    San Francisco sued over alien sanctuary policy

    San Francisco Chronicle:


    A San Francisco illegal immigration opponent has sued the city's police chief and police commissioners for failing to comply with a state law that requires officers to tell federal authorities about all suspected noncitizens who are arrested on drug charges.

    Charles Fonseca, a 70-year-old Portola district resident who came to the United States from Nicaragua at the age of 9 and filed the lawsuit May 4, said he opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants, especially those who break the law after they get here.

    "It is absurd that drug addicts don't get deported," Fonseca said. "This country welcomes immigrants. The illegal ones should get in line."

    Fonseca's attorney David Klehm, who practices in Orange County and strongly opposes illegal immigration, filed similar suits against Los Angeles and San Jose in April. Police should take a more active role in rounding up illegal immigrants who break the law, he said.

    Under federal immigration law, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency can move to deport anyone who is not a citizen, including legal permanent residents, on the grounds of a conviction for an aggravated felony.

    The state law Klehm bases his complaint on requires police to report not only illegal immigrants but legal permanent residents and anyone else who is not a citizen who is suspected of a drug crime.

    Have you noticed that often the LEGAL immigrants are more patriotic than many of our natural born citizens?

    Suit demands San Francisco police report undocumented

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco Police Department is the latest California law enforcement agency to be sued for allegedly failing to report criminal suspects who might be in the United States illegally to immigration authorities.
    A lawsuit filed last week in Superior Court on behalf of San Francisco resident Charles Fonseca claims the SFPD does not alert U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement when they arrest undocumented immigrants for certain drug-related crimes, as is required by law.

    "The police can't decide they are going to enforce some laws and not others," said David Klehm, an Orange County lawyer who brought similar suits last month against the cities of San Jose and Los Angeles.

    Klehm said he assumed the SFPD ignores the state mandate that has been in effect since 1991 when the department failed to produce records he requested that would have shown it is adhering to the law.

    City officials, including Mayor Gavin Newsom, Police Chief Heather Fong and District Attorney Kamala Harris, also have been outspoken in condemning recent workplace and neighborhood sweeps by federal agents and proclaiming San Francisco's status as a sanctuary city for immigrants.

    San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said he expressed confidence in the city's ability to mount a successful defense against the lawsuit.

    "This is a cynical lawsuit that reflects the political aims of an anti-immigrant extremist, and I frankly think it's intended to win headlines rather than a favorable judgment," Herrera said.

    San Jose City Attorney Richard Doyle said the San Jose Police Department started complying with the state law on March 3, after Klehm raised the issue by requesting records but before he filed suit.

    Doyle said that while the requirement to communicate with federal authorities was noted in police procedures, officers were never given forms to fill out and send to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.


    "A lot of it is, it is the policy of the city not to work with immigration on raids," Doyle said. "You can see where the average officer on the street would get confused about what we are doing."
    Klehm said he brought the Los Angeles suit on behalf of unidentified police officers who were afraid to speak out but who think the LAPD's policy of not reporting illegal immigrants creates a situation where the same criminals are repeatedly arrested when they could have been deported.
