Ending Mass Incarceration One Murdering Illegal Alien at a Time

SF Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi wants to tear down our borders and the walls of our prisons

The hostility of the radical left-wing sheriff of San Francisco to America’s prison system—not just to federal immigration law—may have been a factor in the decision to release a Mexican illegal alien who went on to murder young Kate Steinle.

Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi (pronounced: Meer-kah-ree-me) is taking heat for releasing Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, a 45-year-old illegal alien with a second grade education who reportedly has seven felony convictions and has been deported from the U.S. five times. Federal officials had characterized the man who went on to shoot Steinle at Pier 14 on July 1 as an “enforcement priority” and filed an “immigration detainer” asking jail officials to hold him until they could take custody.

Mirkarimi refused to keep Lopez-Sanchez under lock and key because San Francisco as a policy openly defies federal law by refusing requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to hold over prisoners. San Francisco is part of the “sanctuary cities” movement that provides havens for illegal aliens by obstructing federal immigration enforcement efforts. The sheriff is an outspoken supporter of that movement.

Lib/zit Mirkarimi came out w/ guns blazing--defending sanctuary city policies in no uncertain terms after the Steinle killing. Yet, when the creep sees an illegal felon he gets all soft and sentimental. Now, if was doing the job he's paid for on behalf of the safety of the city's citizens----he could have held the killer felon for spitting on the sidewalk---or some similar ordinance.
