This is the political culture that produced Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris. It also gave us Donald Trump.
A man from El Salvador in the U.S. illegally who sued San Francisco after police turned him over to immigration authorities in violation of the city’s sanctuary law is set to be awarded $190,000, his attorney said Thursday.
Pedro Figueroa-Zarceno, 33, reached the settlement agreement with the city attorney’s office, said Saira Hussain, a staff attorney at the Asian Law Caucus who represented Zarceno.
BTW, the Republican Majority House of Representatives yesterday passed legislation that would slightly reduce taxpayer subsidies to Democrat-Controlled Urban Zones (Sanctuary Cities) that violate Federal Immigration law.
Federal law trumps state or local laws in these instances and this should therefore never have happened.
Proof that we need tort law reform as well as immigration reform.
So, are these precious “sanctuary city” laws that are being passed by Dem cities going to be time bombs? Per the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution? If a city wants to hobble itself, that’s fine by me.
I agree with Tom. Tort reform is still badly needed.
Those two letters, “SF”, offer many fun opportunities as far as acronyms go; eg, at random —
Science Fiction, or
Superfluous Feds, or
San Francisco, or
Spoiled Freaks.
$190,000 can buy a shit ton of condoms and PREP. OK SF, how many cases of HIV/AIDS is an illegal alien worth?
For our dense Progressive reader’s, the answer is any number less than or equal to zero.
Bear in mind that Kate Steinle’s family, the woman who was murdered in cold blood in front of her father while they were touring the SF waterfront by an illegal alien who had been deported many times for felonies but SF kept hiding him in their city under Kamala Harris’s created Sanctuary City Law, were barred from filing a lawsuit against the city of SF.
So illegals can sue SF but crime victims of illegals, cannot sue.
How is that for “justice” California style?
And when Kamala Harris becomes POTUS after Trump and makes the US a Sanctuary Nation and the same situations end up applying, how long before Mr and Mrs Middle America tired of the BS and injustice ends up either caving in and going along with it or else rising up and taking members of the current political class, out of power, permanently.
There is no justice in SF and never will be, nor in California and will be worse under Governor Gavin Newsom for the state as well as the US under President Kamala Harris.
Local TV news channel up in Lake Tahoe the other night was saying that gun owners in CA have a “temporary” reprieve from having to turn in their clips holding 10 rounds. But he went on to announce it in a way that suggests, that won’t last for long and he takes it for granted.
All across Northern California, people pretty much are yoked and chained and take it for granted now, this is the way it will be and soon, the US, once Kamala Harris becomes the next new Obama.
