The Department of Justice unsealed an arrest warrant Friday for Jose Inez Garcia Zarate, the illegal immigrant acquitted Thursday in Kate Steinle’s murder trial.
Zarate was found not guilty of murdering Steinle on a pier in San Francisco in July 2015 (RELATED: HORRIFYING Verdict In Case Of 5X Deported Illegal Alien Killer). Steinle was walking with her father and a family friend when she was shot, collapsing into her father’s arms.
Zarate had been released from a San Francisco jail about three months before the shooting, despite a request by federal immigration authorities to detain him for deportation. The case sparked a widespread national debate over illegal immigration and sanctuary cities (RELATED: Trump Spokeswoman Responds To Stunning Verdict By NUKING San Francisco).
