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.

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.
