    Thanks to SF Immigration policy Kate Steinle dies.

    A man suspected in the shooting death of a woman at a busy San Francisco tourist destination has seven felony convictions and has been deported five times, most recently in 2009, a federal agency said Friday.

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had turned Francisco Sanchez over to San Francisco police March 26 on an outstanding drug warrant, agency spokeswoman Virginia Kice said.

    Sheriff's officials let Sanchez go after drug charges against him were dismissed. San Francisco, a "sanctuary city," refuses to enforce federal immigration holds. And as news of his circumstances broke, that pro-immigrant policy -- shared by many other cities -- became embroiled in controversy once again.

    In this case, officials with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement asked to be notified if Sanchez was released so they could take him back into custody, but the city did not do so, said agency spokeswoman Virginia Kice.
    Julie Meyers Wood, who was director of ICE between 2006 and 2008, described the current system as a "real mess right now."

    Federal records show Sanchez has seven prior felony convictions, four of which were for drug charges. Records indicate his convictions took place in states including Texas, Oregon and Arizona. And a law enforcement source said the case that landed Sanchez in San Francisco jail most recently was for a marijuana case that was about 20 years old.

    Police have described the shooting as random, as she was not robbed and never even exchanged words with the man who killed her. Kathryn Steinle's father, Jim Steinle, said she was taken in the prime of her life. "She had so much to live for and died so senselessly,” he said Thursday. “It’s terrible.”

    Perhaps they should include the Justice Department?
    I'm no fan, but I'm waiting for Donald Trump to come out go "Told ya so!" "War on Women!" White Lives Matter!"

    The OP did say ICE asked to be notified so they could take him back into custody.

    Yes, that is in the story; but when is the Attorney General going to shut down the program of sanctuary cities? The idea that they can ignore the laws of the State and Federal Government and do so with impunity and all in the name of votes and political expediency. If tomorrow my city became a "Sanctuary City" for guns and decided to ignore State and Federal Laws, how long do you think it would take for some sort of action?
    The guy was a repeat offender with multiple felony charges and SF decides to thumb their nose at the request and so far,.....all you hear is the crickets chirping, oh and these articles linked above.
    And for her to say this,
    "Julie Meyers Wood, who was director of ICE between 2006 and 2008, described the current system as a "real mess right now.""
    The Feds are aware, but it isn't going to be fixed any time soon.

    And that will be their defense. They are not going to beat the Fed, but they probably could win against the locals.

    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    "Help me, Dad!"

    Decades of failure to enforce immigration laws, and THIS is what it comes down to.

    Lots of us could say we tried to get the word out, but obviously no one cared enough. Collateral damage is just one of those things, I guess.

    Like Paul Newman said in "Exodus" at the funeral of the young girl killed by Arab terrorists: "I want to howl."

    22 years, Special Agent, INS.
