san francisco city attorney's office over the years has stood through dark times. when no one thought marriage equality was possible, when donald trump came after san francisco and our sanctuary city status. when mayor london breed needed legal advice to figure out how to defend our city against a new novel virus called covid-19, the legal attorneys at the san francisco attorney's office, they have wealded their legal sword time after time for city and country and i can't wait to roll up my sleeves the work along side them. (applause) my final thought, my hope really is for my 5-year-old son lucas. as we were discussing in the car today, as i drove him to drop him off at kindergarten and promised my wife i would drop him off every day, you know, lucas doesn't yet understand the work that i do, the work that we all do here at city hall. but lucas does understand that it's not right that too many people live on our streets in the middle of the rain. lucas understands that when you look up at the sky, the color of the sky should not be dark orange. and lucas understands that when you learn about something that is wrong, it's our responsibility to not just speak up but to do some

senator thune: you served 10 years in the california bay area next to san francisco, a well-known sanctuary city that flouts immigration law and refuses to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement agents. if confirmed, you will oversee the enforcement of immigration law at our borders. do you support sanctuary cities and what message do they send to those seeking to enter the united states illegally? mr. magnus: senator, thank you for the question. as a chief for two decades, my priority has always been public safety. i appreciate how decisions around sanctuary cities are ultimately political decisions, but as a police chief, i'm certainly in this position where if confirmed, my first and primary obligation is to follow the law. that is what i has always done in the past and that is what i would commit to doing going forward. sen. thune: the biden administration is issuing these so-called notices to report and leaked documents show that tens of thousands of documents have been it'll -- admitted to the united states with few requirements other than a check in with customs and immigration en

sanctuary city. you know, madam speaker. you live toward san diego and i think san diego is a beautiful place. i love san francisco. i thought san francisco was the only east coast city america -- california had. i still remember. i was in the sixth grade and i saved up $400. that year was tough. my family didn't have money for a vacation. i told my mom and dad, i would give them the $400 if we can go to san francisco and we can go tour alcatraz. some of my fondest memories. my dad driving the van. my sister, my brother, my mom. my dad was a fire chief. he was straight laced. we were yelling at him. we were hungry. we wanted mcdonald's. he cuts across all these lanes. he gets pulled over. he never gets a ticket in his life. you know how a father can punish you with the look of an eye? oh, i'll never forget that moment. we went to san francisco. we went down to the wharf. we went to lombard street. drove all the way that curves down. my mom went and got tickets for alcatraz. she bought the wrong ticket. she bought a boat that just went around alcatraz. we went to the lake and went back home. it wasn't until my childr
