The speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, \u003ca href=\"https://www.speaker.gov/general/law-kate\">accused him of stealing the gun used to kill Steinle\u003c/a>. Blame for her death was placed squarely on Democratic leaders in San Francisco, who refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But much of what’s been said, and repeated — about Garcia Zarate, and about the circumstances that led to Steinle’s death — isn’t true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the facts: He didn’t have a violent criminal past. The bullet ricocheted before hitting Steinle. There’s no evidence he stole the gun. And federal officials missed their own chance to deport Garcia Zarate before they sent him to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The only reason he ended up in San Francisco is that the federal government decided to send him to San Francisco.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>David Bier, an immigration expert at the libertarian Cato Institute, said nothing proposed since the July 2015 shooting would have saved Kathryn Steinle — including a bill named for her, Kate’s Law, that supporters argue would close loopholes in border security and immigration law that led to her shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The entire narrative based on this case has been: ‘We need to crack down on illegal immigration, we need more border security’ … (but) he had not crossed the border illegally without being caught since the 1990s,” Bier said. “The other common refrain is, ‘This individual was a felon, he’d racked up multiple convictions for felonies in U.S.’ — and that is true, but none of them were violent crimes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bier said after studying the case at length, his takeaway “is that insufficient border enforcement played no role in Kate Steinle’s death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bier believes the actions of federal authorities did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only reason he ended up in San Francisco is that the federal government decided to send him to San Francisco,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How that happened is part of a longer story that does get to the heart of a fight playing out between Democrats and Republicans over how to treat people in the country illegally. But in the courtroom, that’s not going to come up.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Murder Trial\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Lawyers on both sides of Garcia Zarate’s murder trial do not plan on making the case about any larger immigration debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco District Attorney’s Office spokesman Alex Bastian said prosecutors simply want justice for the Steinle family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A loved one is no longer here, and she’s murdered. So we’re going to do everything we can within the court process to bring the family justice,” he said. “When we look at a case, there really are only two things that we have to look at: the facts and the law … to see if we have sufficient evidence to prosecute a case.

They will tell the jury that Garcia Zarate found a gun wrapped in a T-shirt on Pier 14, and that it went off as he was unwrapping it. But Ugarte acknowledged that outside the Hall of Justice, the case has become “an immigration story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s in the narrative, but I think the reason it is, is that Donald Trump put it there, and focused on Mr. Garcia Zarate’s immigration status, as somehow a reason, as a motivating factor, for Ms. Steinle’s death, and keeps repeating that narrative, over and over again,” he said. “But the problem with using this case is that it’s based on a false narrative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez said there is one way the politicization of Steinle’s death has seeped into the murder case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he was not a Mexican immigrant with prior felony convictions, he would not be charged with this crime,” Gonzalez said. “This is a guy with crackers in his pocket, and you don’t become a killer because you find a gun somewhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Sanctuary’ Controversy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the weeks following Steinle’s death, critics pounced on the fact that Garcia Zarate had been released from San Francisco Jail two months before the shooting. Republicans like South Carolina congressman Trey Gowdy fumed, blaming the city’s sanctuary law, which bars local officials from communicating in most cases with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With this horrific criminal history — they released him. So he would be free to walk around, and shoot someone’s daughter, which is exactly what he did,” Gowdy said on the floor of Congress weeks after Steinle’s death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”ni10b85PuIYtOKZrioKQdjn1fzq5LS2I”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Garcia Zarate’s path to that pier where Steinle was shot didn’t start in San Francisco Jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not much is known about his life, but his lawyers describe him as a perpetual migrant, repeatedly coming to the U.S. in search of a way to feed himself, which he couldn’t find in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Zarate never lasted long in the U.S. He kept getting caught. And deported. Then caught again. Garcia Zarate served three prison terms for illegal re-entry between 1998 and his release to San Francisco in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense lawyer Gonzalez said he asked Garcia Zarate why he kept coming back, even after serving prison time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And he said literally, that he was living — he was on a ranch, and there wasn’t enough food for everybody, and he was literally asked to leave because there wasn’t enough food to feed everybody,” Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Garcia Zarate’s string of deportations, he also racked up a handful of felony drug charges — including one in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was the border crossings that landed him in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624519\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11624519\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. \u003ccite>(John Moore/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After two of those prison stints, federal prison officials handed him directly to immigration enforcement agents, who deported him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 2015, they did something different: Instead of calling immigration officials, federal prison authorities called San Francisco about a 20-year-old marijuana charge against Garcia Zarate still on the books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bier of the Cato Institute said that has never made sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really mystifying, and there has not been a good answer, for why they chose this time to send him to San Francisco when in every other instance he was simply deported,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bier noted that after Steinle’s death, federal officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/melanie-hunter/lynch-federal-prisons-must-now-hand-over-illegals-deportation-orders-ice\">changed their policy\u003c/a> so that ICE requests take priority over local county warrants. But at the time, the federal Bureau of Prisons sent Garcia Zarate to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next day, his 20-year-old marijuana charge was dismissed — San Francisco authorities said the evidence was destroyed years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the deputies reporting to then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi were left to figure out what to do with him. For more than two weeks, Garcia Zarate stayed in San Francisco jail as deputies went back and forth with federal prison authorities, making sure he’d served his full federal sentence. He had — so San Francisco released him, even though immigration agents had asked San Francisco to hold Garcia Zarate for deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a routine request from ICE. But San Francisco doesn’t honor those detention requests, because of its sanctuary laws. Many other cities also ignore such detention requests, because they’re simply that: requests. And federal courts have found that if jails do hold people past their criminal release date, it’s a violation of the inmates’ Fourth Amendment rights — and the sheriff can be sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”fS407KniM7kYisCxasJlixFL2r6ARqUU”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi, who was unpopular in San Francisco, was criticized for Garcia Zarate’s release by both Republicans and Democrats — including San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Mirkarimi said the critics who disagreed with his decision to release Garcia Zarate were asking him to ignore the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Really, is that really how cavalier we’re supposed to operate?” Mirkarimi told reporters in 2015. “Just like on a whim or wink or nod, that we just call ICE and say, ‘Hey we’ve got this guy?’ No, we follow the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Eileen Hirst, a spokeswoman for the current sheriff, said if someone like Garcia Zarate were in jail today, he would still be released under San Francisco law. What’s different is that since the shooting, the city has changed its policies so that prosecutors, courts and the sheriff purge old warrants like Garcia Zarate’s from the system if they no longer plan to prosecute them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Trump’s election, San Francisco officials have been unified in their support of the sanctuary law. But broader fault lines among Democrats that emerged because of Steinle’s death remain: For one, the case prompted some Democrats to jump on board when Republicans proposed a law named for Kathryn Steinle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624522\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11624522\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-800x602.jpg\" alt=\"A memorial for Kate Steinle on San Francisco's Pier 14.\" width=\"800\" height=\"602\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-800x602.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-1020x768.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-1180x888.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-960x723.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-240x181.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-375x282.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-520x391.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A memorial for Kate Steinle on San Francisco’s Pier 14. \u003ccite>(Erika Kelly/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kate’s Law passed the House in June.

The speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, \u003ca href=\"https://www.speaker.gov/general/law-kate\">accused him of stealing the gun used to kill Steinle\u003c/a>. Blame for her death was placed squarely on Democratic leaders in San Francisco, who refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But much of what’s been said, and repeated — about Garcia Zarate, and about the circumstances that led to Steinle’s death — isn’t true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the facts: He didn’t have a violent criminal past. The bullet ricocheted before hitting Steinle. There’s no evidence he stole the gun. And federal officials missed their own chance to deport Garcia Zarate before they sent him to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The only reason he ended up in San Francisco is that the federal government decided to send him to San Francisco.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>David Bier, an immigration expert at the libertarian Cato Institute, said nothing proposed since the July 2015 shooting would have saved Kathryn Steinle — including a bill named for her, Kate’s Law, that supporters argue would close loopholes in border security and immigration law that led to her shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The entire narrative based on this case has been: ‘We need to crack down on illegal immigration, we need more border security’ … (but) he had not crossed the border illegally without being caught since the 1990s,” Bier said. “The other common refrain is, ‘This individual was a felon, he’d racked up multiple convictions for felonies in U.S.’ — and that is true, but none of them were violent crimes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bier said after studying the case at length, his takeaway “is that insufficient border enforcement played no role in Kate Steinle’s death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bier believes the actions of federal authorities did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only reason he ended up in San Francisco is that the federal government decided to send him to San Francisco,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How that happened is part of a longer story that does get to the heart of a fight playing out between Democrats and Republicans over how to treat people in the country illegally. But in the courtroom, that’s not going to come up.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Murder Trial\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Lawyers on both sides of Garcia Zarate’s murder trial do not plan on making the case about any larger immigration debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco District Attorney’s Office spokesman Alex Bastian said prosecutors simply want justice for the Steinle family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A loved one is no longer here, and she’s murdered. So we’re going to do everything we can within the court process to bring the family justice,” he said. “When we look at a case, there really are only two things that we have to look at: the facts and the law … to see if we have sufficient evidence to prosecute a case. We’ve charged this case as murder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624510\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11624510\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-800x558.jpg\" alt=\"A well-wisher drops off flowers at the site where 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle was killed on Pier 14 in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-800x558.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-160x112.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-1020x711.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-1180x822.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-960x669.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-240x167.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-375x261.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-520x362.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A well-wisher drops off flowers at the site where 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle was killed on Pier 14 in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The prosecution plans to argue that firing a gun in a crowded place is likely to cause someone’s death — even if Garcia Zarate wasn’t targeting Steinle specifically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His public defenders, Matt Gonzalez and Francisco Ugarte, believe the shooting was an accident. They will tell the jury that Garcia Zarate found a gun wrapped in a T-shirt on Pier 14, and that it went off as he was unwrapping it. But Ugarte acknowledged that outside the Hall of Justice, the case has become “an immigration story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s in the narrative, but I think the reason it is, is that Donald Trump put it there, and focused on Mr. Garcia Zarate’s immigration status, as somehow a reason, as a motivating factor, for Ms. Steinle’s death, and keeps repeating that narrative, over and over again,” he said. “But the problem with using this case is that it’s based on a false narrative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez said there is one way the politicization of Steinle’s death has seeped into the murder case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he was not a Mexican immigrant with prior felony convictions, he would not be charged with this crime,” Gonzalez said. “This is a guy with crackers in his pocket, and you don’t become a killer because you find a gun somewhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Sanctuary’ Controversy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the weeks following Steinle’s death, critics pounced on the fact that Garcia Zarate had been released from San Francisco Jail two months before the shooting. Republicans like South Carolina congressman Trey Gowdy fumed, blaming the city’s sanctuary law, which bars local officials from communicating in most cases with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With this horrific criminal history — they released him. So he would be free to walk around, and shoot someone’s daughter, which is exactly what he did,” Gowdy said on the floor of Congress weeks after Steinle’s death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Garcia Zarate’s path to that pier where Steinle was shot didn’t start in San Francisco Jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not much is known about his life, but his lawyers describe him as a perpetual migrant, repeatedly coming to the U.S. in search of a way to feed himself, which he couldn’t find in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Zarate never lasted long in the U.S. He kept getting caught. And deported. Then caught again. Garcia Zarate served three prison terms for illegal re-entry between 1998 and his release to San Francisco in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense lawyer Gonzalez said he asked Garcia Zarate why he kept coming back, even after serving prison time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And he said literally, that he was living — he was on a ranch, and there wasn’t enough food for everybody, and he was literally asked to leave because there wasn’t enough food to feed everybody,” Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Garcia Zarate’s string of deportations, he also racked up a handful of felony drug charges — including one in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was the border crossings that landed him in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624519\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11624519\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/ICE1920-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. \u003ccite>(John Moore/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After two of those prison stints, federal prison officials handed him directly to immigration enforcement agents, who deported him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 2015, they did something different: Instead of calling immigration officials, federal prison authorities called San Francisco about a 20-year-old marijuana charge against Garcia Zarate still on the books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bier of the Cato Institute said that has never made sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really mystifying, and there has not been a good answer, for why they chose this time to send him to San Francisco when in every other instance he was simply deported,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bier noted that after Steinle’s death, federal officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/melanie-hunter/lynch-federal-prisons-must-now-hand-over-illegals-deportation-orders-ice\">changed their policy\u003c/a> so that ICE requests take priority over local county warrants. But at the time, the federal Bureau of Prisons sent Garcia Zarate to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next day, his 20-year-old marijuana charge was dismissed — San Francisco authorities said the evidence was destroyed years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the deputies reporting to then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi were left to figure out what to do with him. For more than two weeks, Garcia Zarate stayed in San Francisco jail as deputies went back and forth with federal prison authorities, making sure he’d served his full federal sentence. He had — so San Francisco released him, even though immigration agents had asked San Francisco to hold Garcia Zarate for deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a routine request from ICE. But San Francisco doesn’t honor those detention requests, because of its sanctuary laws. Many other cities also ignore such detention requests, because they’re simply that: requests. And federal courts have found that if jails do hold people past their criminal release date, it’s a violation of the inmates’ Fourth Amendment rights — and the sheriff can be sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi, who was unpopular in San Francisco, was criticized for Garcia Zarate’s release by both Republicans and Democrats — including San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Mirkarimi said the critics who disagreed with his decision to release Garcia Zarate were asking him to ignore the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Really, is that really how cavalier we’re supposed to operate?” Mirkarimi told reporters in 2015. “Just like on a whim or wink or nod, that we just call ICE and say, ‘Hey we’ve got this guy?’ No, we follow the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Eileen Hirst, a spokeswoman for the current sheriff, said if someone like Garcia Zarate were in jail today, he would still be released under San Francisco law. What’s different is that since the shooting, the city has changed its policies so that prosecutors, courts and the sheriff purge old warrants like Garcia Zarate’s from the system if they no longer plan to prosecute them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Trump’s election, San Francisco officials have been unified in their support of the sanctuary law. But broader fault lines among Democrats that emerged because of Steinle’s death remain: For one, the case prompted some Democrats to jump on board when Republicans proposed a law named for Kathryn Steinle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624522\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11624522\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-800x602.jpg\" alt=\"A memorial for Kate Steinle on San Francisco's Pier 14.\" width=\"800\" height=\"602\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-800x602.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-1020x768.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-1180x888.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-960x723.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-240x181.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-375x282.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleMemorial-520x391.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A memorial for Kate Steinle on San Francisco’s Pier 14. \u003ccite>(Erika Kelly/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kate’s Law passed the House in June.

