On January 28, San Francisco's top officials gathered to demonstrate unity in support of sanctuary laws protecting undocumented immigrants amid the Trump administration's deportation threats. The city's Sanctuary City Ordinance prohibits cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins highlighted her personal experience with familial separation due to immigration issues, assuring safety for immigrants reporting crimes. However, Public Defender's Angela Chan criticized Jenkins for referring drug cases to federal prosecutors, leading to potential deportations, claiming this undermines local policies designed to protect marginalized communities.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said, 'My office is doing nothing in coordination with any federal immigration enforcement whatsoever,' emphasizing a commitment to sanctuary laws.
Angela Chan criticized, 'The district attorney's ongoing collusion with the federal government to funnel people into immigration detention and deportation is unconscionable,' highlighting conflicts in local policies.
