The Liberal politicians of San Francisco are just as responsible for the death of Kate Steinle as is Sanchez.
"Francisco Sanchez had been deported to Mexico five times before he says he shot and killed a woman last week on Pier 14, but he knew San Francisco was a sanctuary city where immigration authorities would not detain him.
In a jailhouse interview Sunday with KGO-TV, Sanchez admitted that he shot 32-year-old Kate Steinle, but said it was an accident. He said he found the gun on the ground wrapped in a T-shirt and that it went off three times as he unwrapped it.

San Francisco, which has one of the most lenient “sanctuary city” policies in the nation, does not hold those identified as illegal immigrants by ICE without a judicial determination or arrest warrant.
“We followed both the city ordinance and our policy, which is that we don’t honor ICE detainers — which are a request, not a legal basis,” Freya Horne, spokeswoman for the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department, told the San Francisco Chronicle."

According to one story I read today, Francisco had to be prompted in Spanish to express regret over killing someone. They didn't translate the prompting into English.