The cause of ignition is still unknown. Soon after the fire was reported, however, fire crews arrived and quickly declared it under control.

Fire crews returned to the site of the fire at 8:50 in the morning, when hot spots were already smoking. About an hour later, the fires crews thought the fire was under control. Yet the winds soon intensified, further drying the already drought-parched landscape. By 10:45 a.m. crews were battling several major flare-ups that sent smoke down the residential canyon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was about this time that Margaret Schaefer was going for a walk with her brother-in-law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At about 10 in the morning, and we walk and we do see the smoke in the background,” she recalls. “And I say, ‘Hey Ray, what’s going on here?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told her not to worry since wildfire was common in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we keep walking! And pretty soon I say, ‘Ray, this is not looking very good! And he says, ‘Maybe we should turn back.’ And then suddenly we saw people running.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 11:30 a.m. the fire was completely out of control and residents were evacuating. It was in the next half hour, between 11:30 and 12:00, that the majority of lives were lost and homes burned as the fire swept down the face of Temescal Canyon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaefer had only a few moments to grab the family pets and a handful of items.

Oakland was generous with permits and encouraged the regrowth. Many houses now in the area are larger than the previous homes, though rules are tighter about building with fire-resistant materials and clearing dried brush around yards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cstrong>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Fanning the Flames\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the dried vegetation in the hills that day certainly contributed to the fire, it was the hot seasonal Diablo winds that literally fanned the flames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fireweather.org/\">Fire Weather Research Laboratory\u003c/a> at San Jose State, fire science graduate student Carrie Bowers has made the Diablo Winds her specialty. Bowers is already a bit of a fire expert, having worked nine years as a wildlands firefighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bowers’ project is studying these unique local winds and how they fueled the East Bay Hills fire. She hopes to develop a way to warn fire authorities when the winds are about to get dangerous. She has discovered that the winds that day in 1991 were not as strong as they could have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The East Bay Hills fire was actually not a severe event as far as Diablo events go,” says Bowers. “It was more a moderate-type event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through computer modeling Bowers is able to pinpoint the movement and effects of those Diablo Winds 25 years ago nearly down to the hour. Between 10 and 11 a.m., she says, there was a huge drop in moisture in the air. That’s when the Diablo Winds, coming down from the Central Valley — warming, drying and accelerating as they came — hit the East Bay Hills, sucking out the moisture of the already parched hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each October, when Diablo Winds whip through dried vegetation, neighborhood residents like Jon Kaufman grow watchful. His house came close to burning in 1991, but escaped with minor smoke damage. Kaufman is part of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.claremontcanyon.org/\">Claremont Canyon Conservancy,\u003c/a> a nonprofit that works to improve fire safety in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">Kaufman took me for a drive through the area that burned, pointing out eucalyptus groves and dry brush undergrowth that make it more likely another serious fire will strike the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11139512\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11139512\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A memorial to fire victims known as the Gateway Emergency Preparedness Exhibit Center \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A memorial to fire victims known as the Gateway Emergency Preparedness Exhibit Center \u003ccite>(Danielle Venton/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We drove along Hiller Drive where, by the side of the road, there’s a memorial.

