Immigrant sanctuary plays role in San Francisco sheriff race

AP reports:

The immigration debate is front and center in the San Francisco sheriff's race following a killing in which a Mexican man in the country illegally has been charged.

Incumbent Ross Mirkarimi faces a challenge Tuesday from a 30-year veteran of the San Francisco Sheriff's Department.

Vicki Hennessy says she wants to restore credibility to the department after several embarrassments since Mirkarimi took office in 2012.

Death by illegals as an issue. Imagine that.
