San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi may be the most dangerous man in America. He’s a convicted criminal that refuses to enforce federal law on immigration, and it is costing American lives.
On Tuesday, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson publicly vented his anger at Mirkarimi and others for their policy against cooperating with immigration officials, and called his stance “unacceptable”.
Mirkarimi, a liberal Democrat that helped found the Green Party in California, has previously been charged with a number of crimes, including domestic battery, child endangerment, and dissuading a witness. The mayor of San Fransisco called for his resignation in 2011, which Mirkarimi refused to tender.
The city’s sanctuary policy has come under scrutiny since the killing of Kate Steinle as she walked with her father and a family friend along the San Francisco waterfront in July.
The shooting triggered a national debate over immigration after it was revealed the man charged in the killing, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, was out on the streets after Mirkarimi refused a request from federal immigrations authorities to keep him locked up.
“It is counterproductive to public safety to have this level of resistance to working with our immigration enforcement personnel,” he said during a talk at The Commonwealth Club in downtown San Francisco.
He added, “It is simply in my judgment not acceptable to have no policy of cooperation with immigration enforcement. We’re all interested in getting criminals off the streets.”
San Francisco’s sanctuary law does not prohibit local law enforcement from informing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they’ve arrested someone in the country illegally for a felony offense or detained a person with prior felony convictions.
Still, Mirkarimi reckless policy remains picking and choosing when he wants to cooperate. And illegals know they have a safe and protected home in his city.

Why can’t he be recalled?….Let the citizens decide!
Since when does Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson support the immigration laws that are intended to protect the borders of the USA? The many thousands of illegal aliens that the alias, Barack H. Obama, has permitted into the USA, from Mexico alone, do not seem to have been stopped by Mr. Johnson. Jeh Johnson is more than likely angry that Mirkarimi is not “obeying” Homeland Security decrees. What is Jeh Johnson doing to capture the hundreds of Juan Lopez-Sanchez types who wander the streets from D.C. to San Francisco, more of whom are now entering the USA as “asylum seekers” from Moslem countries in the Middle East ?
However, that the citizens of San Francisco permit S.F. to remain a sanctuary city reflects a very lazy, perhaps stupid, citizenry – – .
What about all the the U.S.illegal aliens (i.e. U.S. military) in so many countries of the world against those countries wishes, and they really are killing many people.
Get all those out first, then you may have the moral authority to witter about a little local problem.
We established bases in Germany and Japan after the war for obvious reasons. Any other locations we are at were at the country’s behest, we did not force our way in. Go huff on your bong and re-examine ObamaFail before attacking America. NO country can survive if it can’t control it’s border. Look at the world and their reaction to the Muslim effluence washing over their borders, we have that and much more. Buy a clue, rent a brain.
You get the government you deserve and Californicators deserve him and much more. Stupid should hurt. Bad.
Ah yes, another proud member of the International Amoral Slug Society.
If the people of San Francisco keep electing him they will get what they deserve.
I believe folks need to be educated to how pot
is not a medicine. Cannabis is a flower as well as an herb.
Lord put it here. He wants it to grow and if
He set it here, what provides the government the
right to say that God isn’t right?
