Oakland mayor says federal immigration enforcement 'surge' called off for entire region - Local News Matters

Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee confirmed the cancellation of federal immigration enforcement operations in the greater Bay Area. This announcement followed the arrival of federal agents on Coast Guard Island, which raised concerns about potential enforcement sweeps. Protests erupted as demonstrators blocked access to the base in response to the federal presence. President Trump canceled similar plans for San Francisco after receiving input from local leaders, including Mayor Daniel Lurie. Tensions escalated dramatically when a driver approached armed personnel and was shot at by Coast Guard guards.

The FBI is investigating the shooting incident, which left a protester injured. A GoFundMe page has been created to cover medical expenses for the injured individual, who is currently hospitalized in serious condition. This cancellation reflects broader national discussions about immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, which has seen increased federal presence in various cities across the country.
