Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao Faces Calls to Resign After FBI Raid

Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao has been conspicuously absent following an FBI raid on her home and properties linked to the city's recycling contractor. The city is facing a budget deadline and recent violence at a Juneteenth celebration, but Thao has not made any public statements. City officials are uncertain about her next steps but remain confident in meeting the budget deadline. The mayor's silence has created a leadership vacuum during a critical time for Oakland.