By 10:45 a.m. crews were battling several major flare-ups that sent smoke down the residential canyon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was about this time that Margaret Schaefer was going for a walk with her brother-in-law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At about 10 in the morning, and we walk and we do see the smoke in the background,” she recalls. “And I say, ‘Hey Ray, what’s going on here?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told her not to worry since wildfire was common in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we keep walking! And pretty soon I say, ‘Ray, this is not looking very good! And he says, ‘Maybe we should turn back.’ And then suddenly we saw people running.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 11:30 a.m. the fire was completely out of control and residents were evacuating. It was in the next half hour, between 11:30 and 12:00, that the majority of lives were lost and homes burned as the fire swept down the face of Temescal Canyon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaefer had only a few moments to grab the family pets and a handful of items. She, like so many others, lost her home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11139511\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11139511\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/margaret-schaefer-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Margaret Schaefer holds a news clipping saved from the day after the East Bay Hills Fire.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/margaret-schaefer-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/margaret-schaefer-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/margaret-schaefer-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/margaret-schaefer.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/margaret-schaefer-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/margaret-schaefer-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/margaret-schaefer-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/margaret-schaefer-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/margaret-schaefer-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Margaret Schaefer holds a news clipping saved from the day after the East Bay Hills Fire. \u003ccite>(Danielle Venton/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I actually didn’t think the house was going to burn down,” she says. “I thought, well, it won’t come this far, but we should still evacuate. You don’t believe this sort of thing when it happens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaefer and her husband were able to buy again in the area. Many people rebuilt on their lots. Oakland was generous with permits and encouraged the regrowth. Many houses now in the area are larger than the previous homes, though rules are tighter about building with fire-resistant materials and clearing dried brush around yards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cstrong>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Fanning the Flames\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the dried vegetation in the hills that day certainly contributed to the fire, it was the hot seasonal Diablo winds that literally fanned the flames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fireweather.org/\">Fire Weather Research Laboratory\u003c/a> at San Jose State, fire science graduate student Carrie Bowers has made the Diablo Winds her specialty. Bowers is already a bit of a fire expert, having worked nine years as a wildlands firefighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bowers’ project is studying these unique local winds and how they fueled the East Bay Hills fire. She hopes to develop a way to warn fire authorities when the winds are about to get dangerous. She has discovered that the winds that day in 1991 were not as strong as they could have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The East Bay Hills fire was actually not a severe event as far as Diablo events go,” says Bowers. “It was more a moderate-type event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through computer modeling Bowers is able to pinpoint the movement and effects of those Diablo Winds 25 years ago nearly down to the hour. Between 10 and 11 a.m., she says, there was a huge drop in moisture in the air. That’s when the Diablo Winds, coming down from the Central Valley — warming, drying and accelerating as they came — hit the East Bay Hills, sucking out the moisture of the already parched hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each October, when Diablo Winds whip through dried vegetation, neighborhood residents like Jon Kaufman grow watchful. His house came close to burning in 1991, but escaped with minor smoke damage. Kaufman is part of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.claremontcanyon.org/\">Claremont Canyon Conservancy,\u003c/a> a nonprofit that works to improve fire safety in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">Kaufman took me for a drive through the area that burned, pointing out eucalyptus groves and dry brush undergrowth that make it more likely another serious fire will strike the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11139512\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11139512\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A memorial to fire victims known as the Gateway Emergency Preparedness Exhibit Center \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Memorial-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A memorial to fire victims known as the Gateway Emergency Preparedness Exhibit Center \u003ccite>(Danielle Venton/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We drove along Hiller Drive where, by the side of the road, there’s a memorial.

I was more prepared than most people because I had been through fire before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I first met Pamela at an evacuation shelter at the Finley Community Center in Santa Rosa.

Things were looking up for her. After a few run-ins with the law, she left an abusive relationship and got sober. She went through a rehabilitation program and cleared her record. She was managing some of her health issues; lung disease and chronic pain from an incident in 2000 in which she says someone attacked and robbed her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been in pain ever since,” Pamela tells me. “I had to teach myself how to walk all over.

But then, one September afternoon, \u003ca href=\"http://calfire.ca.gov/fire_protection/downloads/FireReports/Valley/J_Damage%20Assessment%20Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a fire broke out\u003c/a> nearby.

By the time the Valley Fire was contained, almost 2,000 buildings were gone, including her apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had no place to go back to,” she explains. “There just wasn’t anything that I could afford up there at the time, or housing. There wasn’t enough housing for people. And so that’s why I came down to Santa Rosa.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Homeless in Santa Rosa\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pamela spent most of two years in and out of Santa Rosa homeless shelters.

Shelter workers helped her save money and rent an apartment in Santa Rosa. She says she must have put in 30 applications to different places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a long wait, she got a federal Section 8 voucher and found a one-bedroom apartment.

It was an adjustment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to get used to being back in your home again,” she tells me. “It’s like, oh, I can walk around the corner and go to the bathroom. I don’t have to drive to a certain building and go. Or, I can take a shower whenever I want to. I can change my clothes whenever I want to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Waiting for News\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When I talk to Pamela at the shelter, she’s waiting for news about her home. It’s just across the highway from the Fountaingrove neighborhood where the fire consumed hundreds of buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that night, she calls me and tells me that she’s allowed to visit her place during the day as long as she’s out by the sunset curfew. So, the next morning we head over.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Visiting Pamela’s Home\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pamela’s apartment complex is in good shape. Her place is cozy, and filled with knickknacks. There are boxes piled in corners — she says she hadn’t had time to fully unpack yet. We walk around, inspecting her bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has water, but still no electricity. Pamela shows me her jewelry table, which takes up most of one wall of her apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do a lot of crafts,” she says, gesturing to the table. “I make owls out of pinecones. Before the Valley Fire I had picked up a lot of the pinecones before all the trees burnt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fire Victims Face Tough Times Ahead\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Two years after the Valley Fire, Lake County is still trying to rebuild. There was an estimated $1.5 billion in losses. Like Pamela, people left the area for better housing, though \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/6041674-181/a-year-later-valley-fires?gallery=6044366&artslide=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it’s not clear exactly how many\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Santa Rosa will likely face the same problems.

