San Francisco authorities released him in April, adhering to a policy of rejecting detainer requests from U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement to hold undocumented immigrants unless they face serious criminal charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is among hundreds of jurisdictions nationally that decline to honor ICE detainers, which have been successfully challenged in court and which advocates say can unfairly target immigrants who have done nothing wrong or committed only minor crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House will vote on legislation by Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-El Cajon, this week that would shut down two different types of local law enforcement grants to cities that don't cooperate with federal immigration authorities and cut off their reimbursements for the costs of jailing immigrants in the country illegally who commit crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, announced Tuesday that he, too, was offering a bill to cut off certain federal funding to sanctuary cities, as well as require a mandatory minimum five-year prison sentence for immigrants who illegally re-enter this country after having been deported. The latter provision has been championed by Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, who has dubbed it \"Kate's Law,\" and has been embraced by a number of conservative lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Enforcing the immigration laws of the United States is not a voluntary or trivial matter. Real lives are at stake. Things cannot continue this way,\" Grassley said. \"No more people should die at the hands of those who break our laws just by being here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the GOP proposals infuriated advocates who accused Republicans of targeting immigrant communities after repeatedly blocking comprehensive immigration overhaul legislation on Capitol Hill. The debate also comes as Trump has inflamed Latinos by describing Mexican immigrants as \"criminals\" and \"rapists.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Republicans, rather than look at the problem, which in essence is a need to revamp our entire immigration system, take a tragedy like this, which is a horrible tragedy, and politicize it,\" said David Leopold, past president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. \"It's no different than what Donald Trump has been running around the country doing, and that's demonizing immigrants.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunter's bill was also encountering some opposition from the right. NumbersUSA, a group that advocates lower immigration levels, announced its opposition. The group said the bill was too weak because it does nothing to address the federal government's release of tens of thousands of immigrants annually who have committed crimes.\u003c/p>\n\n",

San Francisco authorities released him in April, adhering to a policy of rejecting detainer requests from U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement to hold undocumented immigrants unless they face serious criminal charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is among hundreds of jurisdictions nationally that decline to honor ICE detainers, which have been successfully challenged in court and which advocates say can unfairly target immigrants who have done nothing wrong or committed only minor crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House will vote on legislation by Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-El Cajon, this week that would shut down two different types of local law enforcement grants to cities that don't cooperate with federal immigration authorities and cut off their reimbursements for the costs of jailing immigrants in the country illegally who commit crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, announced Tuesday that he, too, was offering a bill to cut off certain federal funding to sanctuary cities, as well as require a mandatory minimum five-year prison sentence for immigrants who illegally re-enter this country after having been deported. The latter provision has been championed by Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, who has dubbed it \"Kate's Law,\" and has been embraced by a number of conservative lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Enforcing the immigration laws of the United States is not a voluntary or trivial matter. Real lives are at stake. Things cannot continue this way,\" Grassley said. \"No more people should die at the hands of those who break our laws just by being here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the GOP proposals infuriated advocates who accused Republicans of targeting immigrant communities after repeatedly blocking comprehensive immigration overhaul legislation on Capitol Hill. The debate also comes as Trump has inflamed Latinos by describing Mexican immigrants as \"criminals\" and \"rapists.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Republicans, rather than look at the problem, which in essence is a need to revamp our entire immigration system, take a tragedy like this, which is a horrible tragedy, and politicize it,\" said David Leopold, past president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. \"It's no different than what Donald Trump has been running around the country doing, and that's demonizing immigrants.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunter's bill was also encountering some opposition from the right. NumbersUSA, a group that advocates lower immigration levels, announced its opposition. The group said the bill was too weak because it does nothing to address the federal government's release of tens of thousands of immigrants annually who have committed crimes.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That is unconstitutional,” San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said when announcing the suit. “No president can commandeer the local police force and turn it into the deportation arm of the federal government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco receives \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/SF-preparing-in-case-Trump-cuts-federal-funds-10607210.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nearly $500 million a year\u003c/a> in federal funds, which would be at risk if Trump's order survives in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) relies on local authorities to help enforce immigration laws, a 2013 federal appeals court \u003ca href=\"http://www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/123991p.pdf#page=13\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">decision\u003c/a> concluded that those local agencies are not legally required to detain undocumented immigrants when requested to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants currently reside in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What are sanctuary cities?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There's no official legal definition, and what it means varies from place to place. Generally speaking, local law enforcement in sanctuary cities or counties don't ask or report the immigration status of people they come into contact with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A sanctuary jurisdiction typically refuses requests from federal immigration authorities to detain undocumented immigrants apprehended for low-level offenses. For example, when someone gets arrested for a DUI, he or she might spend the night in jail, get processed and then released. If this person is undocumented, though, federal immigration authorities would be alerted and may ask local officials to hold this person for longer, and possibly deport them. A city or county with a sanctuary policy would generally deny that request unless legally mandated to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How many sanctuary cities are there?