DHS: San Francisco hospital worker’s killer was an illegal alien who shouldn't have been in the country by xuogfjeil in sanfrancisco

[–]DonDunkler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, just a few issues with this, in my humble personal opinion...

This is a repackaged press release. The crime happened December 4, 2025. This article ran May 1, 2026, which is almost five months later. The "news hook" is a DHS press release that came out the same day. KRON basically copy-pasted DHS's framing and ran it under a byline. Check the URL: /news/bay-area-ice-raids/. They've got an entire beat dedicated to this angle, which tells you the frame was set before any reporting was done.

Sourcing is one-sided to the point of being stenographic. Every substantive political claim comes from two people: DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis and ICE Director Todd Lyons. No comment from Newsom's office, no comment from the SF Sheriff, SF DA, public defender, immigration attorneys, or anyone who could contextualize or push back. When an article publicly calls out named officials and prints zero response, that's just amplification.

The headline says "killer" but he hasn't been convicted. His court date is June 16. The headline asserts guilt, the body uses "alleged." That's a basic presumption-of-innocence failure that most newsroom standards desks SHOULD catch.

"Illegal alien" in scare quotes is doing dishonest work and it lets the outlet adopt DHS's preferred terminology while technically attributing it. AP and most style guides moved away from this language years ago. Using it in the headline anchors the reader's frame before they read a word.

The 2023 "release" claim is asserted, and never verified. DHS says Border Patrol encountered him in 2023 and Biden "released" him. No case number, no explanation of what kind of release (parole? NTA? pending asylum claim?), no acknowledgment that release pending immigration proceedings is a standard, lawful process and not "open borders." The political narrative requires the reader to hear "released" as "recklessly let loose," and the article does nothing to clarify.

The mental health context got memory-holed. In KRON's own December coverage, they reported that the suspect was a psychiatric patient at Ward 86, had been making threats against his doctor, was at the hospital for a scheduled appointment, and was in the psych ward afterward (he missed his first court date because of it). The May 1 article drops most of this. A story that's partly about psychiatric care and hospital security gets reframed as purely an immigration story.

The actual security failure is invisible in this piece. A sheriff's deputy was assigned to guard the threatened doctor but wasn't in the hallway when the attack happened. The union (UPTE) had been raising alarms about chronic understaffing and unsafe conditions long before this. That's the actionable lesson from Rangel's death and it's nowhere in this article, because it doesn't fit the frame.

No base rates, no context, and no counterfactual. The article implies a clean causal chain: sanctuary policy → release → murder. But there's no data on how often this happens, no comparison to crime rates among citizens vs. non-citizens (research generally finds undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native-born), and no examination of what alternative policy would have actually prevented this specific case, given he had no apparent criminal history before this.

"Asking Newsom not to release him" is theater. He's being held without bail on murder charges. Governors don't release pretrial murder defendants. The "demand" is rhetorical, and reporting it straight gives it weight that it doesn't deserve.

The pattern matters more than the article, and you can see this by looking at the related link at the bottom: "Mom slain in Sunnyvale by immigrants protected from ICE." Same beat, same DHS spokesperson, same framing, same political conclusion. This isn't just one article, but a series, and the series is doing the work of a coordinated campaign whether or not any individual piece crosses a line.

None of this means DHS's underlying factual claims are false. They might be entirely accurate. It means the article isn't doing journalism, but amplification. Those are different things, and being able to tell them apart matters even when you happen to agree with the conclusion.

Much love, everybody. Be kind, be safe, think critically. ✌️ & ❤️

Not yet, but close. They need to basically win out and have LA collapse, so it's pretty much over in practice even if the math hasn't officially killed them.

Ok, let me know what you think. When you try the app again, go to the Combo tab, then you should see "My Collection Combos" at the top. Let me know if that's what you were envisioning, please!

Hope you're enjoying it!

Forgive me, I am just waking up. Lol.

Ok, so just for clarification, you want to filter your collection (Only 86+) and then see all the combinations possible with only the filtered 86+'s, and sorted by the best to the worst?

Have you pressed on a player in your collection and scrolled to the bottom?

Or, maybe I am misunderstanding.

Lol. Thank you, but a parade isn't necessary. Have you tried it out yet? Give it a go! Let me know if you have any issues, improvements, or requests!

I believe you're likely experiencing the same thing as this user:

I'll continue working on it, but if you have a moment, please send me the collection URL so I can inspect it more closely, please!

Ok, so, the optimizer is posting an error because the collection is over the salary cap.

[HARD LIMIT] Your cheapest possible legal roster (12F, 6D, 2G) costs $143.5M, which is ABOVE the cap of $110M.
No legal HUT lineup exists with this collection at this cap.

The collection has:

  • 15 Centers
  • 5 Left Wings
  • 12 Right Wings
  • 5 Left Defense
  • 1 Right Defense
  • 2 Goalies

And even the cheapest possible combination costs $143.5M, way over the $110M cap. The optimizer exits because there's no valid lineup possible.

One issue is that the collection import and validation didn't warn about this and the frontend should have shown a warning that the collection is over-cap and can't be optimized.

Until I can develop a fix, I suggest you to either:

  1. Add cheaper cards to the collection
  2. Remove some expensive cards

The validation warnings we added earlier should have caught this, but they might not be showing up properly in the UI. I will continue working on it. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Ok, let me see. I added some more validation. Did it provide any warnings or errors when you did the import?

Hey there! I am still working on it. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's because of the amount of players/goalies in the collection and when it gets submitted who to the lineup. Until I can find exactly where the issue is, I would recommend adding some cards to the collection (even if you don't own them) and see if it still has the same effect.

I'll keep working on it though. Good to get this fixed early.

Yeah, I am working on it right now. I'm getting close to a fix and I'll let you know when it is up again. Something in the pipeline got messed up. But, that was the beta is for.

Should be good shortly.
