The Mexican illegal immigrant who killed a young woman, Jose Lopez -Sanchez has a long record. According to the Daily Beast, the San Francisco Sheriff's office asked the Feds to send Lopez-Sanchez to San Francisco to answer a 20 year old San Francisco warrant for selling $20 worth of pot to a city narc. Apparently the sheriff's office never heard of statute of limitations. Also apparently suffers from terminal stupidity. As might be expected, all the evidence on this 20 year old charge was gone and the judge tossed the case out. And so, the sheriff's office turned Lopez-Sanchez loose, rather than give him back to ICE.
The sheriff just gave a news conference on TV. He is a weasel, spoke to confuse. Did not say anything about requesting the Feds to turn Lopez-Sanchez over to him. Far as the sheriff was concerned Lopez-Sanchez just appeared as if by magic.
The newsies are on the sheriff's case for turning Lopez-Sanchez loose. The Feds wanted him back to deport him a sixth time. The sheriff claims the feds gave him the wrong paperwork and the San Francisco sanctuary city law didn't let him give Lopez-Sanchez back to ICE.
That sheriff ought to be canned. If the Daily Beast story is right, they ought to can him for terminal stupidity in requesting Lopez-Sanchez be turned over to him on a 20 year old minor drug arrest. Any sheriff's department has better things to do than rake up 20 year old low level offenses. Then he ought to canned for turning a five time loser loose on city streets instead of turning him over to ICE.
