The Police Department was \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/12/federal-review-of-sfpd-finds-major-faults-in-every-area-assessed/\" target=\"_blank\">under siege\u003c/a> for its handling of several high-profile police shooting cases and was without a permanent chief after \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/19/suhr-resigns-after-series-of-fatal-officer-involved-shootings/\" target=\"_blank\">Greg Suhr resigned\u003c/a> following the fatal officer-involved shooting of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/19/s-f-police-shoot-kill-woman-after-confrontation-in-bayview/\" target=\"_blank\">Jessica Williams\u003c/a> in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final determination came in September, when the mayor \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SF-DA-s-office-to-take-lead-in-investigating-9223676.php\" target=\"_blank\">approved funding\u003c/a> for a new Independent Investigations Bureau in the district attorney's office, which would take the lead in officer-involved shooting and in-custody death investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But more than five months later, that still hasn't happened. The last step toward implementation -- finalizing a memorandum of understanding between the DA's office and the Police Department -- has become the subject of negotiations with the Police Officers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s important in order to maintain public trust. And when police investigate themselves, even if they did everything correctly, the public is going to have less faith in the outcome,\" DA spokesman Max Szabo said. \"We are eagerly waiting for [negotiations] to be completed in order to sign the MOU and move forward and make this important change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://civilgrandjury.sfgov.org/2015_2016/2015-16_CGJ_Final_Report_Transparent_Investigations_Fatal_SFPD_Shootings_7_6_2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Criticism\u003c/a> over how the city handles police shooting cases hasn't landed only with the Police Department. The DA's office \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/SF-prosecutors-haven-t-made-a-decision-in-a-10816464.php\" target=\"_blank\">hasn't issued a charging decision\u003c/a> in a fatal police shooting -- the final phase in the investigation -- in about two years. Advocates around the shooting death of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/04/how-a-witness-to-fatal-s-f-police-shooting-of-amilcar-perez-lopez-came-forward/\" target=\"_blank\">Amilcar Perez Lopez\u003c/a> plan to mark the two-year anniversary of his death this Sunday, with no charging decision yet made.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"EqNCsIPPggWObDjA6EEpmSmXtBfMTaLg\"]\u003cbr>\nThat decision is coming in \"weeks, not months,\" Szabo said, but the DA's office has several times indicated that case would soon be finished in the two years since plainclothes officers \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/04/24/attorneys-autopsy-contradicts-s-f-police-account-of-mission-district-shooting/\" target=\"_blank\">shot Perez Lopez six times from behind\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Szabo said implementing the new Independent Investigations Bureau is \"essential\" in shortening the time it takes to issue a charging decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Until recently, we did not have the resources to handle these immensely difficult cases,\" he said. \"Prosecutors would be taken from other details who did not have experience and expertise in these types of complex investigations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Officers Association attorney Gregg Adam said negotiations over the issue are scheduled to start next week, and the union hasn't seen specifics of the new protocols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My client has some concept that the DA is going to take over these investigations, but the practical, how it’s going to work, we really don’t have any idea,\" Adam said. \"In 4½ months, the city hasn’t been able to produce much of anything by way of information for us to have any real idea as to how this is going to be handled, what the procedures are going to be, how it’s going to affect existing practices with how investigations occur, how it’s going to affect discipline. We’ve got a whole host of questions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An SFPD spokesman said \"the department is engaged in ongoing discussions with various entities\" over the new protocols, which were drafted in \"late 2016.