Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, the fellow who murdered Kate Steinle with a stolen firearm on a San Francisco pier, and was sentenced to a mere three years for being a felon with a gun last week, was indicted by a federal grand jury on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press<\/a>, on one count each of felon in possession of a firearm and of “being an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States” in possession of a gun and ammunition.<\/p>\n

Garcia Zarate had been deported five time[s] before the shooting. The San Francisco sheriff’s department also released him from jail several weeks before the shooting despite a request from federal immigration officials to detain him for deporation.<\/p>\n

San Francisco is a so-called sanctuary city and local officials are limited in the cooperation they can give with federal deportation efforts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Garcia Zatate now faces felony charges for possessing a gun and bullets and for being “an illegally present alien in possession of a firearm and ammunition,” according to a press release from the Department of Justice’s Northern District of California.<\/p>\n

The indictment charges Garcia Zarate, 47, with handling a semi-autom[t]aic pistol and multiple rounds of ammunition on July 1, 2015, the day Steinle was shot and killed on San Francisco’s Pier 14.<\/p>\n

Officials said the indictment “merely alleges that a crime has been committed and Garcia Zarate, like all defendants, is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.”<\/p>\n

Garcia Zarate faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison if convicted of either felony charge<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s odd that the media would blame President Trump for the hoopla surrounding this case, we wrote about it before Trump announced that he was running for president. Americans’ frustration with immigration enforcement in this country existed long before there was a candidate Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
