SAN FRANCISCO -- A suspected illegal immigrant - free after being shielded from deportation by San Francisco officials despite committing two gang-related assaults as a juvenile - is now facing charges that he tried to stab a man to death in San Mateo County, authorities say.
The case of Eric Antonio Uc-Cahun, now 19, is the second in which a youth offender protected from deportation in San Francisco has gone on to be arrested for a violent crime as an adult. The San Mateo County stabbing was especially vicious, authorities said - a top prosecutor said the victim had been "gutted, like you gut a pig."
Uc-Cahun's history of youth offenses in the city was similar to that of Edwin Ramos, a 21-year-old Salvadoran native facing triple-murder charges in connection with the June slayings of a San Francisco man and two of his sons on an Excelsior district street.
"How many of these people are there who were the beneficiaries of this process?" asked Joseph Russoniello, the U.S. attorney for Northern California, who has been critical of the city's practice of shielding of immigrants from deportation.
"This is what happens when the best intentions are misapplied," Russoniello said. "If there was any justification for this program, cases like this certainly undermine that expectation."
Both Uc-Cahun and Ramos were in San Francisco's juvenile justice system at least twice during Mayor Gavin Newsom's time in office

The only possible positive to this whole ugly mess is that (hopefully) Newsome will not be foisted on the rest of the state in 2010, when Ah-nold Schwarzen-Kennedy is termed out.
This one makes Dukakis’ “Willie Horton” incident look almost tame in comparison.
The CCTimes takes too long to load on my webtv but I was trying to read the story of the Richmond Man who died after waiting in the ER for two hours for medical care.
Did you read that article anything interesting?

Just doing the jobs Americans won’t do.
That sweet baby-face is a would-be killer ???
Oh, wait, there was once a “Babyface” Nelson........
never mind..........
I’m impressed with the SF Chronicle. They haven’t turned loose of these sanctuary stories. And not to make too much of the unscientific sampling, but based on the comments, at least SOME San Franciscans “get it.”
Years ago when Californians were hiding Salvadorans in their private and church owned basements, most of us knew nothing good was going to come of it. Now, the “kindness” is being repaid by MS13 and other ruthless gangs of worthless breathing tu*ds!
Well, why don't we just go ask him.
More madness.
The sheeple of SF will do nothing..until a major happening occurs and they will blame Bush.
He’s just misunderstood and discriminated against. San Francisco should make things right by giving him a job on their city council.

what redeeming qualities could this pond scum have?
It is a good thing they are not flaunting highway speed limits or pollution standards. They could lose federal funding or be fined.
Hopefully the family of the victim sues the city and the mayor. Or even better, charge him for aiding and abetting or as an accomplice
