While based in Los Angeles, then-owner Al Davis brought the Raiders. At the heart of the matter is Davis’ unhappiness with the outdated Coliseum. Not only does the facility have the smallest seating capacity in the NFL (53,286 since the team tarps off the third-deck seats), but the Raiders share it with the A’s, making it the only stadium in the country that still hosts both NFL and MLB games. For their part, Oakland officials are not willing to make the public open its wallets to appease Davis. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf released a letter Friday that she sent to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in which Fortress Investment Group — a San Francisco money ...

... immigration matters in recent years, but says this year that it is back in compliance with ICE policy. It, in turn, disputed the ICE report’s accuracy and said it couldn’t get any answers about why it was listed in the report from ICE or its parent agency, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security. So did ICE miss the memo, or are Las Vegas police still not fully cooperating. The answer to that question remained unclear Friday, with the next report on noncooperative jurisdictions expected in the coming days. ‘WORST OF THE WORST’. There are indications Las Vegas police may still be holding to ICE guidelines issued during President Barack Obama’s last term, called the Priority Enforcement Program (PEP), which categorized undocumented immigrants according to the severity of their alleged crimes and criminal records.