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Depends who you ask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2006 \u003ca href=\"http://www.ilw.com/immigrationdaily/news/2006,0912-crs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Congressional Research Service report \u003c/a>listed 32 counties and cities with explicit sanctuary ordinances. A number of cities have adopted similar resolutions since then, including Berkeley, Oakland and East Palo Alto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an analysis of data from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ilrc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Immigrant Legal Resource Center\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/09/02/us/sanctuary-cities.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times\u003c/a> tallied 39 cities and 364 counties across the country that in some way limit how much local law enforcement can cooperate with federal detention requests. It's unclear, however, how much action some of these jurisdictions have taken, other than officially expressing opposition to what they consider harsh federal or state immigration laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And organizations in some municipalities even challenge the label. In 2011, for instance, the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2011/aug/26/opinion/la-ed-sanctuary-20110825\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles Times editorial board\u003c/a> denied that Los Angeles was a sanctuary city, even though in 1979 the city had enacted a \u003ca href=\"http://assets.lapdonline.org/assets/pdf/SO_40.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">measure \u003c/a>to keep local police from inquiring about the immigration status of those arrested, one of the first cities in the country to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10961044\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2017/02/FT_17.01.31_unauthorizedMetros_map.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10961044 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2017/02/FT_17.01.31_unauthorizedMetros_map.png\" width=\"640\" height=\"483\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Note: not all metro areas shown here are necessarily sanctuary cities.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Four states --\u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/13-14/bill/asm/ab_0001-0050/ab_4_bill_20130916_enrolled.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> California\u003c/a>, Rhode Island, Vermont and Connecticut -- have also enacted ordinances in recent years that limit compliance with federal immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A least \u003ca href=\"http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2014/04/federal_ruling_sparks_halt_on.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nine Oregon counties\u003c/a> in 2014 stopped complying with ICE requests to hold undocumented immigrants in jail for the sole purpose of deportation. The change came after a federal judge ruled that one of those counties violated a woman’s Fourth Amendment rights by detaining her without probable cause. Some legal experts say the ruling may spur more local sanctuary policies across the state and possibly nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Are sanctuary cities more dangerous?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>On the campaign trail, and now as president, Trump has consistently \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/02/08/trumps-claim-that-sanctuary-cities-breed-crime/?utm_term=.9f83a4c2d5d1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">claimed\u003c/a> that sanctuary cities \"breed crime\" and have resulted in \"so many needless deaths,\" with the underlying suggestion that undocumented immigrants are more prone to violent criminal activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The language in his recent executive order underscores this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many aliens who illegally enter the United States and those who overstay or otherwise violate the terms of their visas present a significant threat to national security and public safety.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crime statistics, however, suggest otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/reports/2017/01/26/297366/the-effects-of-sanctuary-policies-on-crime-and-the-economy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent analysis\u003c/a> of FBI crime data by UC San Diego political science professor Tom Wong found that most counties considered “sanctuary” jurisdictions have notably lower rates of all types of crime, including homicide, than comparable non-sanctuary counties. In 2015, large metro sanctuary counties had 654 crimes fewer crimes per 100,000 people than large central metro non-sanctuary counties, the report found. That's nearly 15 percent less crime in sanctuary counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In smaller counties, the discrepancy was similar. The main exception, the report found, was in medium metro areas and counties bordering on large metro areas, where crime rates in sanctuary jurisdictions were slightly higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, it should be noted, was published by the Center for American Progress, a progressive policy organization. And it shows correlation, not causation. In other words, there no definitive proof that sanctuary policies actually \u003cem>cause\u003c/em> lower crime rates (it could just be a coincidence).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/criminalization-immigration-united-states\">study\u003c/a> by the American Immigration Council, a pro-immigrant group, analyzed FBI and census data from 1980 through 2010. It found that among men ages 18 to 49, immigrants (both legal and illegal) were far less likely than native-born Americans to engage in criminal behavior or to be incarcerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now keep in mind that both of these studies were conducted by left-leaning organizations with progressive agendas. And even though the conclusions are based squarely on federal statistics, skeptics are likely to counter that the authors used selective data to produce desired results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, several national policing associations seem to have embraced these findings. As the Washington Post \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/01/27/trump-says-sanctuary-cities-are-hotbeds-of-crime-data-say-the-opposite/?utm_term=.76296b4c8be2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recently reported\u003c/a>, the Major Cities Chiefs Association, representing the 63 largest urban areas in the nation, \u003ca href=\"https://www.majorcitieschiefs.com/pdf/news/MCC_Position_Statement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stated in a 2006 report,\u003c/a> that “immigration enforcement by local police would likely negatively affect and undermine the level of trust and cooperation between local police and immigrant communities,” which would “would result in increased crime against immigrants and in the broader community, create a class of silent victims and eliminate the potential for assistance from immigrants in solving crimes or preventing future terroristic acts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The International Association of Chiefs of Police reiterated this position, \u003ca href=\"http://www.theiacp.org/portals/0/pdfs/publications/immigrationenforcementconf.pdf\">writing that \u003c/a>“state and local law enforcement should not be involved in the enforcement of civil immigration laws since such involvement would likely have a chilling effect on both legal and illegal aliens reporting criminal activity or assisting police in criminal investigations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Which California cities have \"sanctuary\" policies?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: Although some of these cities may not explicitly identify as \"sanctuary cities,\" they've all adopted some type of policy (an ordinance, resolution or law enforcement directive) that limits how much local law enforcement officials can cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts.

