In a shock verdict decision back in December, illegal alien Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was found “not guilty” in the murder of 32-year old Katie Steinle, whom he shot and killed in 2015. The jury was convinced that there was a possibility that the firearm discharge could’ve been accidental. The jury only convicted Zarate of felony possession of a weapon. He had seven previous felony convictions and had been deported five times previously before finding “sanctuary” in San Francisco.
The verdict quickly produced outrage, especially from numerous figures in the White House, including spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders and President Donald Trump himself.
A disgraceful verdict in the Kate Steinle case! No wonder the people of our Country are so angry with Illegal Immigration.

While he was acquitted in the murder of Kate Steinle, according to a warrant issued by the U.S. District Court for the western district of Texas, Zarate was subject to supervised released beginning March 26th, 2015. That probation barred him from committing another crime and from possessing a firearm – terms he was obviously bound by when he killed Steinle.
ICE also said that they had planned on deporting Zarate (for the sixth time).
Now, in some parody of justice, Zarate is suing the federal government. According to Breitbart,
Zarate has sued the federal government, demanding that it produce documents “pertaining to vindictive prosecution and collusion” with the state government in its prosecution against him.
Zarate is alleging “that federal agencies colluded with the San Francisco police, district attorney’s office and sheriff’s office” and that he is being subjected to double jeopardy — being tried for the same crime twice.
In the motion, filed Tuesday, Garcia-Zarate’s attorney complains: “Almost immediately after the death of Ms. Steinle, then presidential candidate Donald Trump began to use Mr. Garcia-Zarate as the symbol of the dangers of illegal immigrants and the need for a wall between the United States and Mexico.” The attorney also cites several tweets by President Donald Trump as proof that his client is being subjected to unfair treatment.
It’ll be interesting to see how far this lawsuit goes – especially considering the reality that California is currently battling the feds over a state law that restricts cooperation and communication between state and local governments and federal immigration officials. If the state of California (and San Francisco in particular) has proven anything, it’s that they don’t want any federal interference with their liberal policies on illegal immigration.
What do you think about this case? Sound off in the comment section below!
The family of Kate Steinle should sue Zarate in civil court for damages. OJ won the criminal case but lost the civil. This way if this criminal does come into money it goes directly to The Steinie’s family.
Id be okay with my tax dollars going that way!
Shawn: Perfectly stated.
They should have just killed the guy. If they don’t want to do that then they need to tattoo his face before deporting him which would make it obvious that if he comes back in he is to be shot on the spot. You just can’t waste money sending these illegals back so the can come again; harsh punishment needs to be implemented so the fear of God is put in them. A slap on the wrist and a free ride back doesnt cut it. Do like they do in the middle east when someone steals something, cut off their hand’ in this case, cut off a foot so the come across. It would serve them right if they know the consequences.
“Illegal Alien Who Killed Kate Steinle Sues Federal Government”
Well, gotta give the guy (or his attorneys) credit for having Mastodon-sized balls for trying this.
The trigger still needed to be pulled by a person, in this case it was an ILLEGAL that should have not been here in the first place and second what the hell was this ILLEGAL doing with a gun?
Oh yes now I know. His being here with a gun was given to him by DEMOCRATS
Demo lawyer wants to sue the American people for an illegal who was deported 5 times from this Country. Shoot the S.O.B.
THIS GUY IS TOO STUPID TO PULL THIS OFF, IT IS THE DOINGS OF A CROOKED ATTORNEY TRYING TO MAKE THE TAX PAYERS PAY THEIR SALARY, I SUGGEST THAT THE ATTORNEY HAVE TO PAY ALL COURT COSTS AND SERVE THE TIME OF THIS CROOK.
i got a feeling that some california judge will agree but then a normal judge outside of california will over rule it and charge that illegal immigrant for all the costs of the lawsuit. if thaey do that he will flee back to mexico to avoid prosecution lol\
Being Crapifornia, this SOB will probably win the lawsuit and get millions out it.
Some gutsy person should just get rid of this guy – permanently – if you know what I mean.
walk on pier. Find an illegal with a gun. ask him/her if they could find jose. oooopps.
How about I pay him…….In lead. Copper jacketed lead.
Kalifacronia democraps and governor Moon Beam are really sticking it to the Americans there. Still waiting for one of two things to take place; 1. Kalifacornia drifts off into the Pacific or 2 we change the direction of the wall and give this insane asylum to Mexico.
Why bother, Frank? Brown already gave us to Mexico. He has bankrupted us and given us over to illegals.
I want to know who his lawyers are?
He is a worthless POS and a criminal who killed Kate. Dismiss Complaint with prejudice, and sanction his attorney. Arrest Obama the illegal Alien usurper-IslamicJihadist enemy of USA, then deport all three of them to far south of the border and banished from USA on penalty of summary execution by any Natural Born Citizen if caught again on US soil.
WHAT A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE. ONLY IN SAN FRANCISCO. GOD BLESS HER FAMILY.
Just pay him with money allocated for california,specifically money meant to go to San Fransisco!
Just hang him and get it over with. He’s guilty of murder!
