San Bernardino County officials vowed Thursday not to become a dumping ground for San Francisco criminals, saying they may sue that city for exporting juvenile offenders to local group homes.
"The county is exploring every option to recoup all our police expenses," said county Supervisor Gary Ovitt. "This lunacy needs to stop now."
Ovitt, joined by other officials at a news conference in San Bernardino, expressed anger over recent revelations that San Francisco sent illegal immigrant cocaine dealers from Honduras to group homes in Yucaipa.
Eight juveniles walked away from the homes. One was recaptured in San Francisco this week, and the others remain at large.
Officials in San Francisco acknowledged sending the recent group of Hondurans and said others had been transported down in the past. They are still trying to determine exactly how many.
"San Francisco has a legal and moral obligation to notify us, and they didn't," said Michelle Scray, assistant chief probation officer for San Bernardino County. "We have requested a list from San Francisco of any other offenders placed in our county. They assured us they would not be sending any more."
For years, San Francisco, a sanctuary city since 1989, has been shielding juvenile offenders from federal authorities, either escorting them to their home countries at city expense or transporting them to group homes, including locations in San Bernardino County.
Mayor Gavin Newsom reversed the policy Wednesday saying minors in the country illegally who commit crimes will be turned over to immigration authorities.
The city has spent $2.3 million to house 162 illegal immigrant youths since 2005, and an additional $38,955 to fly juvenile offenders to Honduras, American Samoa and Mexico over the last two years, the mayor said.

you can add riverside co
to that suit.
the state of california dumps their felons in desert hot springs
and sex perps in hemet,
rendering the communities unlivable.
I would love the author of this article to explain to me how shipping people to American Samoa comes under the heading of illegal aliens? People from American Samoa hold US passports last time I looked (oh yeah - I’ve been to Pago Pago!)
I always thought that I wanted to go back to my mountain home at Arrowhead. I guess not!

Typical of the liberal commies that run San Freakcisco.
San Francisco? Morals? Surely you jest!
Export criminals to another county. Makes the statistics look good for the ‘Touchy Feely Crowd’.
Don’t you just love Liberal Math.
Tell your Congress Critters how you feel about the continual presence of illegal aliens in our sovereign nation....

Hold Their Feet to the Fire
in Washington DC
September 9-11, 2008
Her name is Michelle.
Hold their feet to the fire Gary.
i haven’t been up there in a long time.
so, i cannot speak to your issue.
imo, i’m sure there those that will disagree with me,
the west end of riverside county is going to be a gang-infested slum.
they’re filling that large valley—what? 30 miles by 40 miles—with houses
and not building freeways. uh duh!
they needed to build a n-s freeway from moreno valley thru’ hemet into n sd co., and at least two e-w freeways.
moreno valley sux. i drive through and see 20-30 yr old men with do rags and mexican gang members walking the streets, or pushing baby carriages with the girlfriends.
san jacinto has the res with gun standoffs with the sheriffs, and scientology near by.
hemet has new housing developments with slums and sexual perps just released from prison. romoland and the i-15 are given to meth production.
my unofficial analysis is the the whole valley, maybe with parts of temecula exluded, will go slum. si.
San FRancisco.. exports illegals to SBernardino Co.
Lawless
Reckless
Clueless
and the Mayor says he wants to be Gub.
what a joke.
“and the Mayor says he wants to be Gub?”
yea, well I “want” to win the Lottery! LOL
Where is Reagan when we really need him!
Unfortunately, the leaders we need to “take out the trash” in the cities, states & federal levels of government are not around.
