File this one under the don’t your breathe drawer. San Francisco supervisors are trying to decide whether to continue a policy that prevents cooperation with federal immigration officials wkw the sanctuary city policy. It’s been months since Kate Steinle was killed by an illegal alien on a San Francisco pier who was deported multiple times. San Francisco, like 200 or so other leftist cities allow illegal aliens to come to their city, suck up the welfare resources, and never turn them in to ICE.

San Francisco supervisors will try Tuesday to decide whether to continue a policy that prevents cooperation with federal immigration officials that gained attention when a man in the country illegally killed a woman on a city pier.
The Board of Supervisors will consider two non-binding but strongly symbolic resolutions nearly four months after 32-year-old Kate Steinle was shot by a Mexican national who had been released from jail despite federal requests to detain him for deportation proceedings.
One resolution would reaffirm the so-called sanctuary policy, while the other would soften it by allowing sheriff’s officials to talk with federal authorities about prisoners that could be subject to deportation.
The death of Steinle cast an uncomfortable spotlight on the city that proudly declares itself a refuge for immigrants. As outrage mounted nationally, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, criticized the sheriff, saying suspect Juan Francisco Sanchez-Lopez should have been detained.
Sanchez-Lopez says he found the gun under a bench on the pier, and it accidently fired when he picked it up.
