Appeals court rejects sanctuary policy lawsuit

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A state appeals court says San Francisco cannot be held responsible for the deaths of a father and two sons allegedly killed by a man who had been protected by the city's sanctuary policy.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the court ruled Monday that the city isn't liable for crimes committed by the alleged gunman, Edwin Ramos, who is a suspected illegal immigrant from El Salvador. The decision upholds a February 2010 court decision.

Police believe Ramos mistook Tony Bologna and his sons, Michael and Matthew, for gang members and then fatally shot them near their San Francisco home in June 2008.

Relatives say the victims might be alive if Ramos had been turned over to immigration authorities after earlier arrests when he was a juvenile.

I feel secure in my community! Sue ICE then!

What was the rationale of the court? On what rule or rules did they base this decision? Does anybody know where I can find our more?

Bottom line is we no longer have the right to petition our govt for redress of grievances.
