Thread: Secure Communities to Start in SF on Tues

Secure Communities to Start in SF on Tues
By Jude Joffe-Block on Monday, May 31, 11:47am

Despite Sheriff Michael Hennessey's efforts to opt out, San Francisco will be joining the federal immigration enforcement program, Secure Communities, after all, on Tuesday.

California's Department of Justice already signed an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to allow the agency to review fingerprints collected in county jails to determine if those booked are in the country illegally. But it remains unclear whether an individual county can choose not to participate in the program once the state has made an agreement with ICE.

Last Tuesday, state Attorney General Jerry Brown weighed in and turned down a request Hennessey had made to block ICE from reviewing fingerprints from San Francisco's jail. In a letter, Brown wrote to Hennessey: “Because I think this program serves both public safety and the interest of justice, I am declining your request.â€

Hennessey has voiced disappointment with Brown's decision. He says Secure Communities violates San Francisco's sanctuary policy, which only allows local officials to report people’s immigration status to federal immigration authorities if they are an adult charged with or convicted of a felony.

Tough noogies, deal with it! Sanctuary policies violate federal law, why are they allowed to exist??

Exactly.

if the federal government would stop sending federal money to sanctuary cities, maybe thinking like this sheriff would change.

they are already violating federal law by being a sanctuary city

Hennessey is a die hard traitor and in bed with Pelosi the Beast, and Gaven "I will sleep with your wife too" Newsom. I knows these people and trust me even if they say they will comply...they will not comply. Just like President OBAMAnation saying he wants secure borders -- well the laws are there enforce them Husein...

Jamesw62 is correct -- no more money for cities that disobey federal laws -- like my "illegal cesspool" San Francisco.
