Immigrant law loopholes threaten SF mayor's bid - washingtonpost.com

Immigrant law loopholes threaten SF mayor's bid - washingtonpost.com: "SAN FRANCISCO -- Recent uproar over San Francisco's liberal-leaning policies toward illegal immigrants is threatening to derail two top city officials' bids for statewide office as they work to appeal to more conservative voters.
One month after Mayor Gavin Newsom announced his candidacy for governor, he came under fire for a loophole in the city's long-standing sanctuary policy that allowed undocumented immigrant minors charged with crimes to not be deported. Instead, they were flown home or housed in the state at the city's expense."
