The union for San Francisco sheriff’s deputies reportedly is taking on Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi over the release of an illegal immigrant now charged with the murder of a young woman — filing a complaint that slams a department policy barring communication with federal agents.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the complaint links Kathryn Steinle’s murder to a March memo that prohibited deputies from giving information about prisoners to immigration agents. The grievance, according to the newspaper, said the policy “recklessly compromises the safety of sworn personnel, citizens, and those who merely come to visit the San Francisco area.”
Steinle’s killing, allegedly by illegal immigrant Francisco Sanchez, has prompted a round of finger-pointing in San Francisco, a so-called sanctuary city. Sanchez, who had a lengthy felony record and already had been deported five times, was turned over to San Francisco by the feds in March on an old, outstanding warrant — but the sheriff’s office freed him the next month. Federal immigration officials say they asked to be notified prior to his release, but they were not.
Mirkarimi, in defending the decision, has suggested he was following a 2013 city policy, which only allows certain violent offenders to be held for deportation.
But San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and others have said Mirkarimi’s department still could have contacted immigration officials.
“Do we need to educate somebody on how to pick up the phone?” Lee said, according to the Chronicle.
Sooner or later the folly in liberal policy rears it’s ugly head. More and more the people are noticing it and speaking up!
And this is San Francisco!
In an interoffice memo dated March 13, 2015 address “To All Personnel” Sheriff Mirkarimi instructed, “… that there shall be limited contact and communication with ICE representatives absent a court issued warrant, a signed court order, or other legal requirement authorizing ICE access.
SFSD staff shall not provide the following information or access to ICE representatives:
citizenship/immigration status of any inmate;
access to inmates in jail;
access to SFSD computers and/or databases;
SFSD logs;
booking and arrest documents;
release dates and times;
home or work contact information;
other non-public jail records or information”
For a PDF copy of the memo signed by Mirkarimi follow the “county/city” link in the TRUST Act and then under “San Francisco” the link click on “Restrictions on ICE Access Policy.”
The memo goes on to say what “public information” department personnel CAN divulge to ICE.

Jack, no one in that department could have picked up the phone without violating department, city/county policy and state law.
Doofus left-wing socialist liberal moron sanctuary city has some problems. Go figure.
Thank you note due to Calif. Democrats.
More Than Half of New CA Driver’s Licenses Go to Illegal Immigrants:
“Of the 759,000 total licenses the DMV has issued, 397,000–or 52 percent–have gone to [illegals].”
The surge in illegal licensing is the result of AB 60–a California law that went into effect at the beginning of the year. The law allows applicants to get a license by “only [proving] their identity and California residency, rather than their legal presence in the state.”
