Why the 2015 murder of Kathryn Steinle still haunts Kamala Harris — and is coming to haunt Dems like Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown
Story by Joe Durbin • 6h •
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Vice President Kamala Harris, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former California attorney general, is facing fresh criticism over her role in sanctuary-city policies before the 2015 murder of 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle — and it’s reminded many that Democrats have repeatedly stopped “Kate’s Law” from passing the Senate.
Congressional Republicans crafted the legislation, also called the Stop Illegal Reentry Act, in response to the murder in San Francisco‚ where Harris was district attorney from 2004 to 2011, by 56-year-old Mexican national Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate.
Garcia-Zarate had seven felony convictions at the time of his final arrest and had been deported from the United States to Mexico six times. Each time he re-entered the country illegally.
The case sparked a firestorm during another presidential race.
