President Trump said it was “a disgrace” that Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf warned last month about federal agents’ planned immigration raids in the Bay Area.
“What the mayor of Oakland did the other day was a disgrace,” Trump said during wide-ranging remarks at the beginning of a Cabinet meeting on Thursday.
Trump said Schaaf’s alert to immigrants in the country illegally put law enforcement agents at risk. He again suggested that cities that don’t cooperate with federal immigration agents and their enforcement actions should be forced to forfeit federal funds.
Deadlocked with Congress on an immigration issue that both parties say they support, President Trump has gone on the attack, blaming Democrats and further dimming the chances of agreement before November’s elections to protect so-called Dreamers from deportation.
In a speech to Republican-friendly Latino business leaders on Wednesday, Trump said he wants to sign a law replacing the Obama-era program — Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA — to allow up to 1.8 million young immigrants who are in the country illegally to stay, get work permits, attend college or serve in the military. The problem, he said, is Democrats.
