Tancredo Denounces S.F. Mayor for
Obstruction of Justice

Calls on all candidates to denounce sanctuary city

(Washington D.C.) –   Presidential candidate Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) reacted sharply to Mayor Gavin Newsom designating San Francisco a “sanctuary city.” 

 

“Mayor Newsom’s defiant pronouncement is reminiscent of Southern segregationists frustrating the enforcement of federal civil rights law.” Tancredo said. “As president, I would direct my Attorney General to take all necessary action to end this obstruction of justice.”

 

In response to recent ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids in San Francisco, Mayor Gavin Newsom proclaimed, "I will not allow any of my department heads or anyone associated with this city to cooperate in any way shape or form with these raids.  We are a sanctuary city, make no mistake about it."

 

Tancredo concluded, “I call on all presidential contenders, who claim to be serious about immigration enforcement, to publicly denounce this brazen disregard of the law.”
