2015.07.01 Shooting of Kate Steinle

Francisco Sanchez was convicted of felonies, deported, and SF kept letting him go, until he killed a tourist.

Francisco Sanchez was arrested dozens of times, convicted of 7 felonies, deported 5 times, but SF kept letting him go, and wouldn't help ICE (despite multiple requests). Finally, he stole a gun from U.S. Bureau of Land Management ranger's car, and shot and killed Kathryn "Kate" Steinle on the pier by “accident". Then they let him go on murder/manslaughter charges again.

Details[edit | edit source]

José Inez García Zárate (aka Francisco Sanchez) was arrested innumerable times (he had about a dozen aliases)
he'd been convicted of felonies on 7 prior occasions, and deported 5 other times
SF kept letting him go and wouldn't detain him or share information on his capture with the ICE despite their repeated requests. (Sanctuary City means illegal aliens aren't subject to our laws).
Finally, On March 26, 2015, the prison had turned him over to San Francisco authorities for an outstanding drug warrant, and despite ICE issuing a detainer for him (requesting that he be kept in custody until immigration authorities could pick him up), SF did not honor the detainer and let him go on April 15.
On June 27th a gun was stolen from U.S. Bureau of Land Management ranger's car (and the windows broken).
On July 1, 2015 he shot and killed Kathryn "Kate" Steinle on the pier by “accident”. He claims he was shooting at the sea lions and missed. Which is also a major crime (up to $10,000 fine for each incident).
On November 30, 2017, after five days of deliberations, the jury acquitted García Zárate of all murder and manslaughter charges, but convicted him of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Then sentenced him to time served and let him go on that. Deported him again, and told him to not come back.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

When one of these repeat felons murders someone, the city plays dumb and claims “who knew?” that a repeat felon, with multiple violent crimes and complaints, and that had been deported many times, was a threat to public safety? Only anyone with a clue.

This incident started an effort for Kate's law, which says come if you come back illegally (after 2 aggravated felonies) and you get 5 year minimum, after 3 felonies or more, it is a 10 year minimum. In a mostly party line vote, Republicans passed it, Democrats filibustered it. Let them eat lead. Thanks Democrats.