She’s still waiting for the gas to be hooked up again. She’s grateful that her place and all her things are still here. And she empathizes with those who lost everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel for them,” Pamela says, hand to her chest. “When I first went through the fire, it was confusing, devastating, mentally, emotionally and physically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela is one of the lucky ones — this time. But for anybody who struggles to pay the rent, anybody who’s more vulnerable because they don’t have family support or have lost their job, and for the \u003ca href=\"https://sonoma-county-continuum-of-care.wikispaces.com/file/view/ExecutiveSummary_Sonoma.pdf/615371337/ExecutiveSummary_Sonoma.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">almost 3,000 homeless living in Sonoma County\u003c/a>, life will likely be harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These fires have long-lasting ramifications for the people who had homes — but also for the ones who didn’t.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>A federal judge in Maryland has blocked parts of President Trump's most recent attempt to impose broad limits on who can enter the U.S., granting a motion for a preliminary injunction that was filed by plaintiffs led by the International Refugee Assistance Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs \"have established that they are likely to succeed on the merits,\" District Judge Theodore Chuang wrote in the Tuesday order in dealing another setback to the Trump administration's attempt to ban travel to the U.S. by citizens of certain countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his ruling, Chuang wrote that the president's own tweets helped convince him that the latest policy is an \"inextricable re-animation of the twice-enjoined Muslim ban\" that Trump called for on the campaign trail, and is therefore likely to be found unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"wgnoDHWxXqij0Wvjbo06OkodU7bz6qRj\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chuang said the plaintiffs \"are likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of injunctive relief, and that the balance of the equities and the public interest favor an injunction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge's order was filed one day before Trump's ban was set to take effect. It follows a similar order Tuesday from a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/17/federal-judge-in-hawaii-blocks-trumps-third-attempt-at-travel-ban/\">federal judge in Hawaii\u003c/a> in a related case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the third time the administration's proposed travel restrictions have been put on hold by the courts. Both judges say the latest version suffers from the same problems as the first two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4112212-Md-Memo-Opinion.html\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Maryland injunction is the more limited of this week's rulings. It would allow some of the administration's new restrictions to take effect, but only for people who lack \"a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States\" — echoing the language \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/26/533934989/supreme-court-will-hear-cases-on-president-trumps-travel-ban\">used by the Supreme Court\u003c/a> when it partially restored part of an earlier travel ban in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two cases had been on the Supreme Court's calendar for the current term, but the court \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/09/25/553490088/supreme-court-removes-cases-over-trumps-travel-ban-from-calendar\">removed them \"pending further order\"\u003c/a> in September, after Trump issued a revised and expanded ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's ban primarily targeted people from Muslim-majority countries — Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. In an apparent attempt to avoid the \"Muslim ban\" label that was applied to previous restrictions, Trump's proclamation also included citizens of North Korea and some officials of Venezuela's government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MgVGROl91QeSrdS0LpRkJKxh4o1QTlgi\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both Maryland and Hawaii, the judges limited their latest rulings to travelers from the six Muslim-majority countries on the list. North Korea and Venezuela are not affected by these rulings; the restrictions on travel from those countries can go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his memorandum opinion, Chuang noted that then-candidate Trump posted a document called \"Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration\" on his website in December 2015. He also traced other references by Trump, including repeated calls for keeping Muslims out of the U.S. and, once in office, an embrace of the presidential order as a \"travel ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After federal judges blocked the president's earlier executive orders, Trump tweeted that the ban should be larger and tougher. \"This Court is obligated to pay attention to such statements,\" Chuang wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Civil Liberties Union has been arguing the case on behalf of the IRAP. Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, said Wednesday, \"Like the two versions before it, President Trump's latest travel ban is still a Muslim ban at its core. And like the two before it, this one is going down to defeat in the courts. Religious discrimination with window dressing is still unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's latest attempt at a travel ban came in late September, when he issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/09/27/2017-20899/enhancing-vetting-capabilities-and-processes-for-detecting-attempted-entry-into-the-united-states-by\">Presidential Proclamation 9645\u003c/a>, titled Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration argues the travel restrictions are needed to protect national security. Justice Department lawyers say the government conducted an extensive worldwide review of other countries' security and intelligence-sharing practices, and then crafted new, tailored travel restrictions targeting countries that failed to comply with baseline U.S. standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"7C6ygmTQtee8YOC5RM3ct4wJszng5gtL\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most recent iteration of the ban, five of the countries had been named in previous versions; a sixth country, Chad, was added to the list, while Sudan was removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite those changes, the courts found the ban to be tainted by the same problems that tripped up the administration's earlier travel ban orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To the extent that the Government might have provided additional evidence to establish that national security is now the primary purpose for the travel ban, it has not done so,\" Chuang wrote in his ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration justified the new travel restrictions in part by referring to a classified report issued by the Department of Homeland Security, dated Sept. 15, 2017. But, Chuang notes, the administration did not share that report with the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chuang also seems skeptical that the administration has applied its own security findings consistently. For example, Somalia was found to have adequate information-sharing practices, but it's still included in the total ban on immigration. The administration found that Venezuela, meanwhile, has inadequate information-sharing practices — but only government officials are barred from entry to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department is expected to appeal both rulings, meaning this version of the travel ban may also be headed for the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge's order was filed one day before Trump's ban was set to take effect. It follows a similar order Tuesday from a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/17/federal-judge-in-hawaii-blocks-trumps-third-attempt-at-travel-ban/\">federal judge in Hawaii\u003c/a> in a related case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the third time the administration's proposed travel restrictions have been put on hold by the courts. Both judges say the latest version suffers from the same problems as the first two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4112212-Md-Memo-Opinion.html\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Maryland injunction is the more limited of this week's rulings. It would allow some of the administration's new restrictions to take effect, but only for people who lack \"a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States\" — echoing the language \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/26/533934989/supreme-court-will-hear-cases-on-president-trumps-travel-ban\">used by the Supreme Court\u003c/a> when it partially restored part of an earlier travel ban in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two cases had been on the Supreme Court's calendar for the current term, but the court \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/09/25/553490088/supreme-court-removes-cases-over-trumps-travel-ban-from-calendar\">removed them \"pending further order\"\u003c/a> in September, after Trump issued a revised and expanded ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's ban primarily targeted people from Muslim-majority countries — Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. In an apparent attempt to avoid the \"Muslim ban\" label that was applied to previous restrictions, Trump's proclamation also included citizens of North Korea and some officials of Venezuela's government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both Maryland and Hawaii, the judges limited their latest rulings to travelers from the six Muslim-majority countries on the list. North Korea and Venezuela are not affected by these rulings; the restrictions on travel from those countries can go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his memorandum opinion, Chuang noted that then-candidate Trump posted a document called \"Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration\" on his website in December 2015. He also traced other references by Trump, including repeated calls for keeping Muslims out of the U.S. and, once in office, an embrace of the presidential order as a \"travel ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After federal judges blocked the president's earlier executive orders, Trump tweeted that the ban should be larger and tougher. \"This Court is obligated to pay attention to such statements,\" Chuang wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Civil Liberties Union has been arguing the case on behalf of the IRAP. Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, said Wednesday, \"Like the two versions before it, President Trump's latest travel ban is still a Muslim ban at its core. And like the two before it, this one is going down to defeat in the courts. Religious discrimination with window dressing is still unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's latest attempt at a travel ban came in late September, when he issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/09/27/2017-20899/enhancing-vetting-capabilities-and-processes-for-detecting-attempted-entry-into-the-united-states-by\">Presidential Proclamation 9645\u003c/a>, titled Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration argues the travel restrictions are needed to protect national security. Justice Department lawyers say the government conducted an extensive worldwide review of other countries' security and intelligence-sharing practices, and then crafted new, tailored travel restrictions targeting countries that failed to comply with baseline U.S. standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most recent iteration of the ban, five of the countries had been named in previous versions; a sixth country, Chad, was added to the list, while Sudan was removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite those changes, the courts found the ban to be tainted by the same problems that tripped up the administration's earlier travel ban orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To the extent that the Government might have provided additional evidence to establish that national security is now the primary purpose for the travel ban, it has not done so,\" Chuang wrote in his ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration justified the new travel restrictions in part by referring to a classified report issued by the Department of Homeland Security, dated Sept. 15, 2017. But, Chuang notes, the administration did not share that report with the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chuang also seems skeptical that the administration has applied its own security findings consistently. For example, Somalia was found to have adequate information-sharing practices, but it's still included in the total ban on immigration. The administration found that Venezuela, meanwhile, has inadequate information-sharing practices — but only government officials are barred from entry to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department is expected to appeal both rulings, meaning this version of the travel ban may also be headed for the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Napa County authorities identified the driver as 38-year-old Garret Paiz of Missouri.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paiz, who had been delivering water to the fire lines, crashed before dawn in Napa County on a road that climbs from vineyards into the mountains. No other details were available about the accident, which was under investigation, said Mike Wilson, a fire spokesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The smoky skies started to clear in some places, and thousands of people got the all-clear to return home. About 22,000 people were still under evacuation orders Wednesday, down from a high of 100,000 on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is my home.

