The bill contains a wide range of new requirements, including mandatory checks on the legal status of all public employees, welfare applicants and criminal suspects whenever they are jailed. |

Minors who commit crimes while in the United States illegally will be turned over to federal immigration officials, a reversal of a nearly 20-year-old San Francisco policy, Mayor Gavin Newsom said Thursday. Under a loophole in the city's sanctuary policy for illegal immigrants, minors who committed crimes were being flown home or housed at the city's expense, Newsom said. But now, "if you commit a felony, we will not become a safe harbor for you," he said. The former policy came under fire last month after five young drug offenders from Honduras who were convicted in San Francisco escaped from a San Bernardino County group home where they had been sent by the city's juvenile probation department. Newsom said the city had spent $2.3 million to house 162 illegal immigrant youths since 2005, and an additional $38,955 to fly juvenile offenders to Honduras, American Samoa and Mexico over the past two years.

An average of 4 women are murdered each day. In 2006, the Special Prosecutor for Attention to Crimes Related to Acts of Violence Against Women in the Country (FEVIM) was established. The prosecutor found that 90% of women who were assassinated had sought help from the authorities. During the 6 years of the Vincente Fox Administration (2000-2005), 32 journalists were murdered and 5 disappeared. During the administration of President Felipe Calderon, 3 journalists have disappeared, 4 have been murdered and 2 have had attempts made on their lives. During the Fox Administration, 1,500 drug related executions took place annually. Under Calderon, there were 2,120 executions in 2006 and 2,275 in 2007. In 2005 and 2006 the National Human Rights Commission received 186 and 182 complaints against the military, respectively, while in 2007 the number of complaints doubled to 367. |