\" The Police Department declined to provide a copy of the draft memorandum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Police Department and District Attorney's Office were still discussing the work of the DA's new unit as of Feb. 28, according to the city's Department of Human resources, which typically conducts labor negotiations on behalf of city departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the two departments reach an agreement that impacts the working conditions of POA members, meet and confer with POA will be necessary, but that hasn’t happened yet,\" Department of Human Resources Chief of Policy Susan Gard wrote in an emailed response. She added that meet and confer with the union representing DA investigators was completed earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To retired ACLU attorney John Crew, who currently advocates for police accountability in San Francisco, forcing that agreement into negotiations is a tried-and-true tactic the union has used to stall police reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think this is predictable because this is what the POA has been doing,\" he said. \"They have been extremely expansive in claiming they have the legal right to meet and confer on issues that they have no right to meet and confer on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He referenced two recent major SFPD policy changes that dragged on for months in the black hole of negotiations with the union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was no way that the body-camera policy needed to be stalled for six months. Same with use-of-force policy,\" Crew said. \"This is a political strategy to slow down and delay.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union and city \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/31/san-francisco-reaches-agreement-with-police-union-on-body-cameras/\" target=\"_blank\">reached agreement\u003c/a> on the body-camera policy, but the city \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/21/s-f-police-union-announces-breakdown-in-use-of-force-negotiations/\" target=\"_blank\">declared an impasse\u003c/a> in negotiations over the department's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/23/s-f-police-commission-approves-new-use-of-force-rules-union-has-sticking-points/\" target=\"_blank\">new use-of-force rules\u003c/a>, and immediately implemented them. The union sued, hoping to force the city to enter arbitration over the new policy's prohibition on the carotid -- or sleeper hold -- restraint, shooting at moving cars and the Police Commission's refusal to consider arming officers with Taser stun guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That civil case is ongoing, and it's scheduled for a hearing on Monday, Feb. 27.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Police Department was \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/12/federal-review-of-sfpd-finds-major-faults-in-every-area-assessed/\" target=\"_blank\">under siege\u003c/a> for its handling of several high-profile police shooting cases and was without a permanent chief after \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/19/suhr-resigns-after-series-of-fatal-officer-involved-shootings/\" target=\"_blank\">Greg Suhr resigned\u003c/a> following the fatal officer-involved shooting of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/19/s-f-police-shoot-kill-woman-after-confrontation-in-bayview/\" target=\"_blank\">Jessica Williams\u003c/a> in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final determination came in September, when the mayor \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SF-DA-s-office-to-take-lead-in-investigating-9223676.php\" target=\"_blank\">approved funding\u003c/a> for a new Independent Investigations Bureau in the district attorney's office, which would take the lead in officer-involved shooting and in-custody death investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But more than five months later, that still hasn't happened. The last step toward implementation -- finalizing a memorandum of understanding between the DA's office and the Police Department -- has become the subject of negotiations with the Police Officers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s important in order to maintain public trust. And when police investigate themselves, even if they did everything correctly, the public is going to have less faith in the outcome,\" DA spokesman Max Szabo said. \"We are eagerly waiting for [negotiations] to be completed in order to sign the MOU and move forward and make this important change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Advocates around the shooting death of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/04/how-a-witness-to-fatal-s-f-police-shooting-of-amilcar-perez-lopez-came-forward/\" target=\"_blank\">Amilcar Perez Lopez\u003c/a> plan to mark the two-year anniversary of his death this Sunday, with no charging decision yet made.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nThat decision is coming in \"weeks, not months,\" Szabo said, but the DA's office has several times indicated that case would soon be finished in the two years since plainclothes officers \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/04/24/attorneys-autopsy-contradicts-s-f-police-account-of-mission-district-shooting/\" target=\"_blank\">shot Perez Lopez six times from behind\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Szabo said implementing the new Independent Investigations Bureau is \"essential\" in shortening the time it takes to issue a charging decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Until recently, we did not have the resources to handle these immensely difficult cases,\" he said. \"Prosecutors would be taken from other details who did not have experience and expertise in these types of complex investigations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Officers Association attorney Gregg Adam said negotiations over the issue are scheduled to start next week, and the union hasn't seen specifics of the new protocols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My client has some concept that the DA is going to take over these investigations, but the practical, how it’s going to work, we really don’t have any idea,\" Adam said. \"In 4½ months, the city hasn’t been able to produce much of anything by way of information for us to have any real idea as to how this is going to be handled, what the procedures are going to be, how it’s going to affect existing practices with how investigations occur, how it’s going to affect discipline. We’ve got a whole host of questions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An SFPD spokesman said \"the department is engaged in ongoing discussions with various entities\" over the new protocols, which were drafted in \"late 2016.