FBI agents raided a home tied to Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao on Thursday morning, although it was not immediately what they were looking for.
The FBI would not directly confirm what they were investigating on Maiden Lane. Thao listed the Maiden Lane address on her public campaign election forms."The FBI is conducting court authorized law enforcement activity on Maiden Lane. We are unable to provide additional information at this time," the department said.Agents were seen coming in and out of the home, wearing gloves and displaying their badges.
"I looked out the window and saw multiple federal vehicles moving into the driveway, agents gloved up going in and out of the residence. So I recognized it was a significantly different situation than what I had earlier thought," said neighbor Nina Medina.Thao has been criticized for mismanaging the city, but she has never faced any criminal allegations. She will likely face a recall election in November.
