Thank you, San Francisco: 8 illegal alien crack dealers on the loose
Un-freaking-believable. Jaxon Van Derbeken at the SFChronicle follows up on his weekend report exposing how San Francisco operated a special tax-funded shuttle service for illegal alien Honduran drug lords to protect the poor “youths” from federal immigration officials. Now, we learn that when the city was told to stop flying the illegal immigrant drug offenders home to escape prosecution and formal deportation and permanent bars from US citizenship, they instead sent the “youths” to southern California group homes–from which they easily escaped:
Until recently, San Francisco flew juvenile illegal immigrants convicted of drug crimes to their home countries rather than cooperate with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, a practice that drew national attention when The Chronicle reported it Sunday.
When federal law enforcement authorities demanded that San Francisco halt the flights and began a criminal investigation, the city decided to house some of the dealers in long-term youth rehabilitation centers. Some of those centers are run by a nonprofitcompany called Silverlake
Youth Services in mountain towns southeast of San Bernardino.Eight Honduran juveniles who had been convicted of dealing drugs in San Francisco were sent within the past few weeks to the company’s group homes, where one month’s placement costs $7,000 per youth - an expense borne by San Francisco taxpayers.
Within 10 days of being sent to the unlocked group homes, however, all eight youths ran away, said Bill Siffermann, head of juvenile probation in San Francisco. He said his agency has issued arrest warrants for them.
Siffermann said the city has stopped sending juvenile offenders to Silverlake because of the escapes. “We have now eliminated that as a prospect,” he said, adding that San Francisco is trying to come up with an approach for handling the juveniles that does not involve giving them to federal immigration authorities.
Wait, there’s more:
The eight were among dozens of young Honduran illegal immigrants who have been arrested in San Francisco in recent years for dealing drugs. Police said many of the Hondurans - some of whom they believe are actually adults - live communally in other local cities at the behest of drug lords, who finance their travel here and threaten to kill their families if they cooperate with law enforcement.
Officials say at least 22 illegal immigrants are being held at the city’s juvenile hall.
San Francisco sent four illegal immigrant juvenile offenders from El Salvador and elsewhere to the Silverlake home in Yucaipa last year. All four escaped within three weeks, San Bernardino County authorities said.
And where is San Fran Nan Pelosi on all of this? Exactly where the Dems have been on illegal alien sanctuary policies the past 30 years: turning blind eyes and deaf ears to the willful undermining of our safety and sovereignty.
Yesterday, I reminded you of the story of Erlan Colindres. I suggest every member of Congress, starting with Nancy Pelosi, get up to speed before it happens again.

Awww they did’nt get to ride in
this
I’m suprised they escaped, I wonder if it was because SF law enforcement would’nt let them cook the stuff up in their rooms? If that’s the case why not?
Not.visiting.San.Francisco.
The problem is much more pervasive than what is going on in San Fran. The undermining of our sovereignty is happening on a grander scale. Both McCain and Obama are campaigning to illegals - willfully ignoring the will of the people. San Fran has made their bed, I suggest they lie in it.
Seriously, that does’nt suprise me, a friend of mine son took off to Oklahoma, the police caught them and held them in a group home when we arrived to pick him up everyone of them (there were four buddies with him) escaped and took off, split up and ran like hell, we went looking for them and found his son running thru a field, we promptly shoved in 4 wheel and chased the little tyrant and caught him, I had to pull his dad off him so he did’nt kill the little delinquent, once we got in the car and took him back to get released we asked how they could have escaped, the officer said “Well, this is’nt a secure facility. I would’nt doubt that this is the same thing.
Bangs head on desk.
Okay,we can’t fly them home, and the little darlings keep escaping that nice little group home we sent them to, what to do, what to do?
And when will the indictments of the Mayor, City Council memebers, etc. be handed down?
Crickets Chirping
Hmmm… knowingly abeting an Illigal to break the Federal law IS a Felony. Add in conspiricy to commit a felony, which the San Francisco government is doing, and you essentialy have a conspricy against the Federal government.
This act is not like the sanctuary city thing. If you don’t ask, then you have plausible deniability to not call ICE, but they apparently KNEW these were illegals and harbored them. This is now an act of commision, not ommision. This is the blantant ACT of defieing Federal Law…
Bring everyone up who is involved on FEDERAL conspriicy charges… its time.
Hmmm… and thinking even further, they sent them to San Bernadino? So they shipped them OUT of their jurisdiction? As underage felons?
