we are a sanctuary city today, we are a sanctuary city tomorrow. we will always be a sanctuary city here in san francisco. let us never forget that. thank you, everyone for being here. >> [applause] >> thank you. thank you, mr. mayor. you know, hearing from the law enforcement leadership of the city is really critical and we are proud to have with us today our city attorney, dennis herre herrera. our public defender jeff adache and then i want to turn it over to the chief law enforcement elected official for the city and county of san francisco, our district attorney george gascon. >> [applause] >> thank you, david. thank you, mr. mayor. thank you to the entire city family. you know, there are many things that we can today as to why there is something inherently wrong with what one particular candidate for mayor in this city is trying to propose. i will not mention the name because i don't want my statement to actually be googled and give any additional amplification to that person. is message is wrong for many different reasons. i'm going to touch

i hear a lot of things today about sanctuary cities and the law. i'm not the smartest guy at table by any means, sanctuary cities they want to take the attorney general and get funding even though they violate federal law to keep the criminal aliens in. to me that's backwards, and i want to spend a minute to separate fact from fiction, please. i hope the american people can understand the fight about sanctuary cities. i appreciate the american patriots in this room that have joined this fight. the good fight, a right fight. intentional mixed messages of sanctuary cities, i hear they protect immigrant communities, and they don't. it's the complete opposite. when you release a criminal alien from a jail, they're going to get on very communities which they live and reoffend. anybody can google recidivism rates, over half recommit the same year, you are not protecting a community,ure putting them at greater risk of crime. when you enforce an i.c.e. agent when you can take the custody of someone and force them into neighborhoods, you put our officers at

[laughter] >> that's right. >> check the voting records, folks. please. >> i'm crystal from the city of san jacinto. can i speak frankly? >> yes. >> i'm sitting here in this room in awe of god's power; how he can take someone who was homeless in a tent, make them the mayor in the city, and bring them before the president of the united states of america who wants to hear the cry of our people. an

i hear a lot of things said about sanctuary cities. i'm not as smart by any means but sanctuary cities they want your funding even though you violate law. they don't want to keep them out. to me that's just backwards. and i want to -- i just want to say separate fact from fiction, please. i hope the american people can understand the part about sanctuary cities i appreciate the american patriotism is a good fight. a right fight. the messaging of sanctuary cities and what they do. i hear it. and they don't. anybody can google these rates. over half in the first year it's very immigrant communities in which they live. you're not protecting immigrant communities. you put a greater risk of crime. and when you enforce it tyou can take someone with safety and secure and force them in the neighborhood. you put it all together. you already put the public at risk. and we're going to find others working on the radar. so you have a greater risk of crime. you put them at a greater risk and you put the heroes, the law enforcement officers at great

we had 11 sanctuary cities. now we have 560. 10,000 illegal criminals have been released under the sanctuary city -- >> now it's reversing sam. it got bad and now it's reversing. it's a big change of heart of mind, people don't want sanctuary cities. they're dangerous. they don't want them anymore. thank you. >> most of the people support us, mr. president. 65% of the hispanics support us. the liberals, the democrats, everybody is -- in my city, 90% are with us. thank you. >> i had more support in the state of california than people understand, too. check the voting records, folks. >> i'm sitting here in this room in awe of god's power, how he can take someone who was homeless, in a tent, make them a mayor and and bring them before the united states of america and wants to hear the cry. sacramento is angry because they lost an election. for god's sake, get over it. they're angry. you know what? now we're more angry. they're releasing these criminals not by their houses. they're releasing them by our houses. my c

we are a sanctuary city tomorrow. >> the current law limits city agencies, including law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration agents. the goal is to make undocumented residents feel safe to interact with police, without fear of deportation. the proposed ballot measure would no longer shield dangerous felons. >> why do they want to protect dangerous felons? why? >> mayoral candidate angela al oto authored the original sanctuary law when she was a supervisor in 1989 but says others amended it. she wants it back to what she intended. >> if you are convicted by a jury of a violent felony, murder, rape, mayhem or a crime that is punished by death, then you will not be protected by san francisco's sanctuary laws. it's that simple. >> she says the immigrant community supports her. but not those who demonstrated immediately after getting rid of the proposal last week. and not city leaders who blasted her as trumpian. >> here we are having the candidate looking for the highest office in our county pandering to the same things that we hear from washington on a regular basis. t

