US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that his administration would maintain a pause on asylum decisions "for a long time." "We don't want those people," Trump said. "You know why we don't want them? Because many have been no good, and they shouldn't be in our country." The president said there was "no time limit" for the pause. The decision followed the shooting near the White House on Wednesday, which resulted in the death of a 20-year-old National Guard member and left another critically wounded.
Mayor Daniel Lurie's District 4 appointee, Beya Alcaraz, was the only San Francisco supervisor appointee in at least 30 years to enter the job with zero experience in either politics or government, a Mission Local analysis found. Alcaraz abruptly resigned from her post on Thursday night after controversy. Hours earlier, Mission Local published text messages in which Alcaraz said she paid her former pet store workers "under the table," skimped on taxes, and underreported income.
