Should sanctuary cities be held legally responsible for the illegals I.E. criminals they shelter?
I say yes. It would be like a security guard who allows trespassers into the building and then tries to act like it is not his fault when one of the trespassers assaults someone,steals and or vandalizes property. Most people with at least a ounce of common sense would say the security guard should be fired and forced to reimburse the property owner for the theft and damage that occurred and sued by the victims. The judge would be right that the city can not prevent crime but in the case of an illegal alien the city did not have to shelter that criminal,those people were victimized as a direct result of the city allowing trespassers/criminals to stay. Had that illegal been deported those people would have not been victimized by that illegal.
Judge tosses sanctuary suit in S.F. killings
The family of a father and two sons who were shot dead on a San Francisco street in 2008 can't hold the city responsible for failing to turn their alleged killer over to immigration authorities after earlier arrests, a judge has ruled.
The city isn't legally to blame for any crimes Edwin Ramos, a suspected illegal immigrant from El Salvador, committed after his release for the offenses he committed as a juvenile, Judge Charlotte Woolard of San Francisco Superior Court said Monday.
Cities "generally are not liable for failing to protect individuals against crime," Woolard said.
