San Francisco mayor Ed Lee drew a large crowd at City Hall Monday as he vowed that the city would remain a sanctuary for immigrants. The Mayor’s words may provide little comfort to California’s undocumented migrant workers, fearful of mass deportation under a Trump presidency. The president-elect said in an interview Sunday that he would deport 2-3 million immigrants with criminal records and has promised to eliminate federal funding for sanctuary cities across the country.
