Background
SF DA Brooke Jenkins is using All Hands on Deck to do an End Run around the City and State Sanctuary Laws
DA Brooke Jenkins is using the All Hands on Deck operation to pass immigrants accused of low-level drug offenses to ICE, in violation of both the city and state’s Sanctuary laws. Here is how it works: A person who has been arrested by SFPD for a drug crime shows up for their initial court hearing. While waiting in the hallway for their hearing to begin, either Federal Marshalls or plainclothes DEA agents appear, and they arrest the person for the exact same charges, but this time under Federal law. The person is taken to federal prison and the DA drops the state charges. If this person is an immigrant, they are offered a deal: they can either face Federal prosecution for their drug offenses, which are typically much stricter and can carry heavy jail time, or they can take a “Fast Track” deal in which they plead guilty, are sentenced to time served plus one day, and are handed over to ICE the next day.,
In the past, ICE would then deport them back to their home country. Given recent changes in Federal policies, it’s not clear what has happened to the people who have been “Fast Tracked” in the last few months. Regardless, this collaboration between the DA’s office and ICE directly violates our city’s Sanctuary ordinance.[1][2]
