A San Francisco supervisor's proposed legislation would make it more difficult for officials to hand over undocumented youths suspected of crimes to federal immigration authorities, a policy that, if approved, could have far-reaching impacts.
The proposed law would require that juvenile suspects be convicted of a felony before San Francisco officials contact federal immigration authorities - unless the suspect is charged as an adult.
Currently, immigration authorities are contacted at the time of a felony arrest - a change implemented last year by Mayor Gavin Newsom after the city's sanctuary city policy made national headlines. Newsom's change angered many in the city's immigrant community.
Supporters of Supervisor David Campos' proposed amendment to the 1989 sanctuary city ordinance say most juveniles arrested on suspicion of a felony later see those charges dropped to a lesser offense in court. They also argue that youths should be treated differently than adults and make the case that police would gain greater trust if the threat of splitting up families is removed.
The legislation appears to have enough support to pass the Board of Supervisors, which may be able to override a mayoral veto should that be the case.
Detractors warn that if passed, the proposal could open the city up to legal challenges. It could also impact policies nationwide.

San Fran protecting their ‘house boys’?
Pinche David Campos entered the United States illegally at the age of 14. He is a lawyer and “progressive civil rights advocate” who was on the San Francisco La Raza board, if I remember right, and on the SF Police Board as well, undermining their mission all the while. He has done as much as anyone in Northern California to destroy the Rule of Law and turn parts of it into a Third World hell hole, resembling more his native country than the United States.
