Recently, I wrote on the murder of a father and his two sons in San Francisco (Tony, Matthew and Michael Bologna). The accused defendant is an illegal alien gang member named Edwin Ramos, a native of El Salvador and member of the notorious MS-13 gang. Ramos has two felony convictions on his record, but was never turned over to ICE.
Now comes this story out of San Francisco, which brazenly advertises itself as a sanctuary city. Introducing Marco Martinez, a 26-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador. This character has been arrested 5 times in the past year and a half by the San Francisco Police for selling crack cocaine to undercover cops.
On October 6, 2006, Martinez was busted for selling crack to an undercover cop at San Francisco's UN Plaza. He posted $35,000 bail and was released. ICE was never notified.
On October 16, 2006. Martinez was arrested again for selling crack to an undercover cop at Hyde and Golden Gate Avenue. Again, he posted $35,000 bail and was released. ICE was not notified.
On December 31, 2006, Martinez was arrested again at the corner of Hyde and Golden Gate for selling crack to an undercover cop. He again posted $35,000 bail and was released. ICE was not notified.
On April 19, 2007, Martinez was arrested for selling crack to an undercover cop at the same location, Hyde and Golden Gate Ave. He was also carrying a knife. Again, he posted bail and was released-and ICE was not notified.
Then, on July 1, 2007, Martinez pleaded guilty to the first three arrests as the 4th was dismissed. He was ordered to Drug Court, a rehab program.
Two weeks later, guess what happened? Yep, Martinez was arrested for the 5th time for selling crack to an undercover cop-this time at Hyde and Ellis, three blocks away from his usual haunt.
Finally, someone in San Francisco woke up. A judge ordered him to be held in jail. Finally, the police notified ICE and an immigration hold was placed on Martinez.
Only after 5 arrests for the same offense. Does this defy common sense or what?
Then there is this: Retired San Francisco Police Captain, Tim Hettrich, has charged that approximately 9 months ago, when he was heading the narcotics unit, he told Police Chief Heather Fong that he wanted to work with federal authorities in investigating the MS-13 gang. According to Hettrich, Fong told him, "You are not to work with those (federal) people".

There are now reports that the US Attorney's Office in San Francisco is getting interested in this intolerable situation. One can only hope. It is increasingly obvious that the city is subverting federal law with its sanctuary policy. Something needs to be done before more innocent San Franciscans are slaughtered on the streets by illlegal alien gangbangers. Hauling a few city officials out of City Hall in handcuffs might be a good place to start.