U.S. churches, synagogues and other religious institutions began to provide refuge and services to thousands of undocumented immigrants from Guatemala and El Salvador who had fled civil unrest at home but were denied sanctuary in the U.S., largely due to Cold War politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effort became known as the \u003ca href=\"http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/sites/default/files/docs/CommunityPolicingPaper3-09.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanctuary Movement\u003c/a>, and as it spread, a number of cities throughout the country joined in solidarity, passing resolutions to overlook the immigration status of residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What are the arguments for and against these policies?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Supporters argue that cities have bigger public safety priorities and too few resources to handle immigration enforcement. Additionally, many local policymakers and law enforcement agencies argue that immigration enforcement is not their responsibility, and that cracking down on undocumented residents would undermine community relations, disrupt services and dissuade those residents from cooperating with crime prevention effort. They also note that none of their protective policies in any way prevent local police from pursuing immigrants suspected of committing crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump is among a large number of mostly Republicans opposed to sanctuary policies, arguing that they encourage illegal immigration, undermine federal enforcement efforts and severely compromise public safety, resulting in crimes that could have been avoided through deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What's unique about San Francisco's law?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Although the majority of sanctuary cities don't ask residents about their immigration status and refuse to share information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), San Francisco is among a handful of localities that take things a bit further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://sfgsa.org/index.aspx?page=1069\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City and County of Refuge ordinance\u003c/a>, adopted in 1989, prohibits the city from using any \"funds or resources to assist in the enforcement of federal immigration law or to gather or disseminate information regarding the immigration status\" of residents unless explicitly required by federal or state law or court order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The motion was further emphasized by a 2007 \u003ca href=\"http://sf311.org/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=426\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive directive \u003c/a>prohibiting city employees or agencies from assisting in any ICE investigation, detention or arrest proceeding unless required by federal law.

Generally speaking, local law enforcement in sanctuary cities or counties don't ask or report the immigration status of people they come into contact with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A sanctuary jurisdiction typically refuses requests from federal immigration authorities to detain undocumented immigrants apprehended for low-level offenses. For example, when someone gets arrested for a DUI, he or she might spend the night in jail, get processed and then released. If this person is undocumented, though, federal immigration authorities would be alerted and may ask local officials to hold this person for longer, and possibly deport them. A city or county with a sanctuary policy would generally deny that request unless legally mandated to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How many sanctuary cities are there?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Depends who you ask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2006 \u003ca href=\"http://www.ilw.com/immigrationdaily/news/2006,0912-crs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Congressional Research Service report \u003c/a>listed 32 counties and cities with explicit sanctuary ordinances.

It's unclear, however, how much action some of these jurisdictions have taken, other than officially expressing opposition to what they consider harsh federal or state immigration laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And organizations in some municipalities even challenge the label.

In 2015, large metro sanctuary counties had 654 crimes fewer crimes per 100,000 people than large central metro non-sanctuary counties, the report found. That's nearly 15 percent less crime in sanctuary counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In smaller counties, the discrepancy was similar. The main exception, the report found, was in medium metro areas and counties bordering on large metro areas, where crime rates in sanctuary jurisdictions were slightly higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, it should be noted, was published by the Center for American Progress, a progressive policy organization. And it shows correlation, not causation. In other words, there no definitive proof that sanctuary policies actually \u003cem>cause\u003c/em> lower crime rates (it could just be a coincidence).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/criminalization-immigration-united-states\">study\u003c/a> by the American Immigration Council, a pro-immigrant group, analyzed FBI and census data from 1980 through 2010. It found that among men ages 18 to 49, immigrants (both legal and illegal) were far less likely than native-born Americans to engage in criminal behavior or to be incarcerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now keep in mind that both of these studies were conducted by left-leaning organizations with progressive agendas. And even though the conclusions are based squarely on federal statistics, skeptics are likely to counter that the authors used selective data to produce desired results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, several national policing associations seem to have embraced these findings. As the Washington Post \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/01/27/trump-says-sanctuary-cities-are-hotbeds-of-crime-data-say-the-opposite/?utm_term=.76296b4c8be2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recently reported\u003c/a>, the Major Cities Chiefs Association, representing the 63 largest urban areas in the nation, \u003ca href=\"https://www.majorcitieschiefs.com/pdf/news/MCC_Position_Statement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stated in a 2006 report,\u003c/a> that “immigration enforcement by local police would likely negatively affect and undermine the level of trust and cooperation between local police and immigrant communities,” which would “would result in increased crime against immigrants and in the broader community, create a class of silent victims and eliminate the potential for assistance from immigrants in solving crimes or preventing future terroristic acts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The International Association of Chiefs of Police reiterated this position, \u003ca href=\"http://www.theiacp.org/portals/0/pdfs/publications/immigrationenforcementconf.pdf\">writing that \u003c/a>“state and local law enforcement should not be involved in the enforcement of civil immigration laws since such involvement would likely have a chilling effect on both legal and illegal aliens reporting criminal activity or assisting police in criminal investigations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Which California cities have \"sanctuary\" policies?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: Although some of these cities may not explicitly identify as \"sanctuary cities,\" they've all adopted some type of policy (an ordinance, resolution or law enforcement directive) that limits how much local law enforcement officials can cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts.