the president has been making a huge push to eliminate sanctuary cities. the department of justice, of course, has filed a lawsuit against california's sanctuary laws. the president embracing cities opposed to that policy. >> we have to enforce the laws that are on the books. people don't get to decide -- cities don't get to pick and choose which laws they want to follow. just because it's california doesn't mean you get to decide you don't want to participate in our government and in our system. >> something else going on today. we're hearing from donald trump junior this morning after the senate judiciary committee released hours of testimony from many of the participants in the june 6, 2016 meeting at trump tower. he said i appreciate the opportunity to have assisted the judiciary committee. the public can now see that for over five hours i answered every question asked and was candid and forthright with the committee. i want to thank the members of the committee and their staff for their courtesy and professionalism. 2500 pages of testimony. a long read

sanctuary city policies are legal policies.een well researched, they're within the confines of what local and state jurisdictions are allowed to do. that is part of the beauty of american democracy. a balance between local, state, and federal power. and i can tell you that i know a lot more about what makes my community safe than a congress member from iowa. >> so the president of course has picked on you personally, and that's why congress king went after you, right? at the california sanctuary state round table last week, president trump said you should be investigated for obstruction of justice, and i want to play that for you, mayor schaaf. >> you had the mayor of oakland, where i read that you had a thousand people, tom you know this because it was your deal -- had a thousand people together, many of these were illegals, they were criminals, and she informed them, and they all fled, or most of them fled, and that whole operation that took a long time to put together, i mean, you talk about obstruction of justice. i would r

let's get on to sanctuary cities.f 80% of americans oppose sanctuary cities why are we still having this debate? >> that's a great question. because we're broken down by state and region and locality, etc. and unfortunately on the republican side we have about 30 folks that are going across the aisle leapfrogging over paul ryan and leadership with 200 democrats denny hoyer says he will offer 200 democrats in a yes vote that they wouldn't provide one vote for us on tax relief. but when it comes to an amnesty. potentially 3.7 million illegals and over a decade 10 million, our side hopefully blocks this. it is called a discharge petition using this queen of the hill terminology. they're promising a vote on good policy, the goodlatte bill. it doesn't quite have the votes. the amnesty vote has the votes with the democrats. and then on sanctuary cities our governor in virginia promised the people i would never go for sanctuary cities. he is in office for two weeks and turns around and 180 turnaround and so the people didn't

they say amending the city's sanctuary rules would make the city a more dangerous place, not safer. >> and so i call on angela alioto to cut it out, to stop, to back away, focus on the real issues in our city. >> i support the comments that senator weiner made concerning a candidate here in the city of trying to unwind sanctuary city. >> reporter: alioto says city leaders are at best mischaracterizing her position. >> it's dishonest. they can read. both of them are lawyers. i attached the ordinance, attached the 13 pages. and i attached the petition. >> reporter: now, i did speak with alioto by phone this afternoon. she is going to continue to push for that ballot initiative to make sure felons are not protected by san francisco's sanctuary city measures. she needs 9400 signatures by july. she is planning on doing it and hope she can get as many as 14,000 signatures. back to you guys. >> thank you. >>> governor jerry brown unveiled his revised budget proposal in sacramento today saying he wants to put more money away for tough times ahead. the governor says the state now has a surplus

trump also repeated his claim that sanctuary cities violate the law. then the president turned to attorney general jeff sessions and suggested oakland mayor libby schaaf be investigated for alerting the public about an impending i.c.e. raid. >> you talk about obstruction of justice, i would recommend that you rook into obstruction of justice for the mayor of oakland, california, jeff. she advises thousands of people. they're told, get out of here, law enforcement's coming, and you worked on that long and hard, and you got there, and there were very few people there. to me, that's obstruction of justice. >> reporter: libby schaaf who ironically is in washington said not distracted, not obstructing, doing now job. she has local support. >> we will go to jail with libby. we're here to tanned stand up f. >> reporter: the mayor got a lot of support from governor jerry brown who tweeted that the president is lying about immigration, crime and the laws of california. coming up at 6:00, we'll address what the chances are of charges actually happening. >>> than

legislation, voted against case law, voted for sanctuary cities. voted in favor of catch and release. ok? so, democrats have opposed every common sense measure necessary to stop this surrender this scourge of crime, to dismantle

