The murder of Kate Steinle became the center of an extensive debate around immigration law, and more specifically the unintended consequences of sanctuary cities.
Kate’s promising life tragically ended when an illegal immigrant fired a pistol at a pier in San Francisco. The bullet struck her in the back, and despite her youth and good health, she eventually succumbed to those injuries in the hospital. Once again, this didn’t have to happen – if California enforced the laws on the books, Kate would almost certainly still be alive today.
