Federal officials filed a new set of immigration and gun charges Friday against Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, the illegal immigrant found not guilty last week in the murder of Kate Steinle.
"A federal grand jury indicted Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate today for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and for being an illegally present alien in possession of a firearm and ammunition," according to a statement released by the Department of Justice.
If convicted of either charge, he could face a maximum of ten years in jail.
The new charges follow a move Friday by the Department of Justice, which unsealed an amended arrest warrant for Zarate, which included violations related to the charges of a felon in possession of a firearm, involuntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon, all of which were filed after the defendant's initial arrest, according to the warrant.
After Zarate's acquittal, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also announced last week that they planned to take Zarate into custody and remove him from the U.S. after the case was completely over.
ICE Deputy Director Tom Homan added, "San Francisco's policy of refusing to honor ICE detainers is a blatant threat to public safety and undermines the rule of law. This tragedy could have been prevented if San Francisco had turned the alien over to ICE, as we requested, instead of releasing him back onto the streets."

Yeah, when pedophilia was a crime and not a Dimocrat ritual at a Pizzagate party.

It amazes me some people actually think that's crazy conspiracy... meanwhile, pedo rings are getting rolled up all the time, ensaring Dems (and RINOs) left and right.

Forty years ago, they'd all be in jail, now they're leaders of the leftist movement, including gop'E RINO.
It's amazing how the Obama WH was always coming in after local verdicts, just to screw with the police and decent folk, and stick up for the criminals.
Now Trump is doing it to screw with the people who hate America, and to help the police / ICE / Border Patrol, etc.
What a great time to be alive.
I remember waaaaaayyyyy back when that certain people (Southern, DEMOCRAT, usually the sheet wearing variety) got away with murder they were charged by the Feds for violation of civil rights......
Damn, they moved quick.
