In response to recent immigration detentions in San Francisco, faith leaders and Mayor Daniel Lurie publicly reaffirmed the city's commitment to sanctuary policies. Lurie's stance emphasizes that these federal actions, which have included separating families, are not solutions to immigration issues but tactics of fear. He underscores the inhumane nature of these actions, especially as they impact vulnerable families, including children. The community's fear is palpable, leading to renewed discussions about the efficacy of sanctuary policies amidst increasing federal enforcement activities.
These actions are not meant to fix our broken immigration system, they are intended to terrorize people. For decades, San Francisco has had sanctuary policies.
Mothers are being pulled off the street and separated from their children. It is inhumane, it goes directly against the values of this city and this country.
The city cannot use any of its resources to engage in immigration enforcement. That means... they are not supposed to ask about immigration status.
Mayor Lurie made his position clear: such actions create fear in communities, and we must stand united against these inhumane practices.
