San Francisco’s immigrant sanctuary policies played a “substantial” role in the deaths of a father and two of his sons by shielding the alleged killer from deportation despite his violent history, according to a legal claim lodged on behalf of the victims’ family today.
The claim – the first step in filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the city – was lodged by the family of Tony Bologna, 48, and his sons Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16, who were shot to death on an Excelsior district street June 22. Edwin Ramos, 21, of El Sobrante, who authorities say is a member of a street gang, has been charged with three counts of murder.
Tony Bologna’s wife, Danielle, and other relatives denounced the city’s sanctuary practices in interviews after The Chronicle reported that Ramos, a Salvadoran native suspected of being in this country illegally, was found as a juvenile to have committed felony attempted robbery and assault.The Chronicle reported that officials with the Juvenile Probation Department had not referred Ramos to federal immigration authorities for possible deportation, under their interpretation of San Francisco’s sanctuary city ordinance. That law bars city officials from cooperating with federal crackdowns on illegal immigrants.
