Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee Brags About the Police in Her City Not Cooperating with ICE
‘We embrace all residents, including our immigrant communities’
EXCERPT:
LEE: “And I just happen to be Oakland’s first black woman mayor. (applause) Now, you all know the signs of authoritarianism cannot be ignored. As I want to just take a minute to thank California Democrats led by Governor Newsom. All right. And I want to thank Texas Democrats for standing strong. I was born in Texas. Proud Californian. Together, we are leading the fight to protect our democracy. Now, Donald Trump, you know, he trashed Oakland. He lied about us. But Oakland is not afraid. We embrace all residents, including our immigrant communities. Our police do not cooperate with ICE. We don’t.”
