The U.S. Department of Justice has requested that San Francisco's Sheriff Paul Miyamoto disclose information on non-citizens held in county jails with criminal charges or convictions. This request conflicts with San Francisco's status as a sanctuary city, which limits cooperation with ICE. The DOJ indicated that cooperation is voluntary but may pursue compulsory measures if necessary. Sheriff Miyamoto views the request as an effort to focus on individuals with criminal backgrounds. The Immigrant Legal Resource Center sees this letter as a tactic aimed at local policies, characterizing it as a threat from the federal government.
