Public defense attorneys Francisco Ugarte and Matt Gonzalez lectured President Trump on Thursday after getting five-time deported illegal alien Jose Ines Garcia Zarate acquitted in the killing of Kate Steinle, claiming “nothing” about his immigration status “had any relevance as to what happened on July 4, 2015.”
“From day one this case was used to foment hate, to foment division, to foment the program of mass deportation,” public defense attorney Francisco Ugarte said shortly after the verdict. “It was used to catapult the presidency along that philosophy of hate of others. I believe today is a vindication for the rights of immigrants, and that today we have to reflect all of us on how we talked about this case in the beginning, and how this is a reflection and a reaction on the base of the racial dynamics of this case. Nothing about Garcia Zarate’s ethnicity, nothing about his immigration status, nothing about the fact that he was born in Mexico had any relevance as to what happened on July 4, 2015.”
Zarate was slated to be deported for a sixth time but the San Francisco sheriff’s department released him from jail despite a federal immigration request to detain him for deportation.
As CBS News reports:
Before the shooting, Garcia Zarate had finished a federal prison sentence for illegal re-entry into the United States and was transferred in March 2015 to San Francisco’s jail to face a 20-year-old charge for selling marijuana.
The sheriff’s department released him a few days later after the district attorney dropped the marijuana charge, despite a U.S. request to detain him for deportation.
San Francisco is a “sanctuary city” for illegal alien criminals.
The fact is if this killer had stayed in Mexico then Steinle would still be alive today.
