SF Mayor Under Fire by Dems

(San Francisco, California) Mayor Gavin Newsom is feeling some heat for changing the sanctuary city policy in San Francisco. Now criminally-charged illegal youths are turned over to immigration authorities sparking protest from some city leaders.
The San Francisco Democratic Party has thrust the city's controversial sanctuary city policy back into the spotlight, overwhelmingly passing a resolution blasting the mayor for turning over undocumented youths arrested for felonies to federal authorities.

The resolution passed by the influential Democratic County Central Committee late Wednesday night also accuses police of racial profiling in making traffic stops in neighborhoods with big immigrant populations.
I can understand the controversy regarding sanctuary city status but the accusations of racial profiling don't make sense. If law enforcers go into an immigrant neighborhood, I doubt if racial profiling is required to arrest an immigrant.