I would say that these San Francisco “officials” are in cohouts with the drug lords and should be tried (outside of san francisco of course) for aiding and abetting. They to are criminals.
And the free insurance they get will glut the medical system. Of course a Kennedy for example will NEVER have to wait for a doctor or needed surgery.
I read the comments on the SF Chronicle website. They were not favorable toward SF’s policy regarding criminals. It seems that there are a lot of sensible people out there, but they are outnumbered by the granola-eating, Birkenstock wearing, anything goes, give it all away liberals.
A pity, really.
1. Openly breaking the law by ignoring immigration laws and setting up sanctuary and even going so far as to use taxpayer dollars to shuttle illegal alien drug lords out of the country rather than turn them over to ICE.
2. An Unconstitutional and illegal gun ban for the poor and not-well-connected (Guns for me and my bodyguards and wealthy donors and celebrities but not for thee).
And that list could go on and on of all the straight up “laws” San Fran willingly breaks to push its slimeball agenda.
You reap what you sow, apparently they want to be the true Sodom 2.0 and I wish them luck with that.
Just selling the drugs and escaping the group-homes that American youths aren’t interested in selling and escaping from.
Sigh.
Off topic, but related to the idiocy of bleeding heart liberalism, read an op-ed this morning in the WSJ by Melanie Phillips, author of Londonistan. The UK government has released Abu Qatada, and is considering the same for an anonymous cohort, because of lack of evidence to try them, meanwhile the UK courts have ruled that deporting these dangerous terrorists would be a ‘breach of their human rights’, as they may be, gasp, tortured in their home country for more serious crimes committed there. Add to that, Abu Qatada is confined to house arrest in London, his wife and 5 children are enjoying the benefits of the British welfare system, along with disability payments for Abu’s bad back.
Bangs head on desk again.
Keep protecting the criminals and not the victims, S.F.. Why change after all these years? I can’t imagine paying THAT much to live there and getting this from your officials.
Ok, this is probably a dumb question, but if what SF is doing is conspiracy or whatever you want to call it, isn’t there anyone, anywhere who can bring charges against these people? Is there really NO WAY to stop them?
I’m sure they’ll get right on that, post haste. /sarc
Liberalism always creates the EXACT OPPOSITE of its stated intent.
I wonder if Sen. McCranky knows what God’s children are up to?
I love Michelle M. and this site but I think I need to go and duct tape my head now before it splodes. Every day there is something more bizarre in the news.
fist, i find it hard to think that the majority of the congress and senate does not know this is going on. i believe they know and they believe this is the compassionate thing to do, protect the criminal illegal immigrant youths. forget the law abiding citizens, the Federal Government tax slaves, they are not going to rise up and overturn this corrupt government. as a matter of fact they will continue to pay for this and continue to vote the idiots back into office. it won’t be any different no matter who wins the white house this year.
i for one want to know where i join up for the revolution, i am tired of this!
As a Bay Area resident and fourth-generation native San Franciscan, I demand that all federal funding for my hometown be stopped until San Francisco complies with federal immigration laws, rescinds its status as a “sanctuary city”, and agrees to turn over illegal aliens to immigration authorities.
Really now, should anything relating to San Francisco surprise us anymore?
Well I guess it has come full circle now. The town’s original name was Yerba Buena. Meaning in Spanish “Good Herb”
So all government official must have been smoking it!
So smoke’m if you got’em! Lord know you have enough drug dealer in your mist.
Now perhaps the City by the Bay can follow through and NOT accept Federal funds of all kinds. That way they don’t have to bother with Navy Ships, Marines or ROTC. They can fight AIDS by Just Saying No. I am sure Mexico and Honduras can step in to fill the breach.
I think some credit needs to go out to the SF Chronicle for these great pieces exposing this blatant injustice.
If we withhold all federal funds and grants until SF (and all other sanctuary cities) changes their sanctuary policy… we can rectify this issue in days.
SF and California have long been known to at least encourage illegal drug usage. Perhaps this was one way to that end. The good citizens, if there still are some left are the ones put in jeopardy as well as the taxpayers.