Many of those names were put on the list after people called from out of state to say they could not reach a friend or relative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities said they will not let people return home until it is safe and utilities are restored. Pacific Gas and Electric Company said it expects to restore power and gas to the area by late Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many evacuees grew increasingly impatient to go home — or at least find out whether their homes were still standing. Others were reluctant to go back or to look for another place to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juan Hernandez, who escaped with his family from his apartment Oct. 9 before it burned down, still had his car packed and ready to go in case the fires flared up again and threatened his sister’s house, where they have been staying in Santa Rosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every day we keep hearing sirens at night, alarms,” Hernandez said. “We’re scared. When you see the fire close to your house, you’re scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Sonoma County Fairgrounds Sunday, evacuees watched the San Francisco 49ers play the Redskins on television, received treatment from a chiropractor and got free haircuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Estrada, who owns a barbershop in neighboring Marin County but grew up in one of the Santa Rosa neighborhoods hit hard by the blazes, brought his combs, clippers and scissors and displayed his barbering license in case anyone doubted his credentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not saving lives,” he said. “I’m just here to make somebody’s day feel better, make them feel normal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lois Krier, 86, said it was hard to sleep on a cot in the shelter with people snoring and dogs barking through the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her husband, William Krier, 89, were eager to get home, but after being evacuated for a second time in a week Saturday, they didn’t want to risk having to leave again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re cautious,” she said. “We want to be safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 11,000 firefighters were still battling 15 fires burning across a 100-mile swath of the state. The blazes have destroyed at least 6,000 homes and other structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who were allowed back into gutted neighborhoods returned to assess the damage and perhaps see if anything was salvageable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jack Daniels recently completed a yearlong remodel of his Napa house near the Silverado Country Club and watched it go up in flames last week as he, his wife, 7-year-old grandson and two pugs backed out of the driveway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His neighbors, Charles Rippey, 100, and his wife, Sara, 98, were the oldest victims identified so far in the wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniels, 74, a wine importer and exporter, said he lost everything left behind, including his wife’s jewelry and 3,000 bottles of wine in his cellar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s heartbreaking,” the 74-year-old said. “This was going to be our last house.

