Jim Steinle, the father of Kate Steinle who was shot and killed on a pier in San Francisco less than a month ago, called on Congress today to pass legislation that would take “undocumented felons off our streets for good.”
“The U.S. has suffered a self-inflicted wound in the murder of our daughter by the hand of a person that should have never been on the streets of this country,” Steinle told Senate Judiciary panel during an oversight hearing on immigration policy.
Steinle’s alleged shooter, Francisco Sanchez, had five previous convictions for re-entry after deportation, according to court records, and seven prior felony convictions.
Sanchez, who has been arrested for the July 1 shooting, had been previously released by the San Francisco sheriff's office in April after he was deemed ineligible by local authorities for extended detention.
