another problem with the detainers there is no legal standard. they're not based on reasonable suspicion and no prowbl cause is needed to issue the detainer. that's the problem. they have no process in law. when they are issued and the person is held a second longer than the criminal matters allows them to be held it's a due process violation under the constitution and protects people regardless of the immigration status. that's why sheriffs across the country have been sued for these detainers. the sheriff in l.a. lee baca is being sued and another sheriff was sued and responding to detainers and inappropriately and holding them extra time beyond the 43 hours and these are lawtds that could happen because there is no legal basis for holding someone. they're not criminal warrants. i also wanted to talk about that we're not the first city to do this and several people mentioned this and several years ago santa clara county and cook county illinois passed a policy that in effect responds to no ice detainers. what they found as a result it increased

it cost california taxpayers $65 million for ice detainers. with due process for all ordinance imagine how many other erica canes could be saved by investing even a fraction of those dollars into our san francisco sheriff's department programs. with sheriff mirkarimi taking the time to support an african-american woman and other clients participating in sheriff's programs what a wonderful place san francisco could be. thank you. >> okay. next speaker please. >> good afternoon. my name is milla [inaudible]. i'm the executive director and immigration attorney at legal services. i am standing here with marie vincent [inaudible], a community member and client of ours. marie is a immigration attorney with us. [inaudible], ultimately [inaudible] who is the new one and nina graiber who is a volunteer attorney. we are a nonprofit organization here in san francisco and represent immigrants through legal empower mentd and policy advocacy. we are here today to enthusiastically support this ordinance. the way it is written, clean, straightforward, and doe

still in 2011 the san francisco sheriff's department had detained and people were transferred to ice were in the numbers of over 600 people. because i think what the sheriff enditioned was implementing an approach that would begin to get to the direction that we are here today. when i came into office and when i was able to craft an internal policy that would seriously build upon, and we had considerably so on what was started by sheriff mike hennessy, and we have seen a drop in these detainers by a sheriff initiated policy which happens to be the most progressive for lack of better phrasing, sheriff initiated policy in the united states, a drop of ice detainers by over 60%, and i believe that works in tandem i think with the goals and philosophy of san francisco city leaders and laws that were passed that we arrive at a place where we keep public safety of paramount concern for all members of the local criminal justice system, city hall, and of course public, but be aware that civil immigration detainers really do not have a place in our municipal criminal justice system, and that w

in contrast ice detainers resulted in a intraigz of families. according to the 2011 warren institute study it's estimated that more than 1/3 targeted have a u.s. spouse citizen or child complying with civil immigration detainers thus results in the deportation of potential aspiring u.s. citizens. according to the 2011 warren study latinos make up 93% detained through this program but account for seven 7% for undocumented population in the u.s. and they have a disproportionate impact on latinos. the city has enacted laws to prevent residents from getting in the system but this is the responsibility of the federal government. a news release stated that deportations have reached record figures each year and according to the report "immigration enforcement in the united states rise of formal machinery" the federal government spends more on this more than all criminal law enforcement combined. local funds should not be intermingled with these effort and not expanded on the these efforts and this undermines policing community strategies. i would like

we decide who gets detained, how many get detained within the overall resources that congress appropriates. >> if anywhere can be called ground zero for for profit detention, it's texas. the country's first private prison opened in houston in 1984 to detain immigrants. today, the lone star state is home to at least 30 privately operatefederal facilities. one of them is the south texas detention complex the pearsall, where nearly 2,000 men are held. this massive ice facility south of san antonio is praited by geo. -- is operated by geo. >> it's not much to be here. not much to be here at all. just like jail. >> nas, or mohamed mustaco, is a singh forian are national. in 2007 naz warvetion sentenced to years in prison. there he met and eventually married his wife, hope. their future seemed bright but that changed abruptly on march 30th, 2011. >> i went to the door and opened and this ice agent with badge and gun and i was like well what's going on and they say are you a citizen, i say no. okay you have to come with us, you know, you have to be detained. >> and he said immigration police are

and immigration detainer and there is language from the district attorney's office that he asked and i hope he was here to offer support and didn't do so but i think it's important to add the language added by the district attorney. i will read it into the record if i can find it right away. so the language is "the intent of this chapter is address request for non mandatory civil immigration detainers. nothing should be construed matters other than those related to federal immigration detainers and in all other respects. local law enforcement agencies can collaborate with federal authorities for public safety and not limited to participation and joint criminal investigations period" that is the amendment i am bringing forward for this technical amendment. >> thank you supervisor avalos. if we could have a motion to accept the amendments of the whole and amend the ordinance outlined by supervisor avalos. we have a motion by supervisor mar. we can take that motion without objection. now on the ord nandz as amended we have a motion by supervisor mar. if we could take that without object

