The city of San Francisco cannot be held liable for failing to notify ICE or deport the seven-time felon and undocumented immigrant who shot and killed 32-year-old Kate Steinle in 2015, a court ruled Monday.
The city of San Francisco cannot be held liable for failing to notify ICE or deport the seven-time felon undocumented alien who shot and killed 32-year-old Kate Steinle in 2015, a court ruled Monday.
The Steinle family's May 2016 lawsuit blamed her death on San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi for his agency's refusal to notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement prior to the incident. Steinle was shot dead near San Francisco's Pier 14 in July 2015 and the case was referenced by Trump during his 2016 Republican National Convention speech as he claimed the GOP nomination.
In January 2017, U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph Spero dismissed the negligence claims against the city and found Sheriff Mirkarimi's office had no legal duty to help federal immigration agents deport and detain suspect Jose Ines Garcia-Zarate a.k.a. Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez. He had been deported to Mexico five times prior before landing himself in a San Francisco jail on a marijuana possession charge.
