The needless and preventable death of Kate Steinle, shot by an illegal alien, who the San Francisco Sheriff's Dept released from jail (despite request from ICE to hold him), should never have happened. It happened because San Francisco considers itself a sanctuary city, where illegal aliens are protected from ICE, and not held in custody, until ICE could come and pick them pick them up.
ICE issued a detainer for Francisco Sanchez, the killer of Steinle, last March, requesting San Francisco County to keep Sanchez in custody. The county refused the request and deliberately let Sanchez go free. What's really infuriating about this is that the SF people seem to be acting like all this is OK. Here's what Freya Horne, lawyer for the sheriff's office, said >>
"Federal detention orders are not a legal basis to hold someone, so Sanchez was released April 15. San Francisco is a sanctuary city, and local money cannot be spent to cooperate with federal immigration law.The city does not turn over people who are in the country illegally unless there's an active warrant for their arrest. They checked and found none. ICE could have issued an active warrant if they wanted the city to keep him. It's not legal to hold someone on a request to detain. This is not just us. This is a widely adopted position."
I'm not clear on this. Is Horne saying it is ILLEGAL to keep this creep in custody, or just not legally required to do so (but the jail could keep him if they chose to) ? Perhaps a California attorney could chime in here with a clarification.
Hard to believe that in 2015, after all that has gone on, (thousands of Americans killed by illegal aliens), this kind of shit is actually being tolerated. Sanctuary city practice needs to be outlawed in every square foot of the USA. These people who are perpetrating this sanctuary city crap, need to be identified as the traitors to the American people that they are, and held accountable for it.
