Sheriff Fears Program Will Lead To Deportations

Posted: 26 May 2010 12:04 PM PDT

A California sheriff wants to opt out of a national program that checks the immigration status of all arrestees because it would eradicate the area's sanctuary law and put too many people at risk of deportation.

While this open support for criminals from a top law enforcement official may sound outrageous, its par for the course in San Francisco, the famously liberal city by the bay that has long offered illegal immigrants sanctuary, official government identification cards and all sorts of taxpayer-financed public benefits.

Now the area's sheriff, who operates the county jails, wants to assure that illegal aliens are protected from deportation when they get arrested for breaking local laws. San Francisco Sheriff Michael Hennessey wants California's Attorney General to let his agency keep the fingerprints of arrested people away from federal immigration authorities.

Under a federal program called Secure Communities, all California county jails must check the fingerprints of arrestees against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement database to track whether the person is in the country illegally. The idea is to deport dangerous criminals, many of whom have fallen through the cracks over the years. So far 169 counties nationwide are participating in Secure Communities.

But the sheriff and San Francisco's Board of Supervisors are deeply worried that the program would gut the city's sanctuary law and put many more people at risk of deportation. After all, the city is famous for protecting even the most violent of criminals from deportation, including those who have been convicted of atrocious felonies. A few years ago a Salvadoran gang member with two felony convictions murdered a father and his two sons because he never got turned over to federal authorities for removal.

Fortunately, California's Attorney General doesn't share the sheriff's concern and this week denied his exemption request. In a letter to Hennessey, Attorney General Jerry Brown says that the Secure Communities program "serves both public safety and the interests of justice" because it "advances an important law enforcement function by identifying those individuals who are in the country illegally and who have a history of serious crimes or who have previously been deported."

“Spit Assault” Gets N.Y. Bus Drivers Months Of Paid Leave

Posted: 26 May 2010 07:37 AM PDT

 

In a bizarre example of government waste, a major U.S. city with a $400 million transit budget shortfall allows public bus drivers to take months of paid leave every time a rider spits on them.

Thanks to a contract negotiated by the New York City bus drivers' powerful union, spitting is considered an assault even though the state penal code doesn't classify it that way. This has allowed dozens of city bus drivers to take an average of more than two months paid leave each time they get spit on by a disgruntled passenger.

In some cases drivers have taken more than half a year off with pay over a spitting incident. This is possible because their contract allows them to take unlimited "assault time" with full pay. When a Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus driver reports a spitting incident, an agency team responds to the scene as if it were a dire emergency.

While some drivers get back to work immediately, many engage in theater by getting whisked away in ambulances. The drama is justified because there may be health risks caused by the saliva of an unidentified person, according to the MTA's bus chief. This can also have a damaging emotional impact on drivers which is why many claim to have posttraumatic stress disorder after getting spat on.

About one-third of the 153 assaults on New York City bus drivers last year involved spitting. Fifty one drivers took an average of 64 paid days off after suffering "saliva assault." One driver (Oneisha Portlette) who took almost five months off after a 2008 spitting incident defends the practice, saying that she was traumatized by the event and spent a great deal of her leave visiting doctors. "You feel totally violated, humiliated, disrespected," the driver said.

Acknowledging that getting spit on is no fun, a New York MTA board member counters that the drivers should be able to "go home, shower up and take the day off or the next day off." Instead, the recovery time is getting strung out for months. And it's costing taxpayers a lot of money.
