James Schwab former spokesman for immigration and customs enforcement in San Francisco resigned after the recent immigrant raid in the Bay Area. Schwab told the SF Chronicle that the Trump administration officials exaggerated the number of undocumented immigrants who avoided arrest after Oakland Mayor Bibby Schaaf tipped off the public days before the raid. ICE arrested 232 people were arrested in the sweep and the number could have been higher without the tip. The Director of ICE Thomas Homan stated that about 864 “criminal aliens” escaped arrest. Trump complained to the media that the round up could have been close to 1000 people. “Schaaf applauded Schwab’s decision.
“Our democracy depends on public servants who act with integrity and hold transparency in the highest regard,” the mayor said in a statement.
Sessions escalated the dispute last week by filing a lawsuit against the state of California over its so-called sanctuary cities― areas that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities”.
