Interim San Francisco Mayor Mark Farrell is reportedly asking California for another $7 million so his city can defend every illegal immigrant that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detains in the Bay Area. ICE reportedly detained more than 200 illegal immigrants last week in sweeps across the Bay Area, and Farrell, according to KTVU, is partnering with Assemblyman Phil Ting to request $7 million in state funds for legal defense services. San Francisco will reportedly spend about $11 million this year on legal defense services, which represents a 236-percent increase.
Our goal in this funding is to make sure that here in Northern California, and the court is in San Francisco physically, every single immigrant that comes before the court that the Trump administration tries to deport has legal representation, Farrell reportedly said last week.

Make sure they’re expensive immigration lawyers. The people of SF deserve the best. And instruct them to make lots of frivolous motions and requests for delays and continuances too. Gotta use every legal option available, and to hell with anybody that gripes that that means that the poop doesn’t get cleaned off the sidewalks. Haters!
Maybe he can have a tawdry one-night stand with the Oakland mayor.
Maybe Mexico will pay the legal costs.
I say just leave them. Arrest all of these politicians.
I'm sure Jeff Flake(y) and Juan McCain will be willing to make that appropriation.
Didn't he get a government paid defense lawyer?
The very worst part of his idea is that millions of Californians DO NOT live in the SF area-—they are paying taxes to the State & this jerk wants STATE taxes to defend illegals in his area.
IF this isn’t one of the most outrageous & ridiculous demands from a Liberal, I don’t know what is. He is demanding money from people who absolutely DO NOT want all these illegals contaminating the state so he can defend them!!!
They are not just criminals for crossing illegally into this country-—they are CRIMINALS because they have done other unlawful things against the society and culture of the USA.
Anyone who stays in California with this kind of mental illness practiced by your “leaders’ deserves whatever befalls them.
Xavier Becerra could launder the Mexican money through the Attorney General’s office in the form of a grant, I suppose.
Arrest so many illegal aliens in the Bay Area that those cities bankrupt themselves with lawyer fees.
AZ is being set up to elect McSallycain as the next Amnesty Senator.
These people are NUTS! When are the citizens of San Fransicko going get fed up and put a stop to this insanity?
We conservatives in California do our best. They pretty much write us off. The folks in Sacramento are nuts and there seems to be no stopping them. One bright light - one of the Tech Guys (I don’t remember his name) is moving down here from the Bay Area bc he is conservative, and he’ll be bringing his company with him. There has been some talk about So Cal becoming a conservative center. Would that it would happen.
Yep. Seems like the illegals are more law abiding than our politicians.
I’m surprised he didn’t demand the $7 million from the federal government.

Apparently, after the Kate Steinle murder and trial debacle, learning has not occurred.

LEARNED? It seems people need to re-read the actual outcome, by *JURY*, in that case.
The land of fruits-n-nuts should be re-named stuck on stupid
The big question is how can these people, with no legal job, afford to live in the Bay Area where rents are over 3k/month for a one bedroom.
Mark Farrell does not sound like a woman’s name to me.
Federal and state housing subsidies?
The lawyers clean up all details...for $7 million.
