His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

According to attorneys familiar with the case, Woychowski told investigators he left on a day off and drove up the California coast -- over 600 miles -- before stopping near the Embarcadero in San Francisco for dinner at almost 10 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Woychowski and the group returned to the vehicle, they found it burglarized, with the backpack containing Woychowski's duty weapon and ammunition missing. It had been stashed under the driver's seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gun's path from there to Jose Ines Garcia Zarate's hands -- as he sat in a spinning metal chair on Pier 14 four days later -- is unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Zarate's defense attorneys attempted to introduce evidence in August that Woychowski's vehicle was among several cars burglarized in the area along the Embarcadero south of the Ferry Building the night of June 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woychowski made a report to San Francisco police at 11:14 p.m., according to the defense motion. Another auto burglary, in a parking garage near 300 Embarcadero, just down the street from Pier 14, was reported at 11:34 p.m. The backpack, a .40-caliber ammunition magazine and Woychowski's BLM-issued credit cards were found near the site of the second break-in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that information won't be presented to the jury. To resolve a dispute over its relevance, the prosecution agreed to stipulate that no evidence ties Garcia Zarate to the auto burglaries. It was a small victory for the defense's argument that Garcia Zarate found the gun on the pier just before the shooting, and he didn't know what he was holding until it accidentally fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No Prosecution\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Woychowski faced neither discipline nor criminal charges for failing to secure his weapon -- a misdemeanor under California law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a hearing on Thursday about the scope of Woychowski's testimony, defense attorney Matt Gonzalez said the police department's treatment of the ranger during its homicide investigation would be probed in front of the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The investigation in this case is going to be criticized,\" he said. \"[Police] adhered to an age-old custom of protecting their own.

It was in a backpack, unlocked in the vehicle. That is not a locked compartment. It was a violation of criminal law at the time that it happened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Gonzalez says that wasn't the only crime. Woychowski had a second handgun in the spare tire wheel well in the trunk of his car that Gonzalez says was also unsecured. It wasn't stolen. Woychowski didn't mention it to police investigators, and they didn't ask, Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was worried that he was going to be prosecuted,\" Gonzalez said, referring to notes of an interview SFPD conducted with Woychowski. \"He wanted assurances that he wasn’t going to be, and they gave it to him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law that could have led to charges for Woychowski was since strengthened through legislation authored by state Sen. Jerry Hill that took effect this year. Guns are now required to be locked in a container \u003cem>attached\u003c/em> to the vehicle, so the container can't simply be swiped. Leaving a weapon unsecured in a vehicle also now carries a potential $1,000 penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No Discipline\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Even though he wasn't criminally charged, Woychowski should have faced administrative discipline -- such as a reprimand, suspension or firing, Gonzalez says, for violating BLM law enforcement policies in addition to state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He faced none, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury won't hear about that, though. Prosecuting attorney Diana Garcia successfully moved to exclude any testimony about a lack of consequences for the ranger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The jury is going to be fixated on, 'Oh my God, he wasn’t disciplined,' \" she said in court. \"I don’t want them deliberating about that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the BLM policies around firearm safety and security will come into evidence, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Samuel Feng ruled. The bureau closely guards the rules that govern law enforcement officers, arguing they are exempt from public disclosure. Defense attorneys provided KQED with the BLM policies relevant to their case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624510\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg 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://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-800x558.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-160x112.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-1020x711.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-1180x822.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-960x669.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-240x167.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-375x261.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/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 policies came into the case over the prosecution's objection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The BLM policies are not on trial,\" prosecutor Garcia argued. \"None of the policies or rules ... are applicable to him.

I think that’s easy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BLM again updated its firearms rules after Steinle's death. The bureau now requires two levels of locks on firearms stored in vehicles, and it closed the personal vehicle loophole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An instruction memorandum issued in June last year appears to reference Woychowski's conduct:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>While GO [General Order] 15, 'Firearms' includes policy guidance focused on security, storage and handling requirements for firearms carried within officially assigned vehicles (e.g., government-owned vehicles such as Law Enforcement Rangers and Special Agents), it was determined additional guidance was necessary to address the securing of firearms within personally-owned vehicles, rental vehicles, etc.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The federal government's internal investigation into Woychowski's conduct is not public. But attorneys defending the federal government in a civil lawsuit filed by Kathryn Steinle's family included a description of the internal accountability for Woychowski in a footnote on a Sept. 12, 2016, motion to dismiss filed early in the case. The motion was eventually rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[T]he BLM ranger’s conduct was reviewed, and he was not found to have violated BLM rules or policies in place at the time of the theft were violated (sic),\" the footnote says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Calm Under Pressure'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how long it took the BLM to absolve Woychowski through its review.

The Bureau of Land Management confirmed that Woychowski was a BLM employee in July, when \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/07/07/court-filing-ids-fed-whose-stolen-gun-was-used-in-kate-steinle-killing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KQED reported\u003c/a> that he was identified by a defense subpoena in the Garcia Zarate trial. The agency refused repeated requests to verify Woychowski's employment history -- where he had worked and in what positions -- since joining the BLM. He is listed in publicly available federal purchase records, however, as being based in El Centro from late 2009 to 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was named ranger of the year in El Centro in 2011, according to a BLM newsletter announcement, since removed from the bureau's website (\u003ca href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20120114224541/http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/info/newsbytes/2011/509xtra_ranger_year_ecfo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">archived here\u003c/a>). The post includes a photograph of Woychowski with then-El Centro Chief Ranger Margaret Goodro and Woychowski's then-supervisor, Salvador Nieblas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nieblas had himself risen through the ranks of the BLM and in 2015, he was the chief BLM ranger for all of California, as he is today. Stephanie Clark's email announcing Woychowski's promotion in December 2015 was sent to state-level BLM officials and employees in the El Centro office. Nieblas forwarded the announcement, with a message of his own to larger email lists:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>All,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Please join me in congratulating George Masner and John Woychowski as the 2 new LE supervisors for the busy El Centro Field Office.

