This whole thing is getting bizarre Ramirez is right about the gun smoking. Guns do kill people even if they are found and shot off by some illegal alien. Ramirez should add a least three more arms. The gun was a federal agent’s gun from the Bureau of Land Management stolen out of his truck 4 days back while visiting SF. Apparently, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez re-entered the US 5 times right through border control entries using various aliases. Get this, ICE had him in custody and after holding him for 46 months, decided to send him to San Francisco to face a 20 year old minor drug possession charge fully knowing the case would be dropped because of time and the evidence no longer existing. ”Amid the finger-pointing and furor over San Francisco’s release of Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, who was in the U.S. illegally, before he allegedly shot and killed Kathryn Steinle, one key question has yet to be fully answered — why didn’t the feds deport him when they had the chance? Records show that Lopez-Sanchez had spent 46 months in federal lockup in Victorville (San Bernardino County) for entering the country illegally, then was returned to San Francisco by the federal Bureau of Prisons in March to clear an outstanding felony drug warrant dating from two decades ago. However, federal immigration officials had already managed to deport Lopez-Sanchez five times since that warrant was issued, apparently without ever having sent him to San Francisco to answer to the drug charge. Lopez-Sanchez was arrested in December 1995 for allegedly selling a $20 bag of marijuana to an undercover San Francisco cop at U.N. Plaza. When he failed to make a scheduled court appearance, a $5,000 bench warrant was issued for his arrest. “It’s almost laughable,” said one local law enforcement source tracking the case. “There is no way anyone would have said to bring him here because we want to prosecute a 20-year-old, nickel-and-dime marijuana case.” What’s more, the evidence from his arrest had long since been purged — making the prosecution improbable, said our source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly. D.A. spokesman Alex Bastian said no one with the Bureau of Prisons had given prosecutors a heads-up that Lopez-Sanchez was being sent to San Francisco.” http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Pier-slaying-suspect-s-twisted-road-to-S-F-6371537.php
If I had a dog, that I knew had a tendency to bite, and I didn’t put it on a leash don’t you think I would be responsible when it bit someone again? Regardless if they thought this person would kill, they still knew he was a criminal and they let him go instead of deporting him – they are responsible for his actions as they knew he was likely to break the law again.

So was the deported man on a return trip or was he being deported before he was actually charged?