Additionally, many local policymakers and law enforcement agencies argue that immigration enforcement is not their responsibility, and that cracking down on undocumented residents would undermine community relations, disrupt services and dissuade those residents from cooperating with crime prevention effort. They also note that none of their protective policies in any way prevent local police from pursuing immigrants suspected of committing crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump is among a large number of mostly Republicans opposed to sanctuary policies, arguing that they encourage illegal immigration, undermine federal enforcement efforts and severely compromise public safety, resulting in crimes that could have been avoided through deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What's unique about San Francisco's law?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Although the majority of sanctuary cities don't ask residents about their immigration status and refuse to share information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), San Francisco is among a handful of localities that take things a bit further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://sfgsa.org/index.aspx?page=1069\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City and County of Refuge ordinance\u003c/a>, adopted in 1989, prohibits the city from using any \"funds or resources to assist in the enforcement of federal immigration law or to gather or disseminate information regarding the immigration status\" of residents unless explicitly required by federal or state law or court order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The motion was further emphasized by a 2007 \u003ca href=\"http://sf311.org/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=426\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive directive \u003c/a>prohibiting city employees or agencies from assisting in any ICE investigation, detention or arrest proceeding unless required by federal law.

Thornton said she couldn't say how the homicide was carried out or concealed since it's still being investigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It just blows my mind, because officers are looking in on inmates all the time,\" said Christine Ward, executive director of the Crime Victims Action Alliance. \"Unfortunately, we know that there are drugs, there's alcohol, there are weapons. As much as the officers can police that, we know we've got the toughest, the baddest, the most violent criminals in our state prison and unfortunately some of the most cunning prisoners in there as well. They are going to find ways to do that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodriguez's body was discovered on May 4 around 9:30 p.m. -- 14½ hours after inmates were ordered locked in their cells following a brawl between 58 inmates in his housing unit. Three prisoners and one correctional officer were injured in the fight, and Thornton said an inmate-made weapon was recovered. She declined to describe it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the riot and resulting investigation, Rodriguez was not discovered missing until a headcount at 4:30 p.m. Thornton said officials initially assumed he had escaped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators are looking into whether the riot was created to conceal the slaying or allow someone to move the body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's very difficult to cover every contingency with the limited staff that we have,\" said Chuck Alexander, president of the California Correctional Peace Officers Association that represents most prison guards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This kind of thing at Solano, sad to say, I predict it's just a precursor,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted a 2011 California law that keeps lower-level offenders in county jails, leaving state prisons to hold the most violent criminals. Changes in prison policies, meanwhile, mean more dangerous offenders are being housed in lower-security prisons like medium-security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodriguez had alcohol in his system and was dead before he was eviscerated, killed by blows to the head that left him with a deep star-shaped wound on his forehead among his multiple skull fractures, cuts and other wounds, according to the May 27 autopsy report conducted by the Solano County Sheriff coroner's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His mother, Maria Rodriguez of Oakland, said she has been given no details about what happened. She said she had not seen the autopsy report, but said she knew her son's body was badly injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I saw my son ... at the funeral, he was so bad in the face,\" she said in a telephone interview. \"I called them last week, and they say they're going to tell me in two weeks or in three weeks, but right now we don't got nothing.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Dianne Feinstein have called out the Sheriff's Department for not notifying ICE that Sanchez, with multiple drug felonies and deportations on his record, would be released from jail. Lee was especially critical in his Wednesday \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201507080900\" target=\"_blank\">appearance on KQED \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>,\u003c/em> making comments like the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>You know, the ordinary thing is to look at who had hands on this felon, this repeated serious felony violator, last. And I'm trying to understand the whole picture, from the feds to the local. But I do happen to agree with Senator Feinstein that you look at who had that last responsibility. It was our sheriff. ... And when the feds released this person to us, there could have been a notification that we're about to release a repeat serious felony offender, who is not legally here. It's a phone call, Michael, and I think the sheriff dropped the ball there.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Later, Lee said: \" So, I want to keep this simple for the public that when you vote in public officials and the highest law enforcement officials, they have a duty to balance these things. And, you know, I think a simple phone call would have done the trick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi is up for re-election in November. He and Lee have been at odds since the mayor -- unsuccessfully -- tried to have Mirkarimi removed from office in 2012 after the sheriff pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of false imprisonment related to an incident with his wife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In defending his department against the notion that it should have informed ICE of Sanchez's release, Mirkarimi again pointed to San Francisco's \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=2650835&GUID=9E9091EA-082D-41EB-8282-43E2BD3AC2CA\" target=\"_blank\">Due Process for All Ordinance\u003c/a> (which he has repeatedly mentioned by tacking on: \"Passed by the Board of Supervisors and signed by the mayor.\") Mirkarimi said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mayor ‘s throwing his own law under the bus, simply trying to walk away or run away from the very ordinance he signed into effect. Because if in fact that he’s looking for some ambiguity in the law in order to cover his position, then it really defeats the whole purpose of the law in the first place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff’s Department employees shouldn’t have to determine when and how much to cooperate with ICE in connection with detainer requests, which have been \u003ca href=\"http://immigrantjustice.org/sites/immigrantjustice.org/files/Miranda-Olivares%20%20v%20Clackamas%20County%20%28D%20Or.%20detainer%20SJ%20decision%29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">ruled unconstitutional\u003c/a> by federal courts, Mirkarimi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Due Process ordinance does not address giving ICE advance notice of a release. But Mirkarimi said, \"If you look very clearly In the declarative sense of the law, of what the intention is ... then [critics] are asking us to use a subjective barometer that would then eventually conflict with the constitutional concerns that motivated the birth of the law in the first place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Sanchez’s record of convictions for nonviolent drug offenses and re-entering the country illegally did not “meet the threshold of the local law that would require us to pick up the phone or use our discretion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked how many detainers from ICE the Sheriff’s Department had honored, Mirkarimi said none.