| San Francisco sheriff, mayor say they won't help federal agents deport illegal immigrants |
| 2020-02-20 |
| [FOX] San Francisco's newly minted sheriff said his officers won't help federal authorities deport undocumented immigrants despite increasing pressure from the Trump administration to crack down on people living illegally in U.S. sanctuary cities. Paul Miyamoto, California's first Asian American sheriff, said going after undocumented immigrants seeking solace is not a priority. "Our department is not involved in immigration enforcement," he told KTVU2. "We feel that it is a federal matter, and our realm of interest is public safety, and you can't really have a safe community if the community members are afraid to come to us to report crimes." He added that he's not aware of the city ever turning someone in custody over to federal authorities and that he's not starting now. |

| #3 Waiting for the Big One by flashing your middle index finger may not be the best route to take. I'm sure no one will hold up recovery monies with procedural delays in Congress. I'm sure Sacramento can cover you rather than Washington. What's another couple hundred billion in debt to them anyway. |
