Guess Who Oakland’s Mayor Was Talking To Before Tipping Off Illegal Aliens To ICE Raid

Hot Air  . . . "In emails we obtained through a public records request, we didn’t find out who her sources were, but we do know who she was talking to before she made her big announcement.

"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.
"Those contacts don’t appear to be random. This report shows that more than one year ago St. Jarlath Catholic Church was working with Centro Legal de la Raza, hosting workshops for illegal aliens where they learned how to prepare for deportation efforts. As for Oakland Community Organizations, their primary focus appears to be supporting sanctuary state policies and obstructing ICE.


"The Mayor was also apparently in indirect contact with the Oakland Indie Alliance, a coalition of local, independent businesses. CBS reports that the group received a frantic message in the hours before the Mayor’s announcement saying, “Important Alert! Credible information ICE Raids in Oakland Sunday 2/25 and Monday 2/26” and “This information comes directly from the Mayor.” Given that this is a group of employers who are in the same communications loop with the Mayor and the aforementioned supporters of illegal aliens, it doesn’t require much detective work to figure that part out." . . .
