\u201cHe has targeted certain cities, he has talked about certain cities, including Oakland, and so we have to be prepared, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n

Some parts of the plan, she said, are already in place and on the city\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the mayor\u2019s office pointed to a web page on immigrant rights and resources in Oakland<\/a>. The site includes details about Oakland\u2019s policies as a sanctuary city and \u201cknow your rights\u201d information.<\/p>\n

The California Attorney General\u2019s office declined to comment on, or even confirm, any discussions with Oakland officials, but said the office is \u201ccommitted to holding President Trump and his administration accountable for overreaching their authority under the law and infringing on Californians\u2019 constitutional rights. We\u2019ll continue to monitor any federalization and deployment of National Guard troops closely.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security announced a new immigration enforcement operation on Monday in Chicago as part of the Trump administration\u2019s effort to target sanctuary policies.<\/p>\n

Lee said Oakland does not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and that the city will protect its immigrant communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a unified effort, we\u2019re going to make sure that we circle the wagons with our immigrant community,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n

Lee also urged residents who choose to protest to do so peacefully. Demonstrations that turn violent, Lee said, could give the federal government a pretext to intervene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re waiting for chaos as they did in Los Angeles, so then they can say it\u2019s an emergency, we have to send the National Guard in,\u201d Lee said. \u201cWe cannot allow Donald Trump to send in troops to provoke chaos. And that is part of his playbook, so then he can send in troops and conduct massive ICE raids.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we have to maintain our unified posture and make sure we protect everybody. Safe, secure, keep the peace and push back and resist what is taking place,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