They figure we’ll tire of having to slap down their shamnesty proposals before they tire of trying to cram them down our throats. Liberals have been so busy redefining what terms mean that I don’t believe any of them know what the “will of the people” is… and that’s a
crying shamecrime.The population of SF does have plenty of residents that are not of the lefty liberal loon variety …
I personally have friends there … some of which are amongst our fellow commenters here … however … the libs have been in control and have made certain they manipulated the make up of the voting districts in such a way as to ensure they will retain control of the government there regardless of what they do …
Jail time now for these pompous asses. Hard time. They need to be held up to public ridicule.
Send in the troops.
Is it going to take an uprising by the people? Are we going to have to eliminate the law breakers ourselves? Should the days of vigilante justice and lynch mobs return? I hope not…
But we sure can’t expect Obama Hussain or McAmnesty to do anything to make our lives and country better.
Sanctuary cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are notorious for dumping criminals and gangsters in middle class communities in neighboring communities. What this does is create the seeds for drug gangs to be established in those communities. I doubt you’ll see any of those “youth homes” in Marin County or Beverly Hills.
$7000 per “youth” per month?
If they escaped after 10 days…did the people of SF get the balance of $4666 back for each “youth”?
Sorry, there is no refund for early checkout.
At what point is the federal government going to step up and bring charges against this blazing idiot Gavin Newsom? This guy is trying to be the “Che of the Bay” and he is weakening national security. I’m also amazed, but not surprised, at Pelosi’s willful silence and complicity.
Perhaps if SF was struck with a 9/11 size attack (*PC* forbid), it might get their attention, but I doubt it. And also, don’t expect me to help out if an earthquake hits your village, you idiots.
Sanutary cities want to attract all the illegals they can and keep them so they will be counted in the next census. The higher the count, the more nuts job elected to Washington and the more clout in shoving failed policies down citizens’ throats. Remember, we are all racist idiots who don’t understand how much illegals contribute to our society.
There is a theory that Gavin Newsom cost John Kerry the election in 2004. His gay marriage stunt right before the election supposedly rallied enough conservatives to the poles in Ohio to turn the tide in that state.
Where is Dirty Harry when you need him?Well do ya punk!
Actions or inactions like these by local, even the federal, government, are only going to cause animosity from U.S. Citizens. There’s already the Minute Men group. At what point do citizens begin taking matters into our own hands? Right or wrong as that maybe. That’s not a day I’m looking forward to.
Have any of you seen the video on youtube with Florida assistant attorney general telling the legislators about the beheading of a young girl in the panhandle? No questions were asked. No eyebrows raised? Is it real? I could not find a news story on it How jaded are our representatives?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRGC4KCt2s0
Sounds like time for Americans to become vigilantes in order to have our laws enforced. Luckily the Supreme Court has now given the green light to many to do just that!
There’s something very fishy here and the SFChron scratched the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Democratic politics have destroyed virtually every city they have touched, making them drug-filled war zones and when they can’t handle the thugs or if they happen to shoot the wrong white liberal, then they (as a previous poster mentioned) dump them out on other communities nearby. When Chicago shut down Cabrini-Green, the gangs just went to the suburbs, wrecking those communities.
It is coming. There will be another Civil War and it will be over citizens frustration with their governments. Another reason why the Heller decision was so important.
If Obama gets in, they will erode freedoms as fast as they can replace SC justices with more liberal nutjobs like Ginsburg who want to decided cases using international laws. If there is a Dem President and Congress, they will take the opportunity to implement so many backwards, leftist policies, and capitalize on their agenda - which the Republicans failed to do for 6 years to protect against just such a time.
Fixed it.
On the upside, S.F. is cracking down on illegal fireworks. But, shouldn’t they be calling them undocumented entertainment?
Forgive my ignorance, but hasn’t SF violated two federal laws? What better signal than to hold the Mayor and City council as well as the citizenry in contempt and prosecute… the Manzanar camp of 2008, anyone? At least, the incarceration would be justified unlike back in 1942.
if we’re going to let illegal criminals in can’t we at least export some of the USA haters out… kinda like a trade…
If they choose to ignore federal laws, perhaps they would learn a lesson if any and all federal moneys were to be witheld from the city.
In my younger days, back when I believed in truth, justice and the American way, this entire post would have horrified me. Talk about vigilanties and Minute Men was not needed. We had law enforcement to protect us.
Now however, I keep wondering where do I sign up?
Why do we bother to have a DEA if we are going to reward drug pushers. Why bother paying Police Depts if we are just going to tie their hands. And who needs the 9th Circus Court if we aren’t going to bother penalizing offenders.
