With the fentanyl crisis and a potential Trump presidency, The City’s next mayor could face decisions on its longstanding sanctuary policy
San Francisco mayoral candidates say they’re supportive of The City’s sanctuary law for immigrants, regardless of who is the next president of the United States.
“Sanctuary cities and states like California put innocent Americans at the mercy of hardened criminals — hardened murderers, in many cases,” Trump said in 2018. San Francisco sued Trump in 2017 when, shortly after taking office, he issued an order limiting federal funding for cities that do not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with The City and nullified Trump’s order.
But in the years since, there has been movement on the fringes of San Francisco politics and talk of at least revising The City’s sanctuary policies. SF bans automated software accused of price-fixing housing rents Critics say that because the software draws on a vast pool of proprietary industry data, it allows landlords to indirectly coordinate their decisions
“I am in favor of San Francisco continuing to be a sanctuary city, and am proud of our status as one; however, it’s deplorable to use sanctuary cities as a cover for illegal behavior that is ultimately poisoning our most vulnerable citizens on the backs of honest taxpayers,” Jacobs states on his campaign website.
Daniel Lurie, founder of antipoverty nonprofit Tipping Point and heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, said that The City does not have to change the sanctuary ordinance in order to tackle the drug crisis. He noted that the U.S. Attorney’s Office is already deporting drug dealers.