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regarding the issue of why Sanchez was transferred from federal prison to San Francisco on a 20-year-old bench warrant, subsequently dismissed, Mirkarimi said his department had no discretion but to bring him back to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A bench warrant is different from a district attorney warrant,” he said. \"We can intervene (with) the San Francisco district attorney. On a bench warrant, we cannot. That’s the magistrate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi again laid blame on the federal government for Sanchez’s return, saying that if ICE wanted to deport him, it should have obtained a warrant or court order, which unlike detainer requests would have had the force of law,.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE, which has said the tragedy could have been prevented if local authorities had notified it of Sanchez’s release, has said “the whole system would collapse” should it have to obtain judicial orders for every deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that is an inconvenience, Mirkarimi said, “then it’s inconvenient for us to be testing the erosion of the Constitution. And that's part of the inherent conflict that needs to be reconciled and has been well explained to leadership of ICE. “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 2 p.m. Thursday\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Sheriff's Department said it had no choice but to request and arrange for the transfer to its custody of Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, who has been charged with murder in the July 1 shooting of Kathryn Steinle on Pier 14 near the Ferry Building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, sheriff's officials insist they were \"obligated\" to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freya Horne, chief legal counsel for the department, said in an email that the Sheriff's Department warrant bureau was contacted on March 21 by the Bureau of Federal Prisons about an outstanding 1995 felony warrant issued by the court for possession-for-sale and sale of marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Sheriff’s Department responded as is required protocol with a routine letter to arrange for pickup of Lopez-Sanchez from federal custody to transport him to court in San Francisco on the outstanding warrant,\" Horne wrote. \"The Sheriff’s Department arranged for Lopez-Sanchez’s transportation and he was booked into San Francisco County Jail on March 26, 2015. He went to court on March 27, 2015 and the court dismissed the charges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horne noted that the warrant had been on the books two decades, and yet this was the first time the Sheriff’s Department was contacted about it despite the fact Sanchez had been deported directly from federal custody several times in that 20-year period without any contact to clear the warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter from the Sheriff's Department can be seen at the bottom of this post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/mirkarimistatement_Redacted.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">A separate statement\u003c/a> by San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi asked: \"Why now do the Feds call SF to satisfy the bench warrant when they could have released him to ICE for deportation proceedings as they had done numerous times before? Why not call the DA or Magistrate to obviate the transfer since SF rarely prosecutes for marijuana possession and sale?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By law, once we are contacted -- and the Feds contacted SF first -- SF Sheriff is obligated to arrange transportation for the outstanding bench warrant, which we did.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It conluded: \"ICE violated their own policy - federal authorities should have proceeded directly with deportation as they had done several times previously.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 9:30 a.m. Thursday:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a new twist in the relentless finger-pointing and he-said/she-said exchanges over who's to blame for the fatal July 1 shooting of Kathryn Steinle on San Francisco's Pier 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Lee-slams-Mirkarimi-for-not-talking-to-6373929.php\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle, \u003c/a>suspect Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez -- an undocumented immigrant with a string of drug felonies and five deportations -- ended up in the city in March because the San Francisco Sheriff's Department asked Bureau of Prisons officials to return him after he'd finished serving a 46-month prison term in Victorville for illegal re-entry to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The request (\u003ca href=\"#warrant\">read below\u003c/a>) by the sheriff's office was allegedly made to resolve a $20 marijuana case that was quickly dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revelation contradicts statements that Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi made on \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201507070900\" target=\"_blank\">KQED's \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> on Tuesday morning\u003c/a>, in which he said: “We’re trying to understand why ICE returned Sanchez to San Francisco on a 20-year-old marijuana possession charge in a city that really doesn’t even prosecute marijuana possession … and knowing that he had been deported and illegally entered the country.\" (It was actually the Bureau of Prisons that transferred Sanchez, not ICE.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, according to the Chronicle:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Mirkarimi’s agency requested custody of Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez as he was completing a 46-month stint in federal prison in March in San Bernardino County, according to a Sheriff’s Department letter obtained by The Chronicle. Lopez-Sanchez had been deported five times to Mexico and had been imprisoned for illegally re-entering the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal Bureau of Prisons alerted the Sheriff’s Department in March that Lopez-Sanchez was going to be released. Mirkarimi’s agency, realizing that Lopez-Sanchez was wanted on a $5,000 bench warrant related to a 1995 marijuana possession-for-sale case, asked prison officials March 23 to hold him and to notify San Francisco authorities “when the subject is ready for our pick-up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Also, please notify us if the hold cannot be placed or the named subject is released to another jurisdiction prior to our receipt,” said the letter, signed by Vic Gaerlan of the sheriff’s warrant bureau.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Also, more details have emerged about the gun, which belonged to a Bureau of Land Management agent, that was used in the killing of Steinle. BLM spokeswoman Dana Wilson told KQED's Alex Emslie:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The weapon was stolen in downtown San Francisco on June 27. The officer was traveling through San Francisco when his vehicle was broken into and the theft occurred. He immediately reported that to the San Francisco Police Department, in addition to following our internal protocols and informing the National Crime Information Center.