SF jail to stop holding inmates for deportation
SF jail to stop holding inmates for deportation

SAN FRANCISCO—San Francisco's sheriff says he plans to stop cooperating with federal immigration officials and will start releasing illegal immigrants who have been jailed for minor offenses before they can be picked up for deportation.
Sheriff Michael Hennessey told the San Francisco Examiner he is making the change effective June 1 to comply with the city's sanctuary ordinance.
The law, which has caused tension between local and federal authorities, prohibits officials from assisting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in cases that do not involve felonies.
The city currently keeps low-level offenders ICE has identified as illegal immigrants through fingerprints until immigration officials collect them. The Examiner reports that 111 inmates were detained for deportation between last June and February.
ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice told the newspaper that Hennessey's decision was unfortunate.

Will this make SFO responsible if one of the illegal aliens they release later commits a violent act? Why are they allowed to do this in direct violation of federal law, but AZ gets sued for enforcing federal laws??

Mayor Lee to review Sheriff Michael Hennessey’s ICE policy
Mayor Ed Lee to review Sheriff Michael Hennessey’s policy on ICE

Examiner Staff Writer
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee has ordered a review of Sheriff Michael Hennessey’s new policy to let illegal immigrants who have committed low-level, nonviolent crimes free even if federal officials have requested them to be held.
Hennessey met with Lee Friday afternoon to explain in greater detail the new policy, which is set to go into effect June 1.
As it stands now, sheriff’s deputies hold low-level criminals until U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement picks them up. Once the new policy takes effect, however, sheriff’s deputies will release them from jail with a citation just as they would a U.S. citizen, even with an ICE hold.
Because Hennessey believed that it was not required by law to comply with those ICE holds, he felt that he needed to comply with San Francisco’s sanctuary ordinance instead, Lee said Friday.