i'm incredibly proud that san francisco is a sanctuary city. we're a city that protects all of our residents regardless of documentation. her proposed changes, i think it will make us less safe. >> london breed's campaign issued this statement. london would never support a measure that would describe immigrants as rapists, murderers, or felons. >> i'm pretty shocked. i thought it would be filing an ordinance and campaign for it through november. >> reporter: she says in her time, campaigning san franciscans have told her the sanctuary policy, it needs common sense reforms. >> and we don't want to welcome dangerous felons to san francisco. and that's how i have always felt. >> a kpix 5 survey u.s.a. poll earlier this year showed 61% of folks in the bay area say local law enforcement should assist federal authorities in cases involving undocumented immigrants who are suspects in violent crimes. angela aliota would need to collect 10,000 signatures to get the november ordinance on the ballot. in the newsroom, andria borba, kpix 5. >>> the fire dang

again the whole sanctuary city issue to me i'm against sanctuary cities.congressman donovan and i have with it. we don't want money cut off to the police in new york city if new york city is a sanctuary city. other money should be cut. otherwise you make a bad situation worse by putting constituents at risk by taking money away from the police. we think we are resolving that. we're in the room and why it's important and being taken care of. >> heather: we heard sarah sanders earlier right before we got to you before the commercial break talking about how the president is willing to do something on daca. he just wants to secure the border. we were not able to get anything done on daca and we thought that everyone had come to an agreement with that. >> yeah. again, actually the president's offer on daca was much more generous than president obama's and democrats seemed to move somewhat on the border wall. then the issues of chain migration and the lottery. again, i have no doubt that if everyone is in the room and dealing honestly it can be done. we have to

. - sanctuary cities. - undocumented immigrants, right? so the, look, this is one i love to talk about. - well, you boycotted that meeting, right? you were proudly, you decided not to go see the, right. - i didn't want to have to boycott the meeting, but once again they threatened my city. - but you did it, but you did it. - but here's the bottom line, and actually had a very surreal meeting with donald trump and jeff sessions a week or two after the election in an attempt at some kind of dialogue, and i said, "look, the reason to understand how we approach immigration, in say, new york, with half a million undocumented immigrants--" - yeah. - "is about public safety." i said, "don't talk to me, talk to my police commissioner. if you wanna hear a non-partisan assessment, talk to my police commissioner about why we will not ask documentation status and why that has helped us to bond police and community together in immigrant communities, and that is why we are now the safest big city in america, it's part of what got us there." - and isn't

with nearly every democrat also voted to protect something that is becoming very unpopular, sanctuary cities. can you believe -- people are finally starting -- want tos and liberals americans while they are releasing his savage gang members into our streets. remember what my opening speech, i got criticized for? guess what. we are getting some real beauties this year. horribleking ms 13, killer gang members, we are getting them out because our guys are much tougher than

and, it is a terrible thing. >> harris: should we do away with sanctuary cities?> charlie: that would be a start. >> kennedy: we have to find a difference between constitutional right. this is enshrined in the bill of rights for a very good reason and it's very important issue for many americans who feel it is their duty in order to protect themselves and their families and self-defense is critical, especially in places like illinois, where parts of illinois have been, you know, riddled with the type of crime that you really don't see, except for once in a generation and they want this phased path and do it by protecting themselves and that is the difference. immigration policy is screwed up, it is up endd and republicans and democrats have to figure out way to have comprehensive immigration so you don't have willie nilly policies in states, countys and cities. >> harris: i'm understanding this is happen nothing rural counties in the state? this underscores a point i've been making, gun control is not right versus left, it is rural verse urban. breaking down of co

angela alioto was collecting signatures for a ballot initiative that would scale back the city's sanctuaryshe supported broadly. currently city law blocks the police from reporting event habitual criminals and those suspected of felonies to federal immigration authorities. alioto said that needs to change as the city is becoming a magnet for illegal immigrants who are also dangerous criminals. angela alioto joins us tonight. thanks a lot for coming on. i doubt you and i agree on much politically, which is why i wanted to talk to you. >> that's probably true. >> tucker: that's probably true. i get the headline here is, the headline here is the policies in your city are so crazy that even you, who support sanctuary cities says enough, is that a fair assessment? >> i not only support sanctuary cities, i wrote the law. i wrote the law in 1991 and it was amended in 2016 to add felons. >> tucker: why would someone amend it to add felons, people who are demonstrably dangerous eoto the citizens and taxpayersf the city, what was the idea? >> i have absolutely no idea. as the author of the law i fin

