"content": "\u003cp>A federal judge on Thursday found that San Francisco’s sheriff has routinely violated a court order that prohibits warrantless searches of people released from jail who are awaiting trial and warned that the city could be held in contempt if the practice continues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.401001/gov.uscourts.cand.401001.111.0.pdf\">ruling\u003c/a> came in response to a class-action case filed against San Francisco and its sheriff, Paul Miyamoto, in 2022 by the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California. The lawsuit alleges that the electronic monitoring program overseen by the sheriff violates the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution when it requires defendants to consent to searches without warrants or probable cause, even in cases when judges don’t impose what’s called a “search condition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case also challenges the sheriff’s practice of sharing with other law enforcement agencies GPS data from people released pretrial whose location is tracked with electronic ankle monitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to make sure that the Sheriff’s [Department] is not unilaterally exercising authority that does not belong to it in order to increase its ability to surveil and search people in San Francisco,” Emi Young, an ACLU NorCal attorney, said in an interview on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Jon S. Tigar \u003ca href=\"https://www.law360.com/articles/1797565/san-francisco-s-ankle-monitor-rules-put-on-hold\">issued a preliminary injunction\u003c/a> earlier this year prohibiting the Sheriff’s Office from continuing to enforce the warrantless search conditions and sharing locations of pretrial defendants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that order, however, the judge found that the Sheriff’s Department had not stopped imposing their intensive search conditions, which violated the court order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more criminal justice stories\" tag=\"criminal-justice\"]In Thursday’s ruling, Tigar noted that the sheriff had violated the preliminary injunction in two different ways. He pointed to statements from San Francisco trial judges that said they imposed a search condition only because it is a “prerequisite for electronic monitoring” under the sheriff’s program. And in other cases when judges didn’t order a search condition, the sheriff imposed one anyway, according to Tigar’s ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those practices hindered San Francisco trial judges from exercising their discretion when releasing defendants facing criminal charges, Tigar added. He noted that the sheriff’s policies pushing the court to issue intensive search conditions are in violation of the “spirit” of the injunction originally issued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To the extent Defendants have been uncertain about whether their conduct violated the Court’s order, that uncertainty has now been resolved,” Tigar wrote in his scathing ruling on Thursday. He stopped short of moving to hold San Francisco in contempt but invited plaintiffs to “renew their request for the Court to begin contempt proceedings” if the city continues to defy the preliminary injunction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tigar said during the hearing that despite San Francisco’s attempt to appeal the preliminary injunction, his order is “still the law” and that the defendants are required to adhere to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sheriff’s Department declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the hearing, an attorney for the plaintiffs requested that the judge order the Sheriff’s Department to file a report with the information of every person who had been detained while on pretrial electronic monitoring without a court-ordered search condition. The judge denied the request but noted that the plaintiffs could request such information at a later point in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the fundamental principles of constitutional law is that when it comes to decisions about whether your rights are going to be curtailed or whether you’re going to be subjected to certain kinds of searches and surveillance, that those decisions are going to be made by a neutral decision maker,” said Young, the ACLU attorney. “It’s very concerning to us when law enforcement agencies like the sheriff go beyond what they have been authorized to do by the court in order to conduct their own surveillance regime.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The lawsuit alleges that the electronic monitoring program overseen by the sheriff violates the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution when it requires defendants to consent to searches without warrants or probable cause, even in cases when judges don’t impose what’s called a “search condition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case also challenges the sheriff’s practice of sharing with other law enforcement agencies GPS data from people released pretrial whose location is tracked with electronic ankle monitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to make sure that the Sheriff’s [Department] is not unilaterally exercising authority that does not belong to it in order to increase its ability to surveil and search people in San Francisco,” Emi Young, an ACLU NorCal attorney, said in an interview on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Jon S. Tigar \u003ca href=\"https://www.law360.com/articles/1797565/san-francisco-s-ankle-monitor-rules-put-on-hold\">issued a preliminary injunction\u003c/a> earlier this year prohibiting the Sheriff’s Office from continuing to enforce the warrantless search conditions and sharing locations of pretrial defendants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>In Thursday’s ruling, Tigar noted that the sheriff had violated the preliminary injunction in two different ways. He pointed to statements from San Francisco trial judges that said