The FBI raid came after Oakland residents received enough signatures to force a recall measure on the November ballot.
A group called Oakland United to Recall Sheng Thao (OUST) stated that it has received 40,595 signatures in support of a recall effort to replace Thao.
Only 25,000 signatures are needed to force a recall election.
OUST stated they started the recall effort after crime “has gotten worse” with Thao as mayor.
