President Donald Trump has canceled a planned immigration enforcement operation in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Oakland, California, following local officials protests.
- Local officials in Oakland, California, announced that a planned immigration enforcement push by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was called off due to President Donald Trumps decision.
- The cancellation of the enforcement action came just a day after President Donald Trump stated he would not deploy additional federal officers to San Francisco.
- Congresswoman Barbara Lee and other local leaders had opposed the increased immigration enforcement, emphasizing community safety and the rights of residents in Alameda County, California.
Why It Matters
