Early Thursday morning, federal authorities conducted a raid on a home owned by Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao as part of an ongoing investigation in California. The FBI agents were seen carrying boxes out of the four-bedroom residence located at 80 Maiden Lane, which is linked to the first-term mayor according to property records.
The FBI released a statement confirming the law enforcement activity at Maiden Lane but declined to provide further details at this time. In addition to Mayor Thao's home, searches were also carried out at two other residences about three miles south, owned by members of the Duong family who are associated with the recycling company Cal Waste Solutions.
