Supervisor farrell. Thank you supervisor president breed so colleagues back in july i did a city package and this is a resolution that is one of the component of that reform when the incident that happened earlier this summer gardened our National Attention it brought outlets worse sentiment and misinformation about the citys sanctuary policy and due process you saw a public back and forth between the sheriff and the mayor and the association ending with a request for the mayor to discuss those policies as well as legislation clarity from the board of supervisors i join everyone in this room in hale the recreation that congress within the senate some of those republican advocates were trying to take away the sanctuary city policies of the cities like San Francisco what i dont believe in the aftermath of those tragedies is hysteria i understand the politics we need a thoughtful look and comprehensive look at this will not happen again, we need to take time to look at this policies that maternity be revised one of the policies ive building needs to be revisited and needs to be replaced is the sheriffs memoranda regarding communications within his own department that made him the last ultimate authority in seeing if hitting his department will communicate with the state or federal authorities this resolution first of all, its supporting our sanctuary city policy a pillar of our San Francisco for decades as well as the due process that commissioner avalos offered in 2013 one of the pilars see codified it the discretion for the Law Enforcement to communicate under certain circumstances the due process ordinances seek to prescribe certain circumstances i believe it is improbable to legislate all the policies that our leaders will enconsider in the agency no way we or the may be mayor could have anticipated the individuals presence on the streets of San Francisco this summer and surely similar circumstances unforeseen in the future this individual that was to be deported brought back on a two years old marijuana charge none in the city of San Francisco right now will prosecute or anticipate will be prosecuted and although held for over two weeks in the county jail for two weeks afterwards no way we could have predicted what was going to happen well not predict every circumstance in the future it is right and appropriate to make sure we prescribe those circumstances like sanctuary city and due process for all we restrict what can be done within our Law Enforcement this is necessary for the Public Safety and part of job of magnifying officials if handled well, it should be applauded if not criticized, however, the sheriffs memoranda took that out of the hands of his own department and took our due process further the unlateral decision and a strong violation of the laws in San Francisco now despite some of the actions and comments im taken the time to meet with the rights advocates and understand there are policies and therefore any resolution but i understand their part of group that drafted that with the sheriff he respect their opinions i believe replying the sheriffs memoranda which prohibits by communication on those on behalf of anyone in the department flies in the face of Public Safety for all san franciscans they have think outside the box discussions whether this resolution calls for proactive notification or supports people obviously one is in the true some recently questions around the purpose and in response to the sheriffs request for the legislative at the writing this is what we have in front of the of us we should not be afraid to read the policies and look at the the old internal Asian Pacific islander policy in San Francisco we noted a time of calm and assess the facts at hand and from my prospective the simple fantastic of the matter those sheriff policies are beyond Public Safety i want to say i thanking thanks those at geosu
