Federal immigration enforcement surge is now paused in East Bay too, Oakland mayor says

A planned increase in federal immigration enforcement in the Bay Area is now on pause throughout the region and in major East Bay cities, not just in San Francisco, Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee said Friday.

Lee said in a statement that Alameda County Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez had “confirmed through her communications” with federal immigration officials that the planned operations were “canceled for the greater Bay Area — which includes Oakland — at this time.”
