Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf’s warning that U.S. immigration officers were preparing to conduct a major enforcement operation in the Bay Area as soon as Sunday put advocates for immigrants on alert and heightened the tension between federal and local authorities over California’s limited cooperation with deportation efforts. On Saturday evening, Schaaf said she learned “from multiple credible sources” that the operation was planned “starting as soon as within the next 24 hours.” The Chronicle reported in mid-January that federal officials were preparing for a big Northern California sweep designed to send a message that immigration policy will be enforced in the sanctuary state.
