NBC Bay Area– The San Francisco Sheriff’s Office admitted Monday that two of its deputies violated the city’s sanctuary policy last week at two jails, allowing immigration agents to talk to inmates.
Public Defender Jeff Adachi said when he found out ICE agents were in two city jails, he called Sheriff Vicki Hennessy.
Under city and state sanctuary laws, deputies are not supposed to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. In both cases, deputies allowed ICE agents access to interview rooms inside the jails.