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:20 p.m. Wednesday: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press reports that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management said one of its agents' service guns was used in the shooting death of a woman walking on a popular San Francisco pier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BLM spokeswoman Dana Wilson said Wednesday that the weapon was issued to an agency ranger and was stolen from the agent's car while he was in San Francisco on business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, who has been deported to his native Mexico five times and is suspected of living in the United States illegally, told television news stations that he found the gun on Pier 14 and that it accidentally fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Matier & Ross column in today's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Pier-slaying-suspect-s-twisted-road-to-S-F-6371537.php?cmpid=gsa-sfgate-result\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> said one pivotal question hasn't been completely answered yet: \"Why didn't the feds deport Sanchez when they had the chance?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Records show that Lopez-Sanchez had spent 46 months in federal lockup in Victorville (San Bernardino County) for entering the country illegally, then was returned to San Francisco by the federal Bureau of Prisons in March to clear an outstanding felony drug warrant dating from two decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, federal immigration officials had already managed to deport Lopez-Sanchez five times since that warrant was issued, apparently without ever having sent him to San Francisco to answer to the drug charge.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the DA's office said the Bureau of Prisons didn't let prosecutors know Sanchez was being sent to San Francisco. A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said her agency would have shipped him back to Mexico if the Bureau of Prisons had turned him over, as it had the previous five times. The bureau's spokesman couldn't explain why the 1995 case had never come up before, but said his agency was following standard procedure in sending Sanchez to San Francisco this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, in the endless blame game that has been a byproduct of the shooting, Mayor Ed Lee, during an appearance on KQED's \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> this morning, once again blasted San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Who had hands on this felon, this repeated serious felon, last? \" Lee said. \"I do happen to agree with Senator Feinstein that you look at who had the last responsibility.

Dianne Feinstein have called out the Sheriff's Department for not notifying ICE that Sanchez, with multiple drug felonies and deportations on his record, would be released from jail. Lee was especially critical in his Wednesday \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201507080900\" target=\"_blank\">appearance on KQED \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>,\u003c/em> making comments like the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>You know, the ordinary thing is to look at who had hands on this felon, this repeated serious felony violator, last. And I'm trying to understand the whole picture, from the feds to the local. But I do happen to agree with Senator Feinstein that you look at who had that last responsibility. It was our sheriff. ... And when the feds released this person to us, there could have been a notification that we're about to release a repeat serious felony offender, who is not legally here. It's a phone call, Michael, and I think the sheriff dropped the ball there.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Later, Lee said: \" So, I want to keep this simple for the public that when you vote in public officials and the highest law enforcement officials, they have a duty to balance these things. And, you know, I think a simple phone call would have done the trick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi is up for re-election in November. He and Lee have been at odds since the mayor -- unsuccessfully -- tried to have Mirkarimi removed from office in 2012 after the sheriff pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of false imprisonment related to an incident with his wife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In defending his department against the notion that it should have informed ICE of Sanchez's release, Mirkarimi again pointed to San Francisco's \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=2650835&GUID=9E9091EA-082D-41EB-8282-43E2BD3AC2CA\" target=\"_blank\">Due Process for All Ordinance\u003c/a> (which he has repeatedly mentioned by tacking on: \"Passed by the Board of Supervisors and signed by the mayor.\") Mirkarimi said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mayor ‘s throwing his own law under the bus, simply trying to walk away or run away from the very ordinance he signed into effect. Because if in fact that he’s looking for some ambiguity in the law in order to cover his position, then it really defeats the whole purpose of the law in the first place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff’s Department employees shouldn’t have to determine when and how much to cooperate with ICE in connection with detainer requests, which have been \u003ca href=\"http://immigrantjustice.org/sites/immigrantjustice.org/files/Miranda-Olivares%20%20v%20Clackamas%20County%20%28D%20Or.%20detainer%20SJ%20decision%29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">ruled unconstitutional\u003c/a> by federal courts, Mirkarimi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Due Process ordinance does not address giving ICE advance notice of a release. But Mirkarimi said, \"If you look very clearly In the declarative sense of the law, of what the intention is ... then [critics] are asking us to use a subjective barometer that would then eventually conflict with the constitutional concerns that motivated the birth of the law in the first place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Sanchez’s record of convictions for nonviolent drug offenses and re-entering the country illegally did not “meet the threshold of the local law that would require us to pick up the phone or use our discretion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked how many detainers from ICE the Sheriff’s Department had honored, Mirkarimi said none.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regarding the issue of why Sanchez was transferred from federal prison to San Francisco on a 20-year-old bench warrant, subsequently dismissed, Mirkarimi said his department had no discretion but to bring him back to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A bench warrant is different from a district attorney warrant,” he said. \"We can intervene (with) the San Francisco district attorney. On a bench warrant, we cannot. That’s the magistrate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi again laid blame on the federal government for Sanchez’s return, saying that if ICE wanted to deport him, it should have obtained a warrant or court order, which unlike detainer requests would have had the force of law,.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE, which has said the tragedy could have been prevented if local authorities had notified it of Sanchez’s release, has said “the whole system would collapse” should it have to obtain judicial orders for every deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that is an inconvenience, Mirkarimi said, “then it’s inconvenient for us to be testing the erosion of the Constitution. And that's part of the inherent conflict that needs to be reconciled and has been well explained to leadership of ICE. “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 2 p.m. Thursday\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Sheriff's Department said it had no choice but to request and arrange for the transfer to its custody of Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, who has been charged with murder in the July 1 shooting of Kathryn Steinle on Pier 14 near the Ferry Building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, sheriff's officials insist they were \"obligated\" to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freya Horne, chief legal counsel for the department, said in an email that the Sheriff's Department warrant bureau was contacted on March 21 by the Bureau of Federal Prisons about an outstanding 1995 felony warrant issued by the court for possession-for-sale and sale of marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Sheriff’s Department responded as is required protocol with a routine letter to arrange for pickup of Lopez-Sanchez from federal custody to transport him to court in San Francisco on the outstanding warrant,\" Horne wrote. \"The Sheriff’s Department arranged for Lopez-Sanchez’s transportation and he was booked into San Francisco County Jail on March 26, 2015. He went to court on March 27, 2015 and the court dismissed the charges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horne noted that the warrant had been on the books two decades, and yet this was the first time the Sheriff’s Department was contacted about it despite the fact Sanchez had been deported directly from federal custody several times in that 20-year period without any contact to clear the warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter from the Sheriff's Department can be seen at the bottom of this post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/mirkarimistatement_Redacted.