tl; dr: 1. ICE [Immigration Control] planned to raid Oakland for illegal immigrants. 2. Somehow, Oakland's mayor found out and warned the community (Oakland, SF, and California are very pro-immigrant). This obviously gave opportunity for some immigrants to elude the raid. 3. Feeling undermined, Jeff sessions claimed that "ICE failed to make 800 arrests" because of the mayor's statement. 4. James Schwab, who this article is about, identifies that as an outright lie, because "We ended up arresting 232, which is 16 percent higher than our highest estimates." Thus the 800 figure would be an outright fabrication. He was asked not to contradict this lie, and morally objected, resigned, and blew the moral whistle on the whole situation. 5. In the middle of the CBS interview, at his house, some very intimidating DHS officers came by, unannounced, who seemed to suggest that Schwab had leaked the information to Oakland's mayor (which he cooly dismisses is entirely false and spurious). 6. The officers appear retreat once they realize they are on camera.
