Murders in San Francisco Threatens Sanctuary Status

San Francisco is the quintessential "sanctuary city" in which all official business, especially law enforcement, is done without regard to legal status. A recent road-rage murder by an undocumented Salvadorean gang member has raised questions and calls for the Justice Department to take over. (See AP dispatch.) The accused had previous run-ins with the law, and critics claim that the city's sanctuary prevented authorities from turning him over for deportation sooner.
