CA-Chief takes sides on sanctuary law
Chief takes sides on sanctuary law

Sunday, October 25, 2009
New Police Chief George Gascón agrees with Mayor Gavin Newsom that the Board of Supervisors' legislation changing San Francisco's sanctuary city policy must be ignored by law enforcement officers.
Last week, the board voted 8-2 to require that undocumented youths picked up on felony charges be turned over to federal authorities only after they're convicted - not when they're first arrested. Newsom, who doesn't have the votes to sustain a veto, says he's not abiding by the legislation because it breaks federal law.
The probation officers' union promptly joined Newsom in saying they too will ignore it. And now Gascón is onboard the eight-votes-be-damned bandwagon.
"I don't think the mayor has a choice," he told us. "Federal law is really clear on this issue. I think this is really unfortunate that it's gotten to where it has."
He pointed out the legislation wouldn't really affect his officers anyway. They make the arrests and bring the youths to juvenile hall, but it's the probation officers who determine whether to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Let me understand this. It matters not what the elected representatives of the populace decide, it matters more what the mayor thinks and what another councilman thinks when the vote was 8-2?