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">A separate statement\u003c/a> by San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi asked: \"Why now do the Feds call SF to satisfy the bench warrant when they could have released him to ICE for deportation proceedings as they had done numerous times before? Why not call the DA or Magistrate to obviate the transfer since SF rarely prosecutes for marijuana possession and sale?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By law, once we are contacted -- and the Feds contacted SF first -- SF Sheriff is obligated to arrange transportation for the outstanding bench warrant, which we did.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It conluded: \"ICE violated their own policy - federal authorities should have proceeded directly with deportation as they had done several times previously.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 9:30 a.m. Thursday:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a new twist in the relentless finger-pointing and he-said/she-said exchanges over who's to blame for the fatal July 1 shooting of Kathryn Steinle on San Francisco's Pier 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Lee-slams-Mirkarimi-for-not-talking-to-6373929.php\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle, \u003c/a>suspect Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez -- an undocumented immigrant with a string of drug felonies and five deportations -- ended up in the city in March because the San Francisco Sheriff's Department asked Bureau of Prisons officials to return him after he'd finished serving a 46-month prison term in Victorville for illegal re-entry to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The request (\u003ca href=\"#warrant\">read below\u003c/a>) by the sheriff's office was allegedly made to resolve a $20 marijuana case that was quickly dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revelation contradicts statements that Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi made on \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201507070900\" target=\"_blank\">KQED's \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> on Tuesday morning\u003c/a>, in which he said: “We’re trying to understand why ICE returned Sanchez to San Francisco on a 20-year-old marijuana possession charge in a city that really doesn’t even prosecute marijuana possession … and knowing that he had been deported and illegally entered the country.\" (It was actually the Bureau of Prisons that transferred Sanchez, not ICE.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, according to the Chronicle:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Mirkarimi’s agency requested custody of Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez as he was completing a 46-month stint in federal prison in March in San Bernardino County, according to a Sheriff’s Department letter obtained by The Chronicle. Lopez-Sanchez had been deported five times to Mexico and had been imprisoned for illegally re-entering the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal Bureau of Prisons alerted the Sheriff’s Department in March that Lopez-Sanchez was going to be released. Mirkarimi’s agency, realizing that Lopez-Sanchez was wanted on a $5,000 bench warrant related to a 1995 marijuana possession-for-sale case, asked prison officials March 23 to hold him and to notify San Francisco authorities “when the subject is ready for our pick-up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Also, please notify us if the hold cannot be placed or the named subject is released to another jurisdiction prior to our receipt,” said the letter, signed by Vic Gaerlan of the sheriff’s warrant bureau.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Also, more details have emerged about the gun, which belonged to a Bureau of Land Management agent, that was used in the killing of Steinle. BLM spokeswoman Dana Wilson told KQED's Alex Emslie:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The weapon was stolen in downtown San Francisco on June 27. The officer was traveling through San Francisco when his vehicle was broken into and the theft occurred. He immediately reported that to the San Francisco Police Department, in addition to following our internal protocols and informing the National Crime Information Center.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:20 p.m. Wednesday: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press reports that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management said one of its agents' service guns was used in the shooting death of a woman walking on a popular San Francisco pier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BLM spokeswoman Dana Wilson said Wednesday that the weapon was issued to an agency ranger and was stolen from the agent's car while he was in San Francisco on business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, who has been deported to his native Mexico five times and is suspected of living in the United States illegally, told television news stations that he found the gun on Pier 14 and that it accidentally fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Matier & Ross column in today's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Pier-slaying-suspect-s-twisted-road-to-S-F-6371537.php?cmpid=gsa-sfgate-result\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> said one pivotal question hasn't been completely answered yet: \"Why didn't the feds deport Sanchez when they had the chance?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Records show that Lopez-Sanchez had spent 46 months in federal lockup in Victorville (San Bernardino County) for entering the country illegally, then was returned to San Francisco by the federal Bureau of Prisons in March to clear an outstanding felony drug warrant dating from two decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, federal immigration officials had already managed to deport Lopez-Sanchez five times since that warrant was issued, apparently without ever having sent him to San Francisco to answer to the drug charge.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the DA's office said the Bureau of Prisons didn't let prosecutors know Sanchez was being sent to San Francisco. A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said her agency would have shipped him back to Mexico if the Bureau of Prisons had turned him over, as it had the previous five times. The bureau's spokesman couldn't explain why the 1995 case had never come up before, but said his agency was following standard procedure in sending Sanchez to San Francisco this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, in the endless blame game that has been a byproduct of the shooting, Mayor Ed Lee, during an appearance on KQED's \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> this morning, once again blasted San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Who had hands on this felon, this repeated serious felon, last? \" Lee said. \"I do happen to agree with Senator Feinstein that you look at who had the last responsibility. It was our sheriff. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 6:25 p.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> A source close to the investigation, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed to KQED News that the gun Francisco Sanchez used to shoot and kill Kate Steinle belonged to a federal agent.

