When will these sanctuary cities & the politicians finally be held accountable for their policies that endanger Americans? #BoycottSanFrancisco https://t.co/xQcJ1gQDHO

We should #BoycottSanFrancisco but not to punish the city. We should boycott every sanctuary city and state because we cannot be kept safe in those places. We arent allowed to carry firearms for protection and the state wont protect us as proven in the #KateSteinle verdict.

Illegal immigrant Jose Ines Garcia Zarate shot and killed Steinle, 32, on July 1, 2015 when she was walking with her father on Pier 14, a popular waterfront attraction in San Francisco.
“I greatly respect our jury system, but I could not disagree more with this verdict,” Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell of California tweeted Thursday. “I pray for Kate’s family.”

President Donald Trump also shared his disgust with the jury’s conclusions, calling them “a complete travesty of justice.”
The Kate Steinle killer came back and back over the weakly protected Obama border, always committing crimes and being violent, and yet this info was not used in court. His exoneration is a complete travesty of justice. BUILD THE WALL!

The Steinle case sparked a nationwide debate over immigration policies and became a fixture of Trump’s 2016 campaign. Many supporters for greater enforcement against illegal immigration saw the case as a prime example of the dangers of so-called sanctuary cities.
San Francisco is considered a sanctuary cities, meaning local law enforcement does not cooperate with federal immigration officers nor will they enforce federal immigration law.
Steinle’s killer was a convicted felon and five-time deported Mexican citizen.
