It turns out that San Francisco wasn't shielding just juvenile illegal immigrants from deportation if they committed crimes - City Hall officials have discovered that there are 372 convicted adult felons on probation in the city who weren't reported to the feds.
The findings were reported in an audit overseen by the city's incoming probation chief, Patrick Boyd, ...
City officials repeatedly claimed that adult illegal immigrant felons were being turned over to federal officials - unlike juveniles, who for years were protected under what authorities now concede was a misinterpretation of the sanctuary law.
Officers with the city Probation Department are supposed to include defendants' immigration status in their pre-sentencing reports to judges. But "that policy wasn't being followed," at least not by everybody, Boyd said.
And apparently, no one was checking.
"My talks with staff indicate that there was some real confusion about how the sanctuary law was to be implemented, and that the department hadn't done a good job of making it clear what the expectation was," said Boyd, who was appointed by the San Francisco courts in late July to head the department.

About 700 were found to be noncitizens, and 1,200 more had a blank space next to the immigration status question.
Further review found that 372 were probably in the country illegally or had some type of problem with their immigration status.
The names have since been sent to the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Newsom has been in scramble mode on illegal immigrant offenders ever since The Chronicle reported in June that the city was flying underage crack dealers to their homelands rather than handing them over for formal deportation, in possible violation of federal law.

Newsome the coke addict is now going to protect the city from illegal alien crack dealers. Only San Franciscans would be impressed by this guy.
