Is Oakland, Cali Mayor Libby Shaaf on the threshold of obstruction of justice for doing what she did?

Was this an "irresponsible" tip-off about an illegal immigration raid, which allowed more than 800 "criminal aliens" to evade capture?

"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 with the very federal laws that ICE is sworn to uphold," he said ICE deputy director Thomas Homan.

He said 864 immigrants with criminal records "remain at large in the community and I have to believe that some of them were able to elude us thanks to the mayor's irresponsible decision".

"I am sharing this information publicly not to panic our residents but to protect them," said her news release.

"My priority is for the well-being and safety of all residents, particularly our most vulnerable."

This isn't her first row with Mr Homan.

“Unlike the politicians who attempt to undermine ICE’s critical mission, our officers will continue to fulfill their sworn duty to protect public safety.”- ICE Deputy Director Thomas Homan

Last month she told reporters she would be willing to go to jail to defend her city's policy...well, she just may get her wish??

864 II's with criminal records in all of Oakland....that's it? There are half a million illegals in the bay area.

Unless I'm mistaken, I'd guess that's the # they were targeting with the manpower they had. Not sure how that list of priority was created.

Kind of crazy that it isn't illegal to tip off criminals to impending raids. Seems like this lady could be obstructing justice with these shenanigans.

I'm not so sure she understands that playing chicken with the feds is often a losing proposition when federal law is on their side.

it suggests 864 still at large. Not sure how many were rounded up this time or in recent past

Think they caught 150+.

Bigger problem is, what message does this send throughout the country if this Mayor goes unpunished in some capacity? Again, these are 'criminal illegals'.

Where did it say this is all of the ones with criminal records? Just the number of the current batch.

Hell I dunno...lol...Think the articles have been potentially misleading, only 1/2 caught had 'convictions':

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf defends immigration raid tip-off - BBC News

Subtitle: Federal officials say a California mayor's "irresponsible" tip-off about an immigration raid allowed more than 800 "criminal aliens" to evade capture.


Then...

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents said they were nevertheless able to detain 150 people.

Half of those detained in Tuesday's raid had criminal 'convictions', according to Ice.

I can't wait until the mayor of Oakland gets arrested for obstruction of justice.

As far as most of the country feels about illegal immigrants (translated to "undocumented workers" for the idiots out west) I'm glad we're arresting law breakers.

Fair points. This article said 150 were caught, about half of everybody caught in this sweep had criminal records, so we're talking 1,000...

...if they left people off this "batch", why would they leave off criminals and go after others? Makes no sense.

2. Were the people doing the tipping off Russians?

From Fox:

“The Department of Justice is looking into whether Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf obstructed justice by warning Northern California residents of an impending raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).”
