Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Tuesday criticized San Francisco's policy of not cooperating fully with immigration officials, calling it counterproductive and unacceptable.

The city's sanctuary policy has come under scrutiny since the shooting in July of Kate Steinle as she walked with her father and a family friend along the San Francisco waterfront. The shooting triggered a national debate over immigration after it was revealed the man charged in the killing, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, had been deported five times to his native Mexico and was out on the streets after San Francisco officials disregarded a request from immigrations authorities to keep him locked up.

"It is counterproductive to public safety to have this level of resistance to working with our immigration enforcement personnel," Johnson said during a talk at The Commonwealth Club in downtown San Francisco.

DHS is IN CHARGE of bringing in the invaders.

Johnson didn’t even know the NAME of the girl shot on the Wharf.

The notion he’s outraged is ridiculous.

Proactive CYA, ...as you point out:

Send the US Marshalls in and lock each and every one of them up.

This could have been done long before Kate's murder.

“Without Trump this would have never happened.”

No kidding. I can’t believe that those sounds came out of his mouth.

You are right. He could care less, and anything he pontificates about, is just empty, useless rhetoric. Trump said our leaders are very stupid. I do not agree. These suck bags are not stupid. They are extremely anti American. They know exactly what they are doing. This POS is no more outraged than the man in the moon.

Hmmm how long has San Fran’s policy been in place? Yeah right. They’re just finding out about it and are outraged. Lol

MS-13 member that is an illegal shot and killed a Father and his 2 Sons in 2008 in SF in a case of mistaken identity.

Cut off all Federal funding instead of just talking.

Top # 5. This could have been done long before Kate’s murder.

Well, boychek. It would have been done earlier if the woman had been black. Obama would have then ordered air strikes on SF and other sanctuary cities. (Oh what the hell am I smoking?).

Johnson and Obama don’t give a good crap. Period. If you’re not black (and a thug like Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown), our Marxist leaders wouldn’t even know about it.

Interesting how he avoided scolding DC for the same thing.

All talk and no walk. Expect nothing from this.

This is worse than doing nothing.

This is doing nothing and acting like you are doing something. All talk. He could care less.
