SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Firefighters are watching for flare-ups today after a two-alarm fire broke out last night in Oakland. The fire started at this commercial building at Stanford Avenue at Occidental Street before ten at night. You can see the flames in this video from Citizen App. The building appeared to be under construction. Nobody was hurt.
Oakland Airport officials say they did not know that ICE was chartering planes through Oakland to move detainees. Forty-three thousand undocumented immigrants were flown out, according to a recent report. ICE released a statement that said it discontinued the use of charter flights out of Oakland in October of 2018. The agency also said it does not share specific logistic details about detainee transfers. The PORT and the City of Oakland are now looking into whether these flights violated the city's sanctuary city policy.