No other details were available about the accident, which was under investigation, said Mike Wilson, a fire spokesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The smoky skies started to clear in some places, and thousands of people got the all-clear to return home. About 22,000 people were still under evacuation orders Wednesday, down from a high of 100,000 on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is my home. I’m going to come back without question,” said Howard Lasker, 56, who returned Sunday with his daughter to their torched house in Santa Rosa. “I have to rebuild. I want to rebuild.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the weather was still hot and dry, the calmer winds and the possibility of rain later in the week should help crews tamp down the deadliest, most destructive cluster of blazes in California history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any sort of moisture is welcome at this point,” said Scott Rowe, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “In terms of fire, the weather outlook is looking to be improving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He predicted a quarter-inch would fall late Thursday in Sonoma and Napa counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11623620\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11623620\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/GettyImages-861028680-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A sign is posted outside Cline Cellars on October 13, 2017 in Sonoma, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign is posted outside Cline Cellars on Oct. 13, 2017, in Sonoma, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Hundreds of people remained unaccounted for, although authorities said many of them are probably safe but have not let anyone know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In hard-hit Sonoma County, Sheriff Rob Giordano said authorities have located 1,560 of the more than 1,700 people once listed as missing. Many of those names were put on the list after people called from out of state to say they could not reach a friend or relative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities said they will not let people return home until it is safe and utilities are restored. Pacific Gas and Electric Company said it expects to restore power and gas to the area by late Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many evacuees grew increasingly impatient to go home — or at least find out whether their homes were still standing. Others were reluctant to go back or to look for another place to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juan Hernandez, who escaped with his family from his apartment Oct. 9 before it burned down, still had his car packed and ready to go in case the fires flared up again and threatened his sister’s house, where they have been staying in Santa Rosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every day we keep hearing sirens at night, alarms,” Hernandez said. “We’re scared. When you see the fire close to your house, you’re scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Sonoma County Fairgrounds Sunday, evacuees watched the San Francisco 49ers play the Redskins on television, received treatment from a chiropractor and got free haircuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Estrada, who owns a barbershop in neighboring Marin County but grew up in one of the Santa Rosa neighborhoods hit hard by the blazes, brought his combs, clippers and scissors and displayed his barbering license in case anyone doubted his credentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not saving lives,” he said. “I’m just here to make somebody’s day feel better, make them feel normal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lois Krier, 86, said it was hard to sleep on a cot in the shelter with people snoring and dogs barking through the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her husband, William Krier, 89, were eager to get home, but after being evacuated for a second time in a week Saturday, they didn’t want to risk having to leave again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re cautious,” she said. “We want to be safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 11,000 firefighters were still battling 15 fires burning across a 100-mile swath of the state. The blazes have destroyed at least 6,000 homes and other structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who were allowed back into gutted neighborhoods returned to assess the damage and perhaps see if anything was salvageable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jack Daniels recently completed a yearlong remodel of his Napa house near the Silverado Country Club and watched it go up in flames last week as he, his wife, 7-year-old grandson and two pugs backed out of the driveway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His neighbors, Charles Rippey, 100, and his wife, Sara, 98, were the oldest victims identified so far in the wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniels, 74, a wine importer and exporter, said he lost everything left behind, including his wife’s jewelry and 3,000 bottles of wine in his cellar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s heartbreaking,” the 74-year-old said. “This was going to be our last house. I guess we’ve got one more move. But we’re fortunate. We got away. Most things can be replaced. The bank didn’t burn down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Melley reported from San Francisco.