they don't want sanctuary cities. i have opposed sanctuary cities for a long, long time.city is like putting up a big sign that says please all foreign criminals come here because we won't do anything about it if you commit a crime. i don't think that all democrats are in lockstep necessarily with some of the national philosophy that comes out of washington on this issue. >> tucker: i hope you are right on the pulse of closed so i can say i'm certainly rooting for you tonight. thanks a lot for coming on. >> thank you, thanks, tucker. >> tucker: it probably won't help. some candidates on the democratic side flipping the bird to the nra while others back from style immigrations, it's not quite clear what the democratic messages for 2018. brit hume is fox's senior political analyst. he watches carefully. he joins us tonight. what you think the messages, or is there a national message that the democratic party is selling this midterm? >> i think it's pretty indistinct at this moment if there is one. i think much of the party is so mesmerized by donald trump and loads him so d

sanctuary city policies are legal policies.esearched, they are within the confines of what local and state jurisdictions are allowed to do. that is part of the beauty of american democracy, a balance between local, state and federal power. and i can tell you i know more about what makes me community member safe than a congress member from iowa. >> she says what you're calling for isn't legal. >> i'm smiling. it strikes me there are so many things wrong with that statement. she's got to live in another zone different from me. it isn't this balance about this law. the constitution of the united states, which california signs on to is the supreme law of the land. you don't get to trump federal law by coming up with an idea at the local level. however much research she has, we know there are activist lawyers that will write whatever they want but for 20-plus years it has been against the law for local jurisdictions to establish sanctuary city policies. because we have not done an effect of job of enforcing that, we've seen this go

sanctuary cities. texas also moving against sanctuary cities.rts stand and what do you expect to be the final resolution? >> we had our own sanctuary city bill, and we were sued by many of our cities. our law allowed law enforcement to ask about immigration status and it did a crazy thing and said if you were an elected official you have to turn over illegals who committed crimes. and that's all it required. we were sued. we lots in district court, the fifth circuit reverses and we have been successful so far in fulfilling that resolution. we have our law in place and we are enforcing it through my office. lou: let's turn to the issue of immigration. i want to get your thoughts about what the house of representatives represent with a discharge petition. the people of texas versus a speaker of the house who is a lame duck who will not be running for -- for reelection but wants to stay speaker and keep his hand in all the coffers of k street and the chambers of commerce and wall street. >> i don't know what congress should or shouldn't do. it real

i want wallace sanctuary city politicians to hear this clearly. if you obstruct ice -- eyes, -- i.c.e., you will and up in the cooler. >> i know more about keeping michael community safe and some congressman from iowa. i remain without regret with informing my community about their legal rights. >> reporter: president trump last week suggested the attorney general investigate abby chef for obstruction of justice. there is already a long covering obstruction of justice but it requires intent or specific action. >> there was no specific time, place, manner or target in anyway. i don't think she was close to coming to obstruction of justice under existing law. >> reporter: king says it would make her actions criminal by making it unlawful for any officer, employee or otherwise impede the laws of the united states or attempt to do so. >> this is written so broadly, any sort of peace of federal law would be potentially protected from a challenge by a state or local official. >> reporter: james taylor says it shows how politics has changed the debate on

there he is at the sanctuary city meeting. >> constitutional sanctuary state laws. we've gone through a lot, too, although it's becoming popular what you are doing. the law that forces the release of illegal criminal drug dealers and violentette predators into your communities. california's law provides safe harbor to some of the most vicious and violent offenders on earth ms-13 gang members putting innocent men women and children at the mercy of these criminals. but we are moving them out of the country by the thousands. ms-13, we are grabbing them by the thousands and we are getting them out, kevin. we are also joined by attorney general jeff sessions. jeff, thank you. the secretary of homeland security, kiersten nielsen. secretary, thank you very much. i know you folks are keeping busy, right. >> yes, sir. >> keeping busy at those borders. and deputy i.c.e. director tom holman who is going to be leaving us soon for a i have love retirement. but there is no such thing as retirement for tom.

according to the examiner, she says that san francisco's current sanctuary city ordinance makes san franciscot it on the ballot. >>> joining us this morning, mark farrell, the san francisco mayor. thanks for being with us, mr. mayor. >> good to be with you. >> first what is your reaction to the proposal to do away with the sanctuary city status. >> i couldn't disagree more. this is unfortunately a ploy for the mayor's race this time around. but sanctuary cities across the united states, including here in san francisco, have been proven to be public safety measures. you know, i would say don't attack our community. don't attack our immigrants here in san francisco. don't buy into the donald trump rhetoric. in san francisco we support our immigrant community and we always have and we always will in san francisco. >> mayor, your police chief bill scott one of the finalists for the chief position down in los angeles. did you know about him applying for this job or were you blindsided by this? >> no. look. i didn't know about it. obviously i have read the papers. the first time around. he is a fin

