Oakland Mayor to Jeff Sessions: ‘How dare you vilify members of our community’
San Jose Mercury ^ | March 7, 2018 | David DeBolt and Tatiana Sanchez

Responding to accusations from U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions that she enabled more than 800 undocumented immigrants to avoid arrest last week, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf on Wednesday stood her ground, saying the government is targeting undocumented immigrants with no criminal records.

“My response to the attorney general’s statements … How dare you vilify members of our community,” Schaaf said during a press conference following the attorney general’s remarks.

hopefully Mr. Sessions will get beyond wasting everyone’s time with his lawsuit, and just do the obvious.. arrest her!

Great idea except for the fly in the ointment...
where would you try her?

Berkeley??

Folks,

The reason all these CA politicians talk so tough is because their constituency would publicly crucify them (literally) if they did not.

The simply HAVE to to remain in CA politics.

But their postured bravery will immediately evaporate when the first one is perp walked on the TV.

Each and every one of them will STFU.

These white establishment lefty Dems seem to think they can lock in their power by building this future (and present) illegal voter base. Keep it up!! I don’t care! YOU CANNOT SELL OUT OUR COUNTRY BEFORE YOU SELL OUT YOUR OWN DESPICABLE PARTY. Just you wait and see. Enjoy!

If AG Keebler Elf wakes up, we might even get to enjoy seeing the leaders and members of the Oakland community tried, convicted, sentenced, and publicly hanged

Illegally entering the country and working under the table or with forged or false documents is a crime!!!! No matter how nice the people are, this is insane. There are a billion Chinese, if 1.5 M of them could arrive en masse tomorrow illegally from China to Oakland what would she say then? I am sick of this DACA and Democratic lawlessness.

Sessions may have been on the fence as to whether or not to bring charges against this woman. She may have just helped him make up his mind.

A villain can't be vilified when they simply already are one.

No, not any idiot. Being an idiot is a PREREQUISITE for California office. The inmates have run the asylum for going on 4 decades.
