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.”

This is progress people . . .

:suicide:

And a necessary cost at that evidently…

I hope Steinle’s family sues the hell out of the City of SF and the Sheriff…and wins!

5

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!"

6

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

7

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.

8

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

“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.

ICE literally can do nothing in California with immigration hold due to sanctuary cities and the state law known as the “Trust Act” If you want to look and see what the politics of progressivism and illegals will do, look no further than big cities in California. Add Compstat driving the policy of policing in the mix and you have a perfect storm of liberal policy.

The “Whatever” is strong in us.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Still not as bad as these loving parents, the old adage “Some people are so open minded their brains fall out” bares to mind . . .

Back story:

Amy Elizabeth Biehl (April 26, 1967 – August 25, 1993) was a white American graduate of Stanford University and an Anti-Apartheid activist in South Africa who was murdered by black Cape Town residents while a black mob shouted anti-white slurs. The four men convicted of her murder were released as part of the Truth and Reconciliation process.

As she drove a friend home to the township of Guguletu, outside Cape Town, on August 25, 1993, a black mob pulled her from the car and stabbed and stoned her to death.[2][3] The attack on the car driven by Amy Biehl was one of many incidents of general lawlessness on the NY1 road that afternoon. Bands of toyi-toying black youths threw stones at delivery vehicles and cars driven by white people. One delivery vehicle was toppled over and set alight and only the arrival of the police prevented more damage. There was evidence that some of the possessions of Amy Biehl and the passengers in her car were stolen.[4] According to Rex van Schalkwyk, in his 1998 book One Miracle is Not Enough: “Supporters of the three men accused of murdering [her] … burst out laughing in the public gallery of the Supreme Court today when a witness told how the battered woman groaned in pain.” (pp. 188–89.) Four people were convicted of killing her.[5]:17–18 In 1998, all were pardoned by South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission when they stated that their actions had been politically motivated.[1]:71

Biehl’s family supported the release of the men, and her father shook their hands, stating:

“ The most important vehicle of reconciliation is open and honest dialogue … we are here to reconcile a human life which was taken without an opportunity for dialogue. When we are finished with this process we must move forward with linked arms

And in the meantime the two clowns of the Party of Dead Elephants fight in the media;
http://www.aol.com/article/2015/07/04/bush-says-he-takes-trumps-immigration-remarks-personally/21205012/?cps=gravity_4881_-1778206301692516521
“No one suggests that we shouldn’t control our borders - everybody has a belief that we should control our borders,” he said. “But to make these extraordinarily ugly kind of comments is not reflective of the Republican Party. Trump is wrong on this.”
When Trump announced his presidential bid last month, he criticized Mexico and immigrants who come to the U.S. illegally. “They’re bringing drugs,” he said. “They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”

http://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2015/07/04/game-on-trump-responds-to-jeb/

Read Trump’s statement below:

I am very proud to be fighting for a strong and secure border. This is a very important issue, which all the other candidates would have ignored had I not started this important discussion. I will fix the border — no one else knows where to begin.

Today, Jeb Bush once again proves that he is out of touch with the American people. Just like the simple question asked of Jeb on Iraq, where it took him five days and multiple answers to get it right, he doesn’t understand anything about the border or border security. In fact, Jeb believes illegal immigrants who break our laws when they cross our border come “out of love.”

Yeah Jeb, there are some folks out there saying we shouldn’t control our Borders, they are called Democrats.
Donald, you really need to leave now, you aren’t a Republican and this stuff is starting to hurt your bottom line.

I, I, I, what a freaking egomaniac. Dude, go have someone fix your weave and STFU. I don’t like the media whore.

I could truly see myself doing this. It would be a good tactic to get them to let their guards down, and then I’d eat their hearts.

She is obviously much more spiritual than I am capable of being.

18

how is any more legal for a police officer to refuse to honor an ICE hold, than for a county court to refuse to comply with the recent supreme court rulings?

19

You’re assuming they have hearts in the context of “soul, basic humanity, conscience.”

I guess I’m not very spiritual, my only goal would be to bring their existence to an end.

That this guy was still there and with a firearm is mindblowing. Forgive my language but **** California in general.
