A San Francisco woman whose husband and two sons were gunned down — allegedly by an illegal immigrant who remained in the city despite previous crimes — is demanding the city do something about its sanctuary law.
Danielle Bologna was widowed on June 22 when Edwin Ramos, 21, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, allegedly gunned down her husband, Anthony, and two sons, Matthew and Michael, in a road rage incident when her family was returning from a picnic.
Ramos has been charged with three counts of murder in the case, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
"It was a senseless crime, and had they done something this animal would not have taken my family," Bologna told FOX News on Monday. "I feel that the government should have stepped in. I feel that they allow these immigrants to come in and how dare they strip our families like this."
The Chronicle reported that Ramos was convicted of two gang-related felonies while a juvenile and remained in San Francisco because the Juvenile Probation Department did not alert federal authorities. San Francisco's 1989 "City of Refuge" ordinance prohibits city agencies from contacting the feds on immigration matters.
I Want Justice The newspaper also found that federal officials knew about Ramos' immigration status in March when he was arrested on a gun charge, though they couldn't tell the Chronicle why they didn't put an immigration hold on Ramos.
Bologna blames the city.
"It should have been resolved at the beginning, when this guy had done more than one crime in the city," she told FOX News. "I want justice. I want the people to see: If my family wasn't safe, what makes you think yours will be?"

@ makeme708 They are undocumented immigrants who pay off for YOUR welfare and are paying off for YOUR social security and all the disability benefits citizens are able to get. Go to school kid, learn to think.
@greenjeansmjr Please share the wonderful resources where you get your infomration? FOX perhaps? I hope it is coming from academic research and public policy books related to immigration, public health, government and other related topics. If you're trusting the media....

@lanena865 Dismissing those with differing view as "all of you are ignorant", and "brainwashed you all", seems a bit irrational and illogical. Many of us get our information from several credible, international sources. And, I am quite well educated and well read.
Why do you feel it necessary to indentify the reporter's race?
And, Chris admits to breaking Federal law.
This is about criminal illegal immigrants, not legal immigrants.

All of you are so ignorant. Read up, become educated, you hate so much undocumented immigrants when they contribute so much to the economy, they are not qualified for services so they don't use up any of your stupid healthcare or welfare, you're all just ignorant for thinking this way without any basis to what you're saying. READ, go to school, take classes, OTHER THAN THE MEDIA which brainwashed you all to think like this! This white reporter is obviously full of hatred towards immigrants.

Illegals are spinning out of control. Sanctuary? Our laws are to serve US citizens. Being here ILLEGALLY does not entitle anyone. This free pass/look the other way has gone on for FAR too long. Enforce laws that exist. AZ is doing what the US should. Simple. All you sanctuary city polititians, you will be out of your jobs soon. Start packing.
