Immigrant Released from ICE Detainer, Murders Woman

By US Immigration Bond Expert | July 7, 2015

San Francisco is known as one of the United States’ top “sanctuary cities”. Sanctuary cities are areas throughout the United States that label themselves as a safe havens for undocumented immigrants. The municipal governments in these areas refuse to work with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in the detainment and deportation of illegal aliens.

Sanctuary policies differ by area, but overall, they allow undocumented illegals access to the same basic services and protection as citizens; such as: emergency services, health care, library privileges, education, food banks, emergency shelters, and public recreation facilities.

Some consider these cities to be hideouts for illegal criminals and a threat to national security, while others believe it to be an accepting way to allow these vibrant arrivals to become contributors of the community. The recent murder of Katherine Steinle has created much debate over these sanctuaries.

Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, a 45-year old illegal alien, has confessed to the murder of Ms. Steinle and admitted that he was under the influence when she was killed. Mr. Sanchez has used over 30 aliases and has a criminal record that dates back almost 25 years. He has served three federal prison sentences for felony illegal re-entry into the United States after having been deported.

Ms. Steinle’s murder has not only caused an uproar in regards to undocumented illegals in sanctuary cities like San Francisco, but it has unveiled a serious issue with illegal re-entry.

San Francisco Mayor Edwin Lee emphasized that their city’s “sanctuary policy” was “not intended to protect repeat, serious and/or violent felons” however, Sanchez was released by local authorities in April even though Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed a detainer request on him. The sheriff’s department ignored the ICE detainer because sanctuary cities overlook federal immigration laws.

US immigration bonds were absolutely the best they were super professional. When I was down and out when my husband was detained by immigration they were very caring , knowledgeable, and patient. I called them a thousand times and they were very empathic and helpful everytime I called. they reassures me that everything would be fine, and that they would help me my husband, and my children be reunited again. They did everything they could to get me a same day release. They exceeded my expectations. I would not recommend any company other than US immigration bonds. Us immigration bonds, under promises and over fulfills. They were a true blessing ! Thank you so much again.read more

Jeremy Wolf and his agency have been a terrific resource for me as I delve into this foreign world of bonding a friend out of jail so he and his wife can work on his case on the "outside." Jeremy has been unfailingly polite and informative and his video regarding how to complete the necessary forms was a valuable tool too. The entire process was quick and relatively easy. I especially appreciated not having to deal with a jaded, impatient, figure--it-out-yourself kind of person when I was treading in really unfamiliar territory. My questions were always answered quickly and efficiently.I highly recommend this company in your time of need for quick, efficient and professional service with no attitude or delay.read more

Jeremy Wolf, is compassionate and understanding. He has been there and done it with his own family, and together with his wife they dedicate their time and energy into helping other families come together. I know this because my husband was taken by ICE and his bond was set much higher than I could have imagined, having in my hands at any given time. ... With Jeremy, his wife and the rest of the team we were able to piece together the required 80% and set up a affordable and convient payment plan. It was a grueling process, at times I felt like I was going to loose all my hair, as I ran around selling homemade tamales, and had various other fund raisers going on, along with my husband being detained, I lost my home, my dog and my daughter and I pushed forward with the help and support of Jeremy and his team, if It wasn't for there hours of help and dedication, to put a previous bond for my nephew into action to help my husband, we wouldn't have been able to have him home for the Holidays. ... To Jeremy, Veronica, and Amber, who I spoke with often, and the other parts of the team who I was unable to catch their names, I THANK YOU, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!read more