It is real.April 8 session, 2 hours and 18 minutes into the clip.

Failure at local, state and federal level to enforce the law of the land.
Several hundred thousand law enforcement types, hundreds of judges and tens of thousands of elected fools and mayors feed at the public trough and are either too greedy, too stupid or too arrogant to obey the law of the land.
Civil War…OMG…it may happen/occur as at some point, America wakes up and realizes that Americans do not have a Nation anymore…the dollar is worth nothing, crime is rampant and Obama is President for Life!
Never mind..that is Obama’s dream…mot mine.
I know how these group home placements work. My bet is that SF withheld the material details of these convictions so that SB County would accept them in the first place. These group homes are not set up to be a substitute for jail, and those in their charge are not held against their will. Thanks to the litigious environment in California, they can’t physically restrain anyone or they risk being sued.
Furthermore, whomever said that dealing crack is not a violent crime is an ignoramus.
What a shame that the people in Yucaipa now must be on the lookout for potential violence wrought by the rats in SF and their stupid, anarchist ways.
I think its time we have another Boston Tea Party over this. Grab the pickfolks and torches folks.
I hate to say it, but this is the way it’s going to be. We have a do-nothing government when it comes to the invasion from our southern border. We have a current president and two presidential candidates who aggressively support this invasion, and will allow it to continue unchecked. The citizens of the US are not only in danger of losing their rights and freedoms, but we’re also in physical danger, due to the lack of ability by law inforcement and lack of interest by government to enforce the laws of this country.
The only way out of it will be another American Revolution. I hope I’m not here to see it when it happens, because it’s going to be bloody.
I’m still waiting here with the rope.
Americans have a traitor in the white house and two waiting at it’s door-steps, but Americans have only themselves to blame, for rejecting patriotic statesman, Tom Tancred, R-CO. Harsh truth is, in a democracy, people get the government they deserve.
maybe a class action law suit filed on behalf of the tax payers of SF against the mayor ,the DA, the city stupidvisors and every offical who was in on this BS.
And then Charge them all in federal court .
Illegal Immigration And The Return Of Slavery To America.

San Francisco is really a beautiful city. It is really a shame that it has been hijacked PC thugs. I lived there for several years in the early 90s. Between being constantly harassed by the homeless (or should I say BUMS! That is what we used to call them) and having to defend my beliefs every two seconds I finally decided to leave. San Francisco has seceded from the Union in everything but name. The sooner the Feds realize it the better.
newsome knows the authorities are afraid of him. the authorities realize arresting newsome would cause riots.
I wonder if Newsome is into snow (and I don’t mean the kind that falls from the sky)
We need not despair, on the job training is a rocky road and may take a 100 felony arrests before big house residency is awarded. Before then, it’s one step at a time. San Francisco can by proud of it’s contribution to youth career development.
Well folks, it is niegh past time when we, citizens of the United States, start taking our country back. This starts at the roots, meaning you and I. Get involved in the local political scenario to make the changes necessary to protect what we have worked, fought and died for. Then to the State. If the Federal laws confilict with the desires of the citizens of the states, there is the States Convention to make the change. We cannot allow the political fat cats of the Senate, House, Supreme Court and Presidential staff dictate to us a bunch of crap that we know is crap.
If you see an Illegal breaking into a home, take them out Joe Horn Style. He’s cleared with upholding the law.
One (fantastic) picture that represents thousands of gestures like that since the war started.
We’ve been over there 5 years and 5 years to a kid is a long time - watching that sort of ‘good’ happening around them.
I hope they have the ability to recognize and remember the goodness of others.
Our soldiers - the best there is.
Oh Mannnn!! Wrong post! So Sorry! skulking away now…
I hope the renegade local government of San Francisco reaps all the ills they have sown over the last 40 years. I truly feel sorry for the good folks still living in the Bay Area and paying the ultimate price of these lawless liberal sanctuary policies.
Dealing drugs is no problem. Just try and speed on 35W in North Texas, and BAM you get a heavy ticket.
That is just a illegal alien dealing drugs. Hey look! A white blue eyed demon is speeding. GET HIM!
I’m personally tired of being offended by the outrages perpetrated by the left.
We are one nation in name only. At this point I can’t conceive of even calling them my brothers and sisters. The mindset that would hide dangerous criminals and shield child molesters from authorities is surely a movement acting out in open rebellion. It’s as if they simply despise this country as it currently exists and will push these insane positions until they get what they really want - a ruined nation that is prostrate before an all powerful central government.
