Quote:As more information has been brought to light over Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf's decision to warn illegal immigrants about an upcoming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sweep, it turns out she was receiving help from an immigration rights group.

KPIX 5 reports hours before Schaaf sent her warning, she was consulting with Centro Legal de la Raza. The group sent her information on what employers should do in case ICE shows up to their place of work.

Schaaf also spoke with Father Stephan of St. Jarlath Catholic Church and Emma Paulino at Oakland Community Organizations.

Some businesses were given advanced warning before the mayor went public with her information. "Important Alert! Credible information ICE Raids in Oakland Sunday 2/25 and Monday 2/26,” their email stated. “This information comes directly from the Mayor.”
