Looking for justice? Move to Mexico. When it comes to looking to the U.S. courts for protection, you may have a better chance if you’re from south of the border.
Kathryn "Kate" Steinle was shot dead on July 1, allegedly by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, a Mexican felon who was in the U.S. illegally. Lopez-Sanchez would have been deported but for the fact that San Francisco is a "sanctuary city," which is why officials there chose to release him and ignore an ICE detainer. This effectively put him back on the street. And yet, if Steinle's family tries to sue the city for this travesty, it may be thrown out of court.

Welcome to Acirema, where the guilty are rewarded and the innocent are punished. The half breed flaunts any and all laws and court rulings count for nothing. CO flaunts federal marijuana laws without consequences. SF and other sanctuary cities flaunt immigration law without consequences. What laws can I break without consequences?
BTW, any lawyer who would argue “It is commonly known that we have been a ‘sanctuary city’ for years. If this was a problem for the victim, she should have lived somewhere else.” deserves to be disbarred and committed to an institution for the criminally insane.
Because it’s run by John Kerry and the Dems
Could you post the constitutional authority which gives the feds the power to outlaw drugs or better why CO law doesn’t supersede the feds under the 10th amendment?
...but will probably get voted into office.
The court’s primary duty, lately, has been to protect the government from the people.
They can sue, of course, but who knows if they’ll prevail.
Doesn't the idea of mitigation of damages imply reasonable mitigation actions? Mitigation of damages doesn't require extraordinary mitigation efforts. If I were an attorney, I would be willing to let a jury decide if moving away from the city is a reasonable mitigation expectation. Assuming you can find 12 reasonable people in SF (a big assumption), I guessing the jury would say no.
Smart move.
Better still can the city counsel members who voted in the sanctuary policy and the mayor who signed off on it be charged with murder too. They are most definitely compliant in this crime. And don’t leave out the DA.s and police chiefs either.
“Donald Trump should’ve visited the family to offer condolences which would have assured him additional millions of voters.
Not very smart of him to ignore this opportunity.”
For peet’s sake, this family just buried their daughter! It would have been a huge mistake for Trump to make a public visit at this time. I hope he’s offered condolences privately, everything shouldn’t be political!
There is a Supreme Court case ruling that says the police are not obligated to protect you. They are only there to enforce the law. If they caught the guy, then they “enforced” it in their eyes.
I believe that some states have laws that cities cannot be ‘sued’. I seem to remember some case in Atlanta about suing the city for wrongful acts.
Perhaps Trump did not want to exploit their grief for his political
gain, as Democrats do. That is admirable.

How do you know he didn’t? Oh, because he didn’t do an Al NotSoSharptonFarrakan dog and pony show? Trump’s regretting not asking for your valuable advice, I’m sure.
I agree - though he would immediately be accused of pandering and politicizing it. Of course Obama never did that.
Trump did leave a message on my voicemail