From blocking energy development to activist judges overturning our founding principles to the promotion of Marxist policies using environmentalism as a shield: the left seems hell-bent on destruction and have found enough useful idiots along the way to make it work.
At one time they were referred to as the “Masters of Deceit” but now I would call them the Masters of the Willing Accomplices.
If we get the leaders we deserve then this election says a lot about what we have sown the last few years.
Am I alone in thinking that a total collapse is the only way for this nation to find it’s collective common sense?
Mach1Duck (#61),
I agree that we should get involved, but I’ve given up on doing it through the GOP.
The problem is that Mr. Smith starts out like you and me - out to set things right. As he moves up the chain, presumably in the Republican party, he finds that he’s got to compromise some of his integrity - on “little” things that don’t really matter, of course, in order to do the “greater good”. After a few years of holding office, campaigning, playing the game of mutual political favors, and gathering more closet skeletons, he becomes less and less recognizeable to his original supporters. By the time that Mr. Smith finally does get to Washington, he has become corrupted. That once good man has been transformed by the GOP into a forked-tongue, go-along-to-get-along, spineless self-serving traitor (a.k.a. “an inside the beltway politician”).
I’m convinced that a constitution-centric party is the only way out of this mess. After all, we are a republic (rule of law), not a democracy (rule of demagogic whim) …but, alas, I’m afraid it’s too late anyway. As Ben Franklin said, “When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic”. The only true hope we have now is God rescuing us somehow.
Rob Roy (#67),
Yep. I think we’ll have to proverbially “hit bottom” before each of us takes personal responsibility to make things right.
I know it’s bad to think that San Fran should just fall into the ocean but it really seems they are trying to kill themselves off anyway they can. Fools…
#68, well written.
However, I do not think G-d will help us anymore. This country allows Homosexual marriage, murder of children(abortion), Fathers leaving their families and/or children to fend for themselves, drug abuse beyond anything ever dreamed of 30 years ago, school prayer thrown out of school, false religions, murder, rape…
We should change our name to Sodom, and wait for our destruction. Not just us, but the whole world.
We have earned it!
I have become so frustrated with the way this country is going. NO ONE is representing my views. I have actually looked at some web sites that I never would have even seen before. Today, I found myself on a “David Duke” site and quickly closed it. But the fact that I actually typed something into a search engine that goes so far against what I have always believed, just shows me how confusing this country is right now.
Per Bill Siffermann, head of juvenile probation in San Francisco “San Francisco is trying to come up with an approach for handling the juveniles that does not involve giving them to federal immigration authorities.”
I am not sure why this is not grounds for 1) removal from his position in the city government and 2) a reason to try this fellow for acting in a manner detrimental to the federal government, in other words Treason.
While a common citizen may make the ‘off the cuff remark’, it takes on a different meaning when spoken by a city official in an official capacity.
Of course, with someone as incompetant in their understanding of the effects of illegal immigration being the current commander in chief, I have no doubt the Attorney General of the United States will yet again shirk his responsibility in this matter.
Clearly, any new amnesty will result in even greater uncontrolled mass migration which can only result in major violent problems in many places. I wonder, once the various police forces are overwhelmed, what these politicians will do?
“A house divided against it self cannot stand”
-Abraham Lincoln
If San Fransicko sends away these guys, who will Gavin Newsom buy his drugs from?
Black people? Perish the thought!
Oh i guess you didnt get the memo?
with section H housing, SF is shipping its black population out of the city . First it was to treasure island now its to the east bay and even further east. So Gavin needs these boys from Hondurus to score his blow .
I mean section 8 housing .
Liberals know that they have to be nice to the “illegals”, no matter what they do. They are a big “voting bloc” for them out there. If they deport them, getting absentee ballots out may be difficult. Right, Pelosi?
Why are illegals even allowed to vote in this country?
I do NOT think we could go to France and vote, right?
The house across the street has been foreclosed and just sits there with a dead lawn and dying bushes. I went to home depot yesterday and felt like the white guy in mexico. It cost me 100$ to fil up my car with gas. There is gang tagging on homes and fences in my once decent neighborhood.
We are outnumbered and things are going to continue to get worse.
I am mad as hell… and there is nothing I can do.
Well Rob, Pay more to fix the MS 13 Problem. Now you’re going to get down right P!ssed if you’re like me.