. >> during the time i was detained in the detention center i was forced to take the blood pressure test one in the morning and afternoon and after two weeks everyday. >> (speaking foreign language). >> when asked the drs. they take the blood pressure test of me rather than the real sick people and the doctor says we have direction from the leader we need all those tests. >> (speaking foreign language). >> this also what a physical expansion every month including 5 indicators. >> (speaking foreign language). >> the leader of the detention center told you that every year he has a pay millions for those tests. >> (speaking foreign language). >> i hope this can actually be started for you to understand how about how the organize harvesting and highway people are prosecuted in china. thank you >> (speaking foreign language). >> except in my own experience when when we were detained people were forced to do a blood test. >> (speaking foreign language). >> due to the traditionally belief most of the chinese keep their body intact so the wise minister mid that most of the organizes they use are

now the greenpeace activists so were detained last week having ignored russian authorities warnings while trying to climb the russian oil platform greenpeace says they acted in peaceful protest against oil drilling in the arctic russian authorities believe whatever their intentions the activists technically broke the law russian authorities maintain that the greenpeace international ship had ignored many warnings including not to enter the restricted northern sea route and that a decision was made to detain the activists when they started to climb the platform using ropes and grapples of course having carried out this protest greenpeace has drawn a lot of attention to their cause and some suggest they probably knew what to expect given all those multiple warnings even warning shots that were fired but the activists went on anyway possibly knowing how much public attention the action would generate especially ahead of the arctic conference this week where leaders of arctic nations experts with you know who together with experts from oil industry were discussing ways to explore the re

rashad ismael has two relatives detained at guantanamo. his brother sadeq was released back to yemen in 2007, after six years. rashad says that a few yemenis have joined up with al qaeda after returning from guantanamo. but he blames poverty & rampant unemployment, and american counter- terrorism policy. >> and what is your current relationship with al qaeda in yemen? care of our family, take care of our children and to get 7.35 raise up to 12.35 or 15. next. o hint that talks with al qaeda are on the table. but in may, as he laid out the next steps in america's war, the president announced his intention to renew efforts to close guantanamo - and lifted the moratorium on returning detainees to yemen. [...] given my administration's relentless pursuit of al qaeda's leadership, there is no justification beyond politics for congress to prevent us from closing a facility that should never have been opened. president obama has the legal authority to transfer many detainees out of guantanamo - but his critics say he has so far lacked the politic

moving on now to the restricted ordering seat and that a decision was made to detain the activists when they started to climb the russian oil pot for using ropes and grapples of course having carried out this protest greenpeace has drawn a lot of attention to their causes some suggest they probably knew what to expect given multiple warnings so but the activists went on anyway possibly knowing how much public attention the action would generate an aid has generated a lot of attention especially ahead of the arctic conference this week where the leaders of the arctic nations together with experts from one industry were discussing ways to explore the resources in the arctic as well as ways to minimize the damage to the environment and the russian president was asked during a conference of fog the detained activists and he said obviously they are not tyrants but greenpeace has clearly violated international law by sending activists from the shipping inflatable boats to try to board the ship or the president suggested that the activists cheat trues other forms of dialogue ishmael anything y

well we know the course decision on one of the thirty activists currently detained in the russian city of more months is a russian citizen and he'll be holding cost city for two months while the case is being investigated the judge is said that he could not be released on bail because the judge has a concern that he's a frequent traveler here and he might leave the country now on board that greenpeace international ship they were called the arctic sunrise they were citizens of seventeen countries including including russia canada and the u.s. by the way the captain of the ship is a u.s. citizen investigators of russia's prosecutor's office want the activists arrested so that they can go ahead with the investigation of the incident at the russian oil platform in the arctic now if the greenpeace activists were detained last week having ignored russian authorities warnings while trying to climb the platform the russian oil platform greenpeace says they acted in peaceful protest against oil drilling in the arctic russian authorities believe whatever their intentions the activist technicall

he has also been repeatedly detained for doing his job. he has never been charged with a crime and police took me to the police station after they photographed him from 90 feet away. they say he interrupted them doing their jobs. we take a look at the tense relationship between cops and photographers. >> i am a photographer spending a lot of time in hollywood. >> when he began taking photos, and never thought that his camera would get him into trouble with police. >> a number of times i have been detained for taking pictures. he was taken to a hollywood police station after photographing officers from 100 feet a way. cameras show how far he was from the apartment building the police were responding to. they were so irritated with him that they went through the trouble of coming down this long driveway, hopping into their patrol car, and driving down the street just to confront him. officers drove another half block where they met him here and put him in handcuffs. >> i was handcuffed to a bench. brought to the interrogation room. all of wh

the judge will make the decision. >> there's two reasons why you order a child detained whether he'sger to himself or others or there's an unlikelihood that he'll come back to court for the second hearing. if you find they are a danger, you detain them and if they're not, then you release them to the parent. >> brown. >> right now, i feel like i'm going to go home. like my probation know how good i been doing since i been home from boys school so i may go home today. hopefully. >> you ready, your honor? right this way, roger. stay to your left, young man. go stand next to your attorney. >> awl supposed to be helping me. it ain't nobody helping me. by the end of the day, my dogs were barking. they used to get really tired.
