San Francisco cooperates with feds on immigration
2008-07-13
San Francisco, CA (AP) — Federal officials say San Francisco authorities have started turning over the names of juvenile offenders who may be in the U.S. illegally.
Forced to obey federal law. I'll bet that breaks their balls.
Officials say that the city given the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency the names of 10 immigrant offenders in juvenile custody, most of them being held for drug-related offenses. ICE officials say they are investigating whether the youths should be deported.
Amazing. SF is following the law? Wonder what Newsom's file contains ...
The move comes after Mayor Gavin Newsom reversed the city's 20-year-old policy of shielding young immigrant offenders from federal deportation under San Francisco's sanctuary city policy. His administration came under intense criticism after three teenage boys escaped from a San Bernardino County group home where they were placed by the city. The city also had been paying for free trips home for youth offenders rather than report them to federal officials.

#7  Apparently they are only doing this for offenders convicted of crimes. They have learned that it is cheaper to turn them over to the feds than to take care of them themselves. It's really about money. SF is still a "sanctuary city" and city employees are still instructed not to assist federal immigration officials in the course of their daily work.

Practically every restaurant and hotel in the city would close down if they were to crack down on illegals.

#3  Go tell it on the mountain! Let the people know what their government is doing. Their city is imprisoning young people for using drugs? Those children are just doing what comes naturally. And now the city is turning some of these nubile youth over to the mean. evil, nasty Feds? I feel a change coming on. It's time to go to city hall and clean house. It's time to restore San Francisco's basic freedoms. Their freedoms of drugs, sex and antiwar violence are being threatened. San Francisco life style is in danger of being suffocated by normalness.