According to attorneys familiar with the case, Woychowski told investigators he left on a day off and drove up the California coast -- over 600 miles -- before stopping near the Embarcadero in San Francisco for dinner at almost 10 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Woychowski and the group returned to the vehicle, they found it burglarized, with the backpack containing Woychowski's duty weapon and ammunition missing. It had been stashed under the driver's seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gun's path from there to Jose Ines Garcia Zarate's hands -- as he sat in a spinning metal chair on Pier 14 four days later -- is unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Zarate's defense attorneys attempted to introduce evidence in August that Woychowski's vehicle was among several cars burglarized in the area along the Embarcadero south of the Ferry Building the night of June 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woychowski made a report to San Francisco police at 11:14 p.m., according to the defense motion. Another auto burglary, in a parking garage near 300 Embarcadero, just down the street from Pier 14, was reported at 11:34 p.m. The backpack, a .40-caliber ammunition magazine and Woychowski's BLM-issued credit cards were found near the site of the second break-in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that information won't be presented to the jury. To resolve a dispute over its relevance, the prosecution agreed to stipulate that no evidence ties Garcia Zarate to the auto burglaries. It was a small victory for the defense's argument that Garcia Zarate found the gun on the pier just before the shooting, and he didn't know what he was holding until it accidentally fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No Prosecution\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Woychowski faced neither discipline nor criminal charges for failing to secure his weapon -- a misdemeanor under California law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a hearing on Thursday about the scope of Woychowski's testimony, defense attorney Matt Gonzalez said the police department's treatment of the ranger during its homicide investigation would be probed in front of the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The investigation in this case is going to be criticized,\" he said. \"[Police] adhered to an age-old custom of protecting their own.

It was in a backpack, unlocked in the vehicle. That is not a locked compartment. It was a violation of criminal law at the time that it happened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Gonzalez says that wasn't the only crime. Woychowski had a second handgun in the spare tire wheel well in the trunk of his car that Gonzalez says was also unsecured. It wasn't stolen. Woychowski didn't mention it to police investigators, and they didn't ask, Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was worried that he was going to be prosecuted,\" Gonzalez said, referring to notes of an interview SFPD conducted with Woychowski. \"He wanted assurances that he wasn’t going to be, and they gave it to him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law that could have led to charges for Woychowski was since strengthened through legislation authored by state Sen. Jerry Hill that took effect this year. Guns are now required to be locked in a container \u003cem>attached\u003c/em> to the vehicle, so the container can't simply be swiped. Leaving a weapon unsecured in a vehicle also now carries a potential $1,000 penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No Discipline\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Even though he wasn't criminally charged, Woychowski should have faced administrative discipline -- such as a reprimand, suspension or firing, Gonzalez says, for violating BLM law enforcement policies in addition to state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He faced none, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury won't hear about that, though. Prosecuting attorney Diana Garcia successfully moved to exclude any testimony about a lack of consequences for the ranger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The jury is going to be fixated on, 'Oh my God, he wasn’t disciplined,' \" she said in court. \"I don’t want them deliberating about that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the BLM policies around firearm safety and security will come into evidence, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Samuel Feng ruled. The bureau closely guards the rules that govern law enforcement officers, arguing they are exempt from public disclosure.

The bureau now requires two levels of locks on firearms stored in vehicles, and it closed the personal vehicle loophole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An instruction memorandum issued in June last year appears to reference Woychowski's conduct:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>While GO [General Order] 15, 'Firearms' includes policy guidance focused on security, storage and handling requirements for firearms carried within officially assigned vehicles (e.g., government-owned vehicles such as Law Enforcement Rangers and Special Agents), it was determined additional guidance was necessary to address the securing of firearms within personally-owned vehicles, rental vehicles, etc.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The federal government's internal investigation into Woychowski's conduct is not public. But attorneys defending the federal government in a civil lawsuit filed by Kathryn Steinle's family included a description of the internal accountability for Woychowski in a footnote on a Sept. 12, 2016, motion to dismiss filed early in the case. The motion was eventually rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[T]he BLM ranger’s conduct was reviewed, and he was not found to have violated BLM rules or policies in place at the time of the theft were violated (sic),\" the footnote says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Calm Under Pressure'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how long it took the BLM to absolve Woychowski through its review.

Its recipients include the BLM's top law enforcement official in California, Special Agent in Charge Kynan Barrios, and the BLM's chief ranger in the state, Salvador Nieblas.

The agency refused repeated requests to verify Woychowski's employment history -- where he had worked and in what positions -- since joining the BLM. He is listed in publicly available federal purchase records, however, as being based in El Centro from late 2009 to 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was named ranger of the year in El Centro in 2011, according to a BLM newsletter announcement, since removed from the bureau's website (\u003ca href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20120114224541/http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/info/newsbytes/2011/509xtra_ranger_year_ecfo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">archived here\u003c/a>).

Stephanie Clark's email announcing Woychowski's promotion in December 2015 was sent to state-level BLM officials and employees in the El Centro office. Nieblas forwarded the announcement, with a message of his own to larger email lists:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>All,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Please join me in congratulating George Masner and John Woychowski as the 2 new LE supervisors for the busy El Centro Field Office.

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>.

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.

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.

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.

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>\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.
