San Francisco Scams The Federal Government, Gets Busted

A city which is more than 500 miles from the Mexican border requested grant money for Southwest bordering states to fight the war on drugs. The requirement for the grant is that the cities must prosecute drug cases referred to them by the federal gov't. San Francisco claimed to have handled 2,241 of these cases, yet a federal audit finds that they had ZERO. Now, the fed's want their money back. It should be with interest. As a sanctuary city, San Francisco deserves every ill that comes with illegal immigration.

The U.S. Department of Justice wants San Francisco to repay $5.4 million in grant money earmarked to help fight the war on drugs in states bordering Mexico because federal auditors found the city was not eligible for the funding.

San Francisco had sought the grant under the Southwest Border Prosecution Initiative, which compensates law enforcement agencies in California and other border states for the costs of handling prosecutions in lieu of federal authorities.

As of March of last year, the city claimed it had handled more than 2,241 such cases, but a federal audit released this week found that none of the cases had been referred by federal officials to District Attorney Kamala Harris' office as required under the program.
