Senator Dianne Feinstein has this press release:
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today urged San Francisco to commit to participating in the Department of Homeland Security’s new Priority Enforcement Program, which focuses federal immigration enforcement efforts on convicted criminals and public safety threats. Feinstein also released the following statement:Conflict in the Democrat party ! No word yet on this story from illegal "front man" Luis Guiterrez.
“I have been looking into the circumstances related to the tragic killing of Kathryn Steinle. The suspect has been convicted of 10 crimes, including four drug felonies, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement had filed what is known as a detainer asking the San Francisco Sheriff's Department to hold Mr. Sanchez for deportation. The Sheriff’s Department failed to respond to that detainer and did not notify ICE when the individual was released.
“I strongly believe that an undocumented individual, convicted of multiple felonies and with a detainer request from ICE, should not have been released. We should focus on deporting convicted criminals, not setting them loose on our streets. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I am looking at whether additional federal legislation may be necessary.
“I have written a letter to Mayor Lee suggesting he participate in DHS’s Priority Enforcement Program, as the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors agreed to do in a recently adopted resolution. This program will enable federal law enforcement to better cooperate with state and local counterparts to take custody of individuals who pose a danger to public safety before they are released.”
