Kate Steinle’s Illegal Alien Killer Found Not Guilty of Negligent Homicide by California Jury
by

Not. Guilty.

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate had been deported five times and was wanted for a sixth deportation when Kate Steinle was fatally shot in the back in 2015. Garcia Zarate said the shooting was an accident.

Under a sanctuary city law, the San Francisco sheriff’s department had released Garcia Zarate from jail despite a federal immigration request to detain him for deportation

He was found guilty on possessing a weapon. The gun shot itself.

Jeff Sessions addressed the verdict perfectly by blaming San Francisco’s sanctuary city laws. The California state and local government chose a foreign criminal over a lawful citizen.

“When jurisdictions choose to return criminal aliens to the streets rather than turning them over to federal immigration authorities, they put the public’s safety at risk.

San Francisco’s decision to protect criminal aliens led to the preventable and heartbreaking death of Kate Steinle. While the State of California sought a murder charge for the man who caused Ms. Steinle’s death-a man who would not have been on the streets of San Francisco if the city simply honored an ICE detainer-the people ultimately convicted him of felon in possession of a firearm. The Department of Justice will continue to ensure that all jurisdictions place the safety and security of their communities above the convenience of criminal aliens. I urge the leaders of the nation’s communities to reflect on the outcome of this case and consider carefully the harm they are doing to their citizens by refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement officers.”

San Francisco has blood on its hands. A family is without their daughter and sister.

UPDATE:

His punishment? Being deported for the sixth time. Unreal.
