WILD. More people need to know about this!!
"In August, FEMA’s Transportation Security Grant program invited transit agencies to apply for large grants to help protect the public from “acts of terrorism.” But there were strings attached.
Grant recipients would be required to engage in “information sharing and collaboration” with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from program grantees. As The Oaklandside reported last month, AC Transit staff had recommended applying for the funds to cover overtime costs for security provided by the Alameda County Sheriff, but withdrew those plans after pressure from advocates and public officials.
But at least two major Bay Area transit agencies applied for the funds, The Oaklandside has learned.
BART, or Bay Area Rapid Transit, was one; SFMTA, the San Francisco Municipal Transit Authority, which runs Muni, was the other."