\" The Police Department declined to provide a copy of the draft memorandum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Police Department and District Attorney's Office were still discussing the work of the DA's new unit as of Feb. 28, according to the city's Department of Human resources, which typically conducts labor negotiations on behalf of city departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the two departments reach an agreement that impacts the working conditions of POA members, meet and confer with POA will be necessary, but that hasn’t happened yet,\" Department of Human Resources Chief of Policy Susan Gard wrote in an emailed response. She added that meet and confer with the union representing DA investigators was completed earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To retired ACLU attorney John Crew, who currently advocates for police accountability in San Francisco, forcing that agreement into negotiations is a tried-and-true tactic the union has used to stall police reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think this is predictable because this is what the POA has been doing,\" he said. \"They have been extremely expansive in claiming they have the legal right to meet and confer on issues that they have no right to meet and confer on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He referenced two recent major SFPD policy changes that dragged on for months in the black hole of negotiations with the union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was no way that the body-camera policy needed to be stalled for six months. Same with use-of-force policy,\" Crew said. \"This is a political strategy to slow down and delay.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union and city \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/31/san-francisco-reaches-agreement-with-police-union-on-body-cameras/\" target=\"_blank\">reached agreement\u003c/a> on the body-camera policy, but the city \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/21/s-f-police-union-announces-breakdown-in-use-of-force-negotiations/\" target=\"_blank\">declared an impasse\u003c/a> in negotiations over the department's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/23/s-f-police-commission-approves-new-use-of-force-rules-union-has-sticking-points/\" target=\"_blank\">new use-of-force rules\u003c/a>, and immediately implemented them. The union sued, hoping to force the city to enter arbitration over the new policy's prohibition on the carotid -- or sleeper hold -- restraint, shooting at moving cars and the Police Commission's refusal to consider arming officers with Taser stun guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That civil case is ongoing, and it's scheduled for a hearing on Monday, Feb. 27.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The operation was the culmination of a 5-year investigation which resulted in the arrest of 10 criminal organization members on federal criminal charges in Santa Cruz, Daly City, and Watsonville. Additionally, during the enforcement action, authorities encountered 11 illegal aliens at the operational locations who were detained initially on administrative immigration violations due to their association with suspected members of a transnational street gang. Ultimately, 10 of those individuals were released. One remains in agency custody at this time due to his criminal history and possible ties to the ongoing investigation. At no time during the operation were minors were left unattended at any of the enforcement locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several days prior to the operation, our Special Agent-in-Charge office notified the Santa Cruz Chief of Police that any non-targeted foreign nationals encountered during the enforcement actions at the search and arrest locations would be held briefly until determinations could be made about their identities and case histories.

According to Gulasekaram, this would allow the Department of Homeland Security to publicize any crimes committed by immigrants.

But Gulasekaram is concerned that DHS policy has been rewritten to provide a way around those protections. Specifically, he pointed to a lack of exemptions for enforcement, saying, “There’s nothing in here that guarantees that ICE agents can’t go after young people, people in school, et cetera.” For now at least, the memos do not specifically identify DACA recipients for deportation, though they indicate that further policy changes will be forthcoming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hiring Additional ICE Officers and Agents\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Johnson predicts that new regulations could be put in place in a matter of weeks, Gulasekaram says other directives will take longer to implement.

