A scuttled White House proposal to release immigrant detainees in San Francisco and other sanctuary cities triggered a fierce backlash Friday from Democrats including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose office called the idea despicable.
The Washington Post first reported that the White House proposed sending the detainees to sanctuary cities, including Pelosi's district, twice in the last six months. The proposal was first floated in November amid reports of a large migrant caravan from Central America making its way to the southern border. The idea was again considered in February, amid the standoff with Congress over a border wall.
The extent of this Administrations cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated, Pelosi spokeswoman Ashley Etienne said in a statement Friday. Using human beingsincluding little childrenas pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable, and in some cases, criminal.
She added: The American people have resoundingly rejected this Administrations toxic anti-immigrant policies, and Democrats will continue to advance immigration policies that keep us safe and honor our values.
Officials stressed that the plan never went anywhere.

Kennebunkport, ME.
Santa Barbara, CA.
Just outside Zuckerburg, HA. Portland, OR (lily-white, btw.)
And a couple of others.
What’s the harm, Nancy? After all, the sanctuary cities signed up for more illegals... pretty much by definition. Or is your complain an overt acknowledgement that we’ve been right all along about border security?
“complaint”
Trump says , you want play do you Nancy so lets play
Pelosi Galore says she has the same power as Trump, so she must have been in on the discussion. Her hand wringing must be theater, as usual.
Hope her grand kids get measles.
Democrats are upset because they need their new voters scattered around and not concentrated in already liberal areas. They need them to overwhelm conservative voters.
This would be really unfair to the rest of the country. I know from reading many expert economists that immigrants always mean lots of economic growth. How can we deprive the rest of the country of this vibrant wealth production?
Stephen Miller has them exposed here. Brilliant.
This along with baning wire transfers to counties in Latin America. This way these amazing people who do the jobs we won’t holding this nation together can spend the money locally in the sanctuary cities as not this place and undue burden on those cities.
Sending them to Sommerville could be considered cruel and unusual punishment. Better to drop them in Wellesley, Weston, Longmeadow...
Since the "Pope" is a crypto-Marxist heretic elected by a cabal of homosexuals and Communist infiltrators, it's fitting to ask, "How many divisions does the Pope have?"
I am bothered at the quick this is illegal response. Fire the idiots that said this. No one has suggested how it is legal to release these illegals in Phoenix but not San Francisco. I cannot imagine it is. Else both are.
Trump has exposed the left as lying hypocrites on this. Win win for him.

Trump is just trying to make them safer, agreeing with Pelosi ...
Why not, they are always asking us; "Who is going to pick the fruit?"
Better, a Sea Stallion, our largest troop helo.
I don't get Pelousy complaining-this is exactly what she wants.
Keep voting democrat California.
The lefties sure went into NIMBY mode real fast when they realized these Third World illiterate and itinerant people could be “lovingly” placed in their communities.
Perfect!
How fun to watch the reaction from the native Hawaiians.
I swear I thought of the same tactic months ago. I wonder how many more of us deplorables thought about it too.
As if it’s not obvious that Democrats are the party of hypocrisy, all one has to do to prove it is to force them to abide by their own rules. They demand sanctuary cities & states, so Trump says he’ll send all illegals to their sanctuaries and watch them howl in protest. They want to force Trump to release his tax returns, so force everyone in Congress to release their tax returns and watch them howl in protest. They want to outlaw our gun rights, so force them to give up their armed security and watch them howl in protest. I can go on and on, but what’s the use. My liberal friends and relatives will never get past their visceral reactionary views no matter how hypocritical their socialist idols are.
