Well my and my son was -- second year law student in San Francisco and he was coming home from school.

On his motorcycle riding very slowly it was rush hour traffic.

Gallo at the last second tried to make a left hand turn and they and hit him in the intersection.

I believe that.

The original collision didn't kill my son they were both going very slowly.

Gallows then accelerated and drove over my son's body.

And he's got stuff he couldn't go for their further because my son's helmet came off and got stuck underneath is will he backed up and drove over in the second time.

And then -- and what I believe trying to escape he then went forward again and only because a very brave.

Personally gotten out of their car and stood in front of his he -- unfortunately his tire was when my son's abdomen.

And five men had to lift the car off and it's just there.

That once Gallo was released from prison he now has -- two misdemeanors.

And under the temporary protective status law which is.

Not the least bit temporary been very protective.

He should be deported.

I'm so I asked their office to contact ice I wanted -- taken into custody the second he got out of prison and then you know go -- the deportation hearings.

They did contact ice in San Francisco.

Which told them no they weren't gonna take him into custody and they -- gonna deport them because as far as they were concerned -- -- only told one person.

And that's only one that crime of moral turpitude.

And his other misdemeanor didn't count.

And his and that's just not -- the -- And what's happened agenda -- -- announced new prosecutorial.

Guidelines by which there is a much higher threshold.

By which people are deported in America -- said that was a political move.