"content": "\u003cp>Inside the \u003ca href=\"http://www.aaccot.club/home.html\">Assyrian American Civic Club of Turlock\u003c/a> there’s a large banquet hall, a catering company and a radio station that broadcasts Assyrian music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The music that you’re hearing, this is the original language. We speak the modern Aramaic dialect,” says the club’s president, Sam David.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assyrians are some of the earliest Christians. They're indigenous to Mesopotamia, which is defined as the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, including much of modern-day Iraq. Assyrians also scattered to parts of modern-day Syria, Turkey, Lebanon and Iran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/02/2017-02-17c-tcrmag.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AssyriansMain-800x560.jpg\" Title=\"Long Persecuted, Assyrians Find Safe Haven in the Central Valley\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assyrians are a stateless nation, and the diaspora is huge. In California, Turlock has the largest number of Assyrians, about 20,000. That’s a quarter of the town. And the civic club has become a gathering place for everyone, not just Assyrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s the city’s community center,” says David. “The majority of events are here. We have a lot of quinceaneras, weddings ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And funeral receptions. Like the one in early February for 92-year-old Hank Adams, the first Assyrian born in Turlock. His father, the Rev. Isaac Adams, founded an Assyrian farming community here in 1911.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not long after, in Turkey, the Ottoman Empire waged \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncas.rutgers.edu/center-study-genocide-conflict-resolution-and-human-rights/genocide-ottoman-greeks-1914-1923\">genocide\u003c/a> against Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, the Assyrians are never talked about,” says David. “There were 750,000 Assyrians massacred. And this genocide has been going on and on for the last 100 years. And we just had another genocide in 2014, where the Christians were being massacred because they were Christians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David says Assyrians have been persecuted over and over again. It’s why some Assyrians are not opposed to President Trump’s travel ban that targets seven majority-Muslim countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s important for this country to protect its security interests, and for us as Assyrian-Americans it’s equally important, if not more important,\" says David.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he acknowledges it's complicated. The ban would also keep Assyrians out of the United States, at least temporarily. \"Of course we're not happy they're stuck there,” he says. “But it’s just another waiting process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community leader Carmen Morad says Assyrians continue to be \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/iraq-christians-persecuted-by-isis-60-minutes/\">persecuted\u003c/a> in Iraq and Syria by ISIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As you and I speak, there are Assyrian Christians that are in refugee camps. They are awaiting their resettlement paperwork to come,” she says. “Their homes have been destroyed. They are seeking an environment where they can go to school without fear of being blown up, where they can worship freely.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the vetting process is rigorous and expensive. “Being a stateless nation, for them to be able to come over here, my opinion is they should be allowed to enter even though they still go through the vetting process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morad and I visit a family who has experienced the vetting process: Mervat Shlemoun and her 17-year-old son, Matius Anioel. They escaped Baghdad 10 years ago and ended up in Syria. It took them five years to come to California as refugees. Shlemoun feels fortunate she got a job at a fast-food place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Taco Bell,” she says. “Thanks for God.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11321856\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11321856\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Matius-800x943.jpg\" alt=\"Matius Anioel says he may return to Iraq one day to help his people.

We have a lot of quinceaneras, weddings ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And funeral receptions. Like the one in early February for 92-year-old Hank Adams, the first Assyrian born in Turlock. His father, the Rev.

And this genocide has been going on and on for the last 100 years. And we just had another genocide in 2014, where the Christians were being massacred because they were Christians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David says Assyrians have been persecuted over and over again. It’s why some Assyrians are not opposed to President Trump’s travel ban that targets seven majority-Muslim countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s important for this country to protect its security interests, and for us as Assyrian-Americans it’s equally important, if not more important,\" says David.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he acknowledges it's complicated. The ban would also keep Assyrians out of the United States, at least temporarily. \"Of course we're not happy they're stuck there,” he says. “But it’s just another waiting process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community leader Carmen Morad says Assyrians continue to be \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/iraq-christians-persecuted-by-isis-60-minutes/\">persecuted\u003c/a> in Iraq and Syria by ISIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As you and I speak, there are Assyrian Christians that are in refugee camps. They are awaiting their resettlement paperwork to come,” she says. “Their homes have been destroyed. They are seeking an environment where they can go to school without fear of being blown up, where they can worship freely.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the vetting process is rigorous and expensive. “Being a stateless nation, for them to be able to come over here, my opinion is they should be allowed to enter even though they still go through the vetting process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morad and I visit a family who has experienced the vetting process: Mervat Shlemoun and her 17-year-old son, Matius Anioel. They escaped Baghdad 10 years ago and ended up in Syria. It took them five years to come to California as refugees. Shlemoun feels fortunate she got a job at a fast-food place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Taco Bell,” she says. “Thanks for God.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11321856\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11321856\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Matius-800x943.jpg\" alt=\"Matius Anioel says he may return to Iraq one day to help his people.
