Washington Post: San Francisco sanctuary law 'a disgrace'

The Washington Post editorial board on Friday slammed San Francisco for its policies that allow illegal immigrants with criminal records to reside within the city with almost no fear of deportation.

San Francisco fell under renewed scrutiny recently when an illegal immigrant with an extensive rap sheet allegedly shot and killed 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle. Before the killing, federal immigration authorities had reportedly asked the city to inform them when the accused perpetrator, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, was released from jail, where he had been booked on drug charges.
