FBI Searches Far-Left Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao’s Home
Federal law enforcement officials conducted a raid on the home of Oakland Mayor Sheng Tho, a Democrat, early Thursday. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the operation also targeted several properties linked to a significant local family that manages the city’s curbside recycling program through Cal Waste Solutions. The raids also involved the homes and business premises of David Duong and his son Andy Duong, who are respectively the president and CEO, and associated figures in the company. During the raids, agents were seen removing a variety of items including boxes of papers and large plastic tubs. The FBI confirmed the “court authorized law enforcement activity” but has not provided further details. Reports suggest the raids are part of a public corruption investigation involving Mayor Thao and her boyfriend, possibly also implicating the IRS and the U.S. Postal Service.
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.”
Investigative reporter Dan Noyes said that law enforcement sources told him the raid was part of a “public corruption investigation of Thao and her boyfriend.”
Noyes added that the investigation also reportedly involves the IRS and the U.S. Postal Service.

Coincidence — as I’m leaving Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao’s house after the FBI raid, I saw this truck from California Waste Solutions nearby. We also saw FBI at that company’s offices, and at Andy Duong’s home, whose family owns Cal Waste. You may recall that Duong funded Thao’s… pic.twitter.com/ffJWUfEPea

The news comes as multiple Democrats have found themselves caught up in federal criminal investigations in recent months, including Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), and Hunter Biden. Federal law enforcement officials have also seized devices from New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) and raided properties tied to George Soros-backed District Attorney Jody Owens.