Times\u003c/a> -- pleaded not guilty to murder charges in Superior Court Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez had been released by the Sheriff's Department from San Francisco County Jail on April 15, despite a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ice.gov/factsheets/detainer-faq\" target=\"_blank\">detainer request\u003c/a> from ICE and a long rap sheet, which NBC Bay Area has \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Francisco-Sanchez-Pier-14-Heroin-Deportation-Immigration-Debate-Steinle-312139981.html?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_BAYBrand#data\" target=\"_blank\">transcribed\u003c/a>. Sanchez's criminal record stretches back to 1991 and includes convictions for heroin possession, manufacturing narcotics and -- in between deportations -- multiple instances of illegally re-entering the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, Sanchez -- who is 52, according to the San Francisco DA's Office -- finished serving a federal prison sentence for felony re-entry into the U.S. The Federal Bureau of Prisons then transferred him to the San Francisco County Sheriff’s Department, based on an outstanding arrest warrant from the San Francisco Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the bureau told KQED that it was the Sheriff's Department that initiated the request to transfer Sanchez to San Francisco. The Sheriff's Department has a different take: It says the BOP initiated the request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But could the Bureau of Prisons have informed ICE directly that an individual who had just served time for felony re-entry was being released?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is not the BOP’s responsibility to tell us,\" wrote ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen. \"We lodged the detainer with [the San Francisco Sheriff's Office] -- it was their responsibility to tell us they were cutting him loose.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, the Bureau of Prisons said in an email that an ICE deportation matter would not have taken priority over a local request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Charges Dismissed March 27\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/S-F-drug-warrant-helped-accused-killer-stay-in-6369360.php\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle reported\u003c/a> the charge that brought Sanchez back to San Francisco from prison was related to buying $20 worth of marijuana from police in 1995 and \"a separate count of selling more than 28 grams of pot.\" When he skipped his court appearance, the Chronicle says, a judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those charges were dismissed on March 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE, meanwhile, had received notification that Sanchez had been booked into San Francisco custody and had sent a request for an immigration detainer, asking to be notified prior to his release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has laid blame for Sanchez's unsupervised release squarely on the Sheriff's Department for ignoring its request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bottom line: If the local authorities had merely NOTIFIED ICE (ICE emphasis) that they were about to release this individual into the community,\" a spokesperson said in an email, \"ICE could have taken custody of him and had him removed from the country -- thus preventing this terrible tragedy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Ordinance\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mirkarimi said on \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> that his department ignored the detainer request in accordance with a 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbos.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/bdsupvrs/ordinances13/o0204-13.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">city ordinance\u003c/a> that specifically states: \"A law enforcement official shall not detain an individual on the basis of an immigration detainer after that individual becomes eligible for release from custody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exceptions to the policy exist for those individuals who have been convicted of a violent felony within the past seven years and are currently in custody for another violent felony, of which a magistrate has determined there is probable cause of guilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials who want to hold a prisoner under this exception must also \"consider evidence of the individual's rehabilitation and evaluate whether the individual poses a public safety risk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A state law, called the Trust Act, also prohibits local law enforcement from detaining noncitizens past their release date, again with exceptions for those who have committed violent crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a federal court decision in Oregon last year ruled that ICE's authority to issue detainers was \u003ca href=\"http://immigrantjustice.org/sites/immigrantjustice.org/files/Miranda-Olivares%20%20v%20Clackamas%20County%20(D%20Or.%20detainer%20SJ%20decision).pdf\" target=\"_blank\">unconstitutional\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ignoring detainer requests from immigration authorities is not uncommon, apparently. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Francisco-Sanchez-Pier-14-Heroin-Deportation-Immigration-Debate-Steinle-312139981.html\">NBC Bay Area reports\u003c/a>: \"Between January 1, 2014, and June 19, ICE records show there have been 10,516 detainers declined in California and 17,193 detainers declined nationwide.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'This Isn't Like It Was a Surprise'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi said today he met with the Department of Homeland Security in February to reiterate San Francisco's policy of requiring an order or a warrant in order to honor a detainer request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This isn’t like it was a surprise,\" Mirkarimi said. \"And what is even more baffling is that here's somebody that ICE essentially has allowed to be brought to San Francisco on a a 20-year-old warrant for a marijuana narcotics charge, which we don’t prosecute.