they imposed a search condition only because it is a “prerequisite for electronic monitoring” under the sheriff’s program. And in other cases when judges didn’t order a search condition, the sheriff imposed one anyway, according to Tigar’s ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those practices hindered San Francisco trial judges from exercising their discretion when releasing defendants facing criminal charges, Tigar added. He noted that the sheriff’s policies pushing the court to issue intensive search conditions are in violation of the “spirit” of the injunction originally issued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To the extent Defendants have been uncertain about whether their conduct violated the Court’s order, that uncertainty has now been resolved,” Tigar wrote in his scathing ruling on Thursday. He stopped short of moving to hold San Francisco in contempt but invited plaintiffs to “renew their request for the Court to begin contempt proceedings” if the city continues to defy the preliminary injunction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tigar said during the hearing that despite San Francisco’s attempt to appeal the preliminary injunction, his order is “still the law” and that the defendants are required to adhere to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sheriff’s Department declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the hearing, an attorney for the plaintiffs requested that the judge order the Sheriff’s Department to file a report with the information of every person who had been detained while on pretrial electronic monitoring without a court-ordered search condition. The judge denied the request but noted that the plaintiffs could request such information at a later point in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the fundamental principles of constitutional law is that when it comes to decisions about whether your rights are going to be curtailed or whether you’re going to be subjected to certain kinds of searches and surveillance, that those decisions are going to be made by a neutral decision maker,” said Young, the ACLU attorney. “It’s very concerning to us when law enforcement agencies like the sheriff go beyond what they have been authorized to do by the court in order to conduct their own surveillance regime.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Local and federal law enforcement agencies have ramped up efforts to disrupt the sale of fentanyl through increased arrests, citations and deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a great number of cases being charged by the prosecution against our clients for very low-level drug dealing. Oftentimes, our clients are victims of human trafficking or labor trafficking,” Raju said at a rally outside the Hall of Justice. “And oftentimes they are selling drugs to avoid further violence being done to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defendant who was acquitted last month is a 27-year-old Honduran man whose name was not provided by attorneys. Raju said the district attorney’s office should treat such labor trafficking cases as it does sex trafficking cases and sign a certification stating that the acquitted defendant was a victim of a crime, which would qualify them for what’s known as a T-visa or U-visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney’s office, meanwhile, has filed more criminal charges against alleged drug dealers and users since Jenkins was elected in 2022, totaling nearly 1800, and her office reports that it has secured 314 felony narcotics convictions during that time. Attorneys with the public defender’s office said their caseloads have ballooned in recent years as prosecutors’ filings ticked up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My office has been filing pre-trial detention motions in the most egregious narcotics dealing cases and those involving repeat offenders because of the extreme public safety risk posed by these drug dealers,” Jenkins said in a previous statement to KQED. “We are making slow progress and need to continue our efforts to see more improvement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, federal law enforcement agencies also stepped up drug-related arrests and deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although San Francisco’s sanctuary city policy bars most cooperation between local law enforcement and immigration agents, federal authorities, since last fall, have started prosecuting more drug dealing cases. Immigrants charged with federal crimes for low-level drug dealing have been offered plea deals that often end with credit for time served plus a one-day sentence — and because federal prosecutors are not barred from working directly with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, those plea deals can be a fast track to deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12005687 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240830-SFSideshowLegislation-28-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ismail Ramsey, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California, did not respond to requests for comment for this story. However, Ramsey told KQED in July that the approach has been used for more than 100 Tenderloin cases so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cases that are “whisked away” to federal court stop the public defender’s office from being involved, Raju said, noting that of seven trials in which his office argued a human trafficking defense in the last two years, two ended in guilty verdicts, four ended in hung juries, and the most recent led to an acquittal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins’ sole opponent in November’s election, Ryan Khojasteh, supports having federal authorities assist in arresting drug dealers but said the agencies should be more focused on high-level dealers and cartels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to really competently and holistically addressing the drug trade in our city, we have to go after those at the top to make a meaningful difference,” he