That charge carried a maximum 10-year sentence and three years of supervised\u00a0release. He will be sent to Texas for another hearing with a federal judge in the Texas Western\u00a0District Court to address a prior case concerning his illegal status.<\/p>\n<p>AP News reported that, when issuing Monday\u2019s verdict, U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria\u00a0warned Garcia-Zarate against returning to the U.S. Prior to the 2015 killing, Garcia-Zarate was\u00a0deported five times and on a federal supervised release from a 2011 Texas conviction\u00a0pertaining to his illegal re-entry in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you return to this country again and you are back in front of me, I will not spare you,\u201d said\u00a0Chhabria. \u201cLet this be your last warning: do not return to this country.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia-Zarate ended up in California in 2015 after Texas authorities transferred him there to\u00a0face a marijuana charge. Prosecutors dropped the charge against Garcia-Zarate and former\u00a0San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi\u2019s office released him early per the city\u2019s sanctuary policy,\u00a0as the San Francisco Chronicle reported.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after, Garcia-Zarate discovered the firearm that would kill Steinle: a semi-automatic\u00a0pistol wrapped in cloth under a pier bench. When Garcia-Zarate fired the pistol, the bullet\u00a0ricocheted off the ground and into Steinle\u2019s back. She died from the gunshot wound two hours later.\u00a0Garcia-Zarate claimed in court proceedings that he didn\u2019t know he was holding a gun and that\u00a0he fired it unintentionally.<\/p>\n<p>Breitbart reporter Kristina Wong shared that she knew one of the nurses who attempted to save\u00a0Steinle. According to Wong, that experience was enough to shift the unidentified nurse\u2019s\u00a0perspective on illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I know one of the nurses who worked to save Steinle that day, and it red-pilled the sh*t out of her against illegal immigrants. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ECydkrlZMp\">https:\/\/t.co\/ECydkrlZMp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kristina Wong \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@kristina_wong) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kristina_wong\/status\/1533942808318513154?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 6, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AP News reported that Garcia-Zarate\u2019s lawyer, Mike Hinckley, said during Monday\u2019s verdict that\u00a0Garcia-Zarate \u201cfeels horrible\u201d about Steinle\u2019s death and remains \u201cvery sorry.\u201d Chhabria\u00a0speculated that Garcia-Zarate must have endured \u201chell,\u201d reflecting on a disclosure that doctors\u00a0diagnosed Garcia-Zarate with schizophrenia, rendering him unfit to stand trial.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Department of Justice (DOJ) press release in mid-March, Garcia-Zarate pled\u00a0guilty to being an illegal immigrant and a felon in possession of a firearm. A jury acquitted\u00a0Garcia-Zarate of murder and involuntary manslaughter in 2017, but found him guilty of felony\u00a0possession of a firearm.<\/p>\n<p>The killing and subsequent acquittal prompted former President Donald Trump to rail against\u00a0the weakness of immigration policy. Trump blamed sanctuary city policies for the tragedy and\u00a0pushed harder on his agenda to finish building the southern border wall, calling the verdict\u00a0\u201cdisgraceful.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Steinle\u2019s parents sued the city of San Francisco for failing to hold Garcia-Zarate for deportation\u00a0proceedings; that lawsuit was dismissed. They also sued the U.S. government for negligence,\u00a0since the semi-automatic pistol fired by Garcia-Zarate came from the unlocked SUV of a federal\u00a0park ranger. That lawsuit was dismissed as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, the illegal immigrant acquitted for the 2015 murder of 32-year-old Californian Kate\u00a0Steinle was sentenced to the seven years\u2019 jail time he\u2019d already served.
