Because he appointed most of the people currently on the Board of the Port of Oakland, and he’s not acting in his position as AG to prosecute those who restrict legal trade in the Port of Oakland.

We’re talking what? A matter of hours or days? For the AG to act on something like that would require a prolonged situation and he can’t be on call to take legal action at the flick of a switch. Eventually, the ship was unloaded:

OAKLAND, Calif.—Workers at the Port of Oakland are unloading an Israeli ship after demonstrators managed to postpone their work for 24 hours.

Protesters picketed at the Port of Oakland to prevent the incoming ship from being unloaded on Sunday. The dock’s day shift of longshoremen did not cross the picket line.

International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 10 business agent Frank Gaskin said workers began unloading the Israeli Zim Lines ship at 8:00 Monday morning.

The picketers were protesting Israel’s raid of a Gaza-bound international flotilla that left nine pro-Palestinian activists dead in May. Israel has eased the blockade under intense international pressure.

Oakland police said no demonstrators were arrested.

There you have it. 24 hours. I think it’s unreasonable to expect that he would have done anything about this. I also think trying to attach blame to him for having appointed Port of Oakland board members that would be subject to fact checking.
