Federal law enforcement officials raided the home of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, a Democrat, on Thursday morning, according to reports and video of agents at the home.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that several other properties that were raided were “connected to a politically influential family that runs the city’s curbside recycling program.”
More than a dozen agents entered the home and removed a variety of items from the search, including paper boxes, clipboards, and large plastic tubs.
The report said that the other warrants were served at the homes of David Duong, the president and CEO of recycling company Cal Waste Solutions, his son Andy Duong, and their company offices.
“The FBI is conducting court authorized law enforcement activity on Maiden Lane,” the FBI said in a statement. “We are unable to provide additional information at this time.”
