Kate Steinle (2015, San Francisco)
<\/strong>32-year-old Kathryn \u201cKate\u201d Steinle was shot and killed on July 1, 2015, while walking with her father on Pier 14. The shooter, Jos\u00e9 Inez Garc\u00eda Z\u00e1rate (also known as Juan Francisco L\u00f3pez-S\u00e1nchez), an illegal immigrant from Mexico who had been deported multiple times, fired a single .40-caliber round that ricocheted off the pier and struck her in the back. He claimed he found the stolen gun and it discharged accidentally. A San Francisco jury later acquitted him of murder and manslaughter charges but convicted him on a firearm possession count (later overturned on appeal). He had been released by local authorities despite an ICE detainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLaken Riley (2024, Athens, Georgia)
<\/strong>22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley was attacked and murdered on February 22, 2024, while jogging near the University of Georgia campus.

He was sentenced to life without parole. Prosecutors said he targeted her while \u201chunting for females.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJocelyn Nungaray (2024, Houston, Texas)

<\/strong>An illegal immigrant from Honduras previously deported, he was in Philadelphia custody in 2014 when ICE lodged a detainer. Local authorities released him under sanctuary policies. After release, he repeatedly raped a young child (his girlfriend\u2019s daughter) over an extended period. He later received a lengthy state prison sentence for the sexual assaults plus additional federal time for illegal reentry. U.S. prosecutors explicitly linked the failure to honor the detainer to the subsequent crimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anyone who is objecting to ICE doing their job needs to read this, titled “The Hard Truth About the Sanctuary Movement”https:\/\/impri The Hard Truth About the Sanctuary Movement Kate Steinle (2015, San Francisco)32-year-old Kathryn \u201cKate\u201d Steinle was shot and killed on July 1, 2015, while walking with her father on Pier 14.
