schaaf received swift backlash following her post, with many arguing over the legality of such a warning.

ICE director talks stepping up enforcement in California
"The Oakland mayor’s decision to publicize her suspicions about ICE operations further increased that risk for my officers and alerted criminal aliens — making clear that this reckless decision was based on her political agenda,” ICE Deputy Director Thomas Homan said in a statement Tuesday. “Unlike the politicians who attempt to undermine ICE’s critical mission, our officers will continue to fulfill their sworn duty to protect public safety.”
However, the mayor stood by her decision, saying she felt as though it was her "duty" to share the information. ICE officials told Fox News they're asking the Department of Justice to look into whether Schaaf broke any laws by giving the warning.
Further details of ICE's immediate activities in the Bay Area remain unclear, although the agency says 864 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions and other public safety threats "remain at large" in the area — two of whom are believed to be living in Oakland.
Homan believes Schaaf's warning aided those illegal immigrants in eluding law enforcement.

ICE should hit Oakland especially hard because of what this mayor did, as a warning to others who even think of doing the same thing, until every single last illegal is driven out of Oakland and arrested and deported. ICE needs to send a harsh message in response to this warning.

ICE Arrests 150 Illegal Aliens in California, Blasts Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf
by JOEL B. POLLAK
27 Feb 2018
Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials arrested more than 150 illegal aliens in the Central Valley and Northern California — and have blasted Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf for alerting the public beforehand.
The operation was called “Keep Safe,” SFGate.com reported, and bore –perhaps coincidentally — the same initials as Kate Steinle, the 32-year-old woman who was killed by an illegal alien on a pier in San Francisco in July 2015.
Mayor Schaaf had warned Saturday that there might be ICE raids in the area. “Earlier today, I learned from multiple credible sources that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is preparing to conduct an operation in the Bay Area, including Oakland, starting as soon as within the next 24 hours,” Schaaf told the local news media.
On Monday, immigrant advocacy groups and even fellow Democrats criticized Schaaf for causing panic. The initial surprise of her warning “turned to confusion and anger as large-scale immigration sweeps did not materialize,” the Los Angeles Times reported. Instead, ICE agents focused on specific targets, half of whom had criminal convictions.
Then, on Tuesday, federal officials told SFGate.com that “Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf’s decision to alert the public to the secret operation may have allowed some targets to elude capture” during the sweep.
In statement Tuesday reported by SFGate.com, Acting Director of ICE Thomas Homan said: ” “Sanctuary jurisdictions like San Francisco and Oakland shield dangerous criminal aliens from federal law enforcement at the expense of public safety. … Because these jurisdictions prevent ICE from arresting criminal aliens in the secure confines of a jail, they also force ICE officers to make more arrests out in the community, which poses increased risks for law enforcement and the public.”

Until this sanctuary city mess is resolved, ICE just needs to keep doing what they're doing, ramp it up every way you can, and keep the pressure on these illegal aliens and all the crooked politicians on the take with the cartels behind illegal immigration.
