Bay Area Immigration Raids Canceled, Officials Say | JQJO

Federal officials said Friday the Trump administration canceled a planned surge of immigration enforcement across the Bay Area, not just San Francisco. DHS also dropped plans to bring staff from Los Angeles. Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, citing Alameda County Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez, confirmed the cancellation. The reversal followed agents staging at the Coast Guard base in Alameda, which drew more than 200 protesters, and Trump’s claim that tech executives persuaded him to call off the San Francisco deployment. Local leaders expressed cautious relief and urged vigilance.
