Federal authorities on Thursday raided the home of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao. No further details were provided.
The federal agents conducted a search of a home owned by Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao early Thursday, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Abraham Simmons, spokesperson for the department, did not say who the target of the search warrant was and declined to comment further. The search of Thao's home on Maiden Lane also includes officers from the IRS as well as the U.S. Postal Service. Neither agency could be immediately reached for comment.
The search comes as Thao and Dist. Atty. Pamela Price are facing a recall election this November. The recall campaign is a response to increased crime and budgetary problems that have challenged city leaders. Also Thursday, FBI agents searched a house on View Crest Court in the Oakland hills but authorities did not say if the two search warrants were connected.
