SF LAW PROPOSED TO BAN IMMIGRANT DETENTIONS: SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A proposal being considered by supervisors would make it illegal for San Francisco law enforcement officials to detain someone solely on the basis of immigration status.

The proposed law will be considered by a board committee made up of its supporters Thursday, where it is expected to be approved.

Supervisor John Avalos, who authored the proposal, argues that the current situation has created a "dragnet" that is wrongfully sweeping up innocent people. He says there needs to be a "basic standard of proof" to show that someone is undocumented and deserves to be detained.

Police Chief Greg Suhr says he wants to see convicted violent felons, sex offenders and those with prior weapons possession convictions exempted from the law.