said. “You can put away one low-level drug dealer and three are in their place tomorrow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the ways to do that, Khojasteh proposed, is by getting defendants to share confidential information in exchange for a favorable plea deal, which could include protected status to stay in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We should be finding out who is the one coercing these people,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, candidates vying for mayor have largely shown support for federal prosecutors’ and law enforcement agencies’ crackdown on the city’s drug markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former supervisor and interim mayor Mark Farrell has called for a fentanyl state of emergency to leverage more resources and bring the National Guard to areas like the Tenderloin to further these efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our sanctuary city policy was never meant to harbor criminals or those peddling death on our streets. Mayor Breed has had six years to do everything in her power to make a meaningful difference on our streets, and her latest efforts are too little too late for San Francisco,” Farrell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Ahsha Safai, who immigrated to the U.S. from Iran as a child, is a strong supporter of the sanctuary city policy but said drug dealers should be held accountable as overdose rates continue at epidemic levels and neighborhoods struggle with the effects of street-level drug dealing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m sure there are a handful of cases of someone being legitimately trafficked. But ultimately, people are selling an extremely lethal weapon, this drug, on our streets,” he said. “And the feds are deciding to step in and resolve something that the local government and the mayor had let grow out of control, quite frankly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her part, Mayor London Breed has touted the work the federal government has done with her administration so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Cretan, a spokesperson for the mayor’s office, said that the city “needed support for prosecuting these crimes” and that Breed believes the federal government can be effective in doing so. “The devastation that fentanyl is having in our city and across this country is powerful,” Cretan said. “While we aren’t changing our [sanctuary city] laws here locally, there is a need for more enforcement to stop the flow of this drug.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Mayor Breed has had six years to do everything in her power to make a meaningful difference on our streets, and her latest efforts are too little too late for San Francisco,” Farrell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Ahsha Safai, who immigrated to the U.S. from Iran as a child, is a strong supporter of the sanctuary city policy but said drug dealers should be held accountable as overdose rates continue at epidemic levels and neighborhoods struggle with the effects of street-level drug dealing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m sure there are a handful of cases of someone being legitimately trafficked. But ultimately, people are selling an extremely lethal weapon, this drug, on our streets,” he said. “And the feds are deciding to step in and resolve something that the local government and the mayor had let grow out of control, quite frankly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her part, Mayor London Breed has touted the work the federal government has done with her administration so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Cretan, a spokesperson for the mayor’s office, said that the city “needed support for prosecuting these crimes” and that Breed believes the federal government can be effective in doing so. “The devastation that fentanyl is having in our city and across this country is powerful,” Cretan said. “While we aren’t changing our [sanctuary city] laws here locally, there is a need for more enforcement to stop the flow of this drug.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>After an emergency weekend meeting, the San Francisco school board announced its embattled superintendent will stay on the job — with the support of a team sent in by the mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the Sunday closed-door conversation, prompted by concerns about impending school closures, a severe budget crisis and operational struggles, Mayor London Breed said she would deploy what she calls a School Stabilization Team to “provide critical expertise to help stabilize the City’s public schools.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12000784/sf-teachers-students-face-uncertain-future-as-budget-crisis-threatens-closures\">rocky start to the year\u003c/a> for the San Francisco Unified School District.

His son, Terrell Rogers, was an anti-violence activist and founder of the Peacekeepers, a nonprofit group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rogers family was part of the Great Migration. Seeking relief from racial segregation, discrimination and lynchings, the totems of Jim Crow-era laws and racial terror, an estimated six million Black Americans left the south for more hospitable treatment in other regions from about 1910-1970.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hundreds of thousands of Black people relocated to California, settling in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland, securing wartime jobs and building communities. In San Francisco, Black people and other racial minorities were segregated in neighborhoods like the Fillmore, the Western Addition and Hunters Point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fillmore became known as the “Harlem of the West” because of the large number of Black businesses and entertainment venues in the area. Black people thrived for decades in the Fillmore until the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency embarked on one of the largest projects of urban renewal on the West Coast.