. >>> the debate over san francisco's sanctuary city status is stirring up new controversy tonight. as christien kafton tells us, angela alioto wants to make sure convicted felons don't benefit from the city's sanctuary laws. >>> reporter: san francisco's sanctuary status has put it on the forefront of the nation's debate on immigration. now one san francisco mayoral candidate is looking to take the idea to the voters. angela alioto says she wrote the city's original sanctuary rules. but she says over the years, the rules have changed and the way they stand now, she says convicted felons benefit from the city's policy. >> i have gone all over the city in the last five months and we talk about the sanctuary law and the fact that felons are included in the sanctuary law, the public is outraged! >> reporter: that's why she wants to take the issue to the voters. she wants to put an initiative on the november ballot to exclude felons from sanctuary protection. alioto's call has stirred debate in the city with mayor mark farrell saying on "mornings on 2" that the would- be mayor's initiati

back in 1989 she authored the original sanctuary city orlando nances.ubsequent supervisors hanged it. she says this initiative get it back to the original intent. >> the intent of the legislation was never to protect felons, convicted felons. >> reporter: critics accuse her of using trump talking points for political gain. >> it is not the climate to do it and i think it is very irresponsible from a civil rights attorney to even propose something like that. >> reporter: fellow mayoral candidate pulled his endorsement of aliota as the choice of the candidate. >> she has used donald trump's language of suggesting and promoting his myth that immigrants are, quote, murderers, rapists and child molesters. this is very dangerous language. >> i mean why do they want felons? someone needs to explain to me why do they want felons. >> reporter: the petition needs more than 9,000 signatures to make it on the ballot. in san francisco, katie utehs, abc 7 news. >>> you can see video statements from each of the eight candidates running for mayor in san francisco by vi

and the illegal immigration and sanctuary cities.alked about at that round table on book ends of that discussion is did someone spy on my presidential campaign and can we get to the bottom of that? >> lisa: there are a lot of topics to go through. >> harris: north korea. >> lisa: of course, this is an issue, we do want to get to the bottom of it my concern, guy back to my original point. my concern is that everyone is so tainted in this. and i think americans are so frustrated with the abundance of information out there. some of it having not been true with some of these various reports having been debunked, not true. i think everyone views congress as too political. they don't trust the doj. they don't trust the fbi. they don't trust trump. my hope is that the inspector general report both with the way the clinton investigation was handled and now that he has been tasked to look at potential fisa abuse and expanded view on if there is political bias varadkaring president trump as well, my hope is that it gets to the bottom of this,

sanctuary cities is another one. it is interesting, the role of the judiciary is playing in whether these policies are able to go forward or not. administration bolstering judges or those who deal with the issue? to theconfirming judges federal judiciary. immigration lawyers are part of the judiciary department. they want funding for more of the judges, but it is a question of securing the resources to hire more judges, which they would like to do more of in the future. host: one more call from the republican line. morning, gentlemen. there is a a lot of talk about the ethical problem of theyating families once get here. what about the ethical problem of the people bringing the kids on a dangerous, dangerous journey to bring them into a country illegally, kids illegally, and live in the , or hiring coyotes? the coyotes, people don't have the money to give the coyotes and they are sold into ,lavery, ms 13 and other gangs to do prostitution and drugs. it is always us that is bad, what about these parents letting.their

so, sanctuary cities began as a sanctuary for victims, as you know. what they have become over time, unfortunately, is a very contorted version of that, which is a sanctuary for criminals, and we need to be very clear about that. sanctuary city protects criminals. it is not protecting the community. as i mentioned earlier, what it requires us to do is send our agents not moving from a controlled environment back into the communities, putting that community at risk and other immigrants in that community that are not serious felons, and putting that puts agents at risk. it doesn't make any sense. it's a way in which we're pitting blue against blue, federal law enforcement against state law enforcement, where we should be working together to protect our communities. >> great. thank you for clarifying that again, because sometimes this gets misunderstood by people as to what the real impact is. and again, cracking down on these sanctuary cities is also in chairman mccaul's and my bill, and we look forward to working to move that forward. i fully support t
