So the headline is misleading. It seems like oakland made their records available to state agencies like CHP, and one of those agencies queried the records and shared the query results with federal agencies.
And the article doesn't specify which results were shared.
So it's clear Oakland didn't violate the law, and there is reasonable doubt that the other agencies didn't violate the law either.
Judgements come from judges, not journalists.
"I posted the answer key openly in the hallway, how could I possibly know people would use this to cheat on their homework!"
They are aware this is happening and are taking no action. They are as culpable as the other agencies.
That’s not what is happening here. They shared the records with state agencies legally. And the other agencies may have shared permissible results legally too
Sure, and as a teacher I can post my answer key out where others who are "legally" allowed access can view them.
They are sharing the records with the knowledge that they are being sent to ICE. They could choose to stop sharing the records, but have not. They are culpable in the moral failure.

About as "legal" as the domestic spying workaround from Five Eyes.
