ICE Nabs 150 Immigrants as 800 Others Escape Arrest after Mayor’s Warning
(AP) A federal immigration official says about 800 people living in Northern California were able to avoid arrest because of a warning by Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf.
Thomas Homan, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief, told "Fox and Friends" Wednesday that what Schaaf did was "no better than a gang lookout yelling 'police' when a police cruiser comes in the neighborhood."
Homan says the Justice Department is looking into whether Schaaf obstructed justice. He said Schaaf's actions have made residents less safe.
The mayor warned residents Saturday night of large-scale raids by immigration agents in the San Francisco Bay Area.
ICE said on Tuesday that agents arrested more than 150 people in California after the mayor's warning in a sweep that covered cities from Sacramento to Stockton in the Central Valley.

Do not worry guys. There is going to come a time when migrating to the USA will not be a thing to look forward to. But l am glad l was able to enjoy the opportunity to. But you know what, when it comes to ICE, my skin color does not automatically make me a “target”, as is with police. ICEs are mainly (not solely) anti Hispanics. Sad. Meanwhile, mimi najipanga tu, wakinipata, .....a free air ticket to Jamhuri. I tell all the likes of me (maratathiless) tujusort. Yumbukaga na kiria imeretie.
That time will not come, it's already here....yesterday. I like that last sentence, 'yumbukaga na kiria imeretie'...dot.dot.dot.. na I hope nikumeria wega biu...tondu guku gwitu mbia yahitia mukwa iria kiondo giothe, ti nganango tu..... Mwathani e mbere!

Umuthi ni wacira mKenya wa biu.
@Mkenya Halisi- It's not worthy telling people that they have brains and don't think. This is not fun! If you can't sympathize with people, at least don't hurt them by your words. Some people I don't know where they keep their empathy. Can you put yourself in these people's shoes?
Oops, today you are not telling us how we should invest kwa ka-ploti Kenya. Wonders!!
@karinga yaani wewe hunibeba waana 💪💪
@sisty yes we have eyes n we don’t see n we have ears n we don’t hear?Pple r full of fear which has put them in awkward situations juu we majority of the pple don’t want to try or take risks n human beings Wr created to try our best without much fear!Listen Canada has bin a fredlier country but our pple in the states who especially have done nursing have refused to move there but have chosen to remain illegally in USA n yet when they hear ICE they start to wet their pants with fear?U can move to Canada get the permanent residence become citizen n after 5/6 years u can move back to USA if u really live the place!!!Thats my point!I know 4 couples who moved to Canada same way after bin illegally in USA for 8 yrs could go to kenya But after moving to Canada they go to kenya as they like n they visit USA for holidays!!!So tuwache mafeelings when we told the truth n when we given advice.
There's nothing as insensitive and irritating as 'persistent' UNSOUGHT advice...unless it's a doctor's office, and even they don't persist...your life your choice. Glad life has no Manual...how boring life would be if we all had to follow the same steps to get some place.
