Soon after the jury found Jose Ines Garcia Zarate not guilty of homicide, President Trump took to Twitter to call the verdict in the Steinle case "disgraceful."

The president went on to tweet that Zarate was "always committing crimes and being violent," even though the undocumented immigrant has no history of violent crime.

Zarate was convicted on a single count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Whatever the verdict, this case will continue to impact the "sanctuary city" debate for years to come.
