The incredible bravery exhibited by every officer, especially the SJPD Sergeant who was shot and hospitalized after confronting thedangerouscriminal, was on full display yesterday. Clearly this criminal had no regard for anyone's life and endangeredhundreds of innocent people during his multiple county crime spree. Our officers displayed courage as they ran toward gunfire and ultimately eliminated the threat. The injured Sgt. is in good spirits, and we are supporting him and his family in every way we can.
Apparently, they are protesting the removal of heinous murderers and rapists and criminals from a city that I can guarantee you, when you look at the list of the illegal criminals that ICE is removing from our communities every day, not a single person in those protests, and not a single person standing here that works in the mainstream media in Washington, D.C., would want those individuals in your neighborhood, in your community, around your children and around your families.
It should be obvious by now that the Trump administration's effort to remove large numbers of people who entered the country illegally is not only built on lies, but is doing far more harm than good. There is clear public support for Trump's effort to secure the border, but immigration reform has three parts, not one. It must include fixing the asylum system and creating more paths to legal status.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Crowds marched from the ICE building in downtown San Francisco in response to the shooting death a 37-year-old woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. The protesters were seen marching along Sansome Street just after 6 p.m. holding anti-ICE signs and yelling, "no ICE" and "say her name." Protesters were later told to disperse just before 7 p.m.
We've dreaded this moment since the early stages of this ice presence in Minneapolis. Not only is this a concern that we've had internally, we've been talking about it. They are not here to cause safety in this city. What they are doing is not to provide safety in America. What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust. They're ripping families apart. They're sowing chaos on our streets, and, in this case, quite literally killing people.
