[Reality_And_Drama_TV_Shows] Parents of woman gunned down by illegal-immigrant felon sue San Francisco, customs officials over deathVERDICT REACHED!!!
The parents of a woman killed on a busy San Francisco pier last year have sued city and immigration officials, blaming them for the summer shooting because the gunman was in the country illegally.
Kate Steinle's parents filed the wrongful death lawsuit Friday, ahead of the one-year anniversary of her July 1 shooting death.
Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez — who was living in the U.S. illegally after serving jail time for a marijuana sales charge — picked up a Bureau of Land Management ranger's gun and fired it, killing Steinle, 32.
Steinle's heartbroken parents said a lack of communication between the city Sheriff's Department and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement contributed to their beloved daughter's death.

San Francisco law enforcement failed to tell federal immigration officials that it was releasing Lopez-Sanchez from jail.
The city sheriff should have notified the federal agency of Lopez-Sanchez's release, according to the lawsuit, which blames ICE for failing to detain or deport the immigrant. The suit also seeks to hold the Bureau of Land Management responsible for inadvertently furnishing the murder weapon.
The BLM agent reported that a gun was stolen from his car while it was parked in downtown San Francisco last June. Two weeks later, Lopez-Sanchez used the weapon to shoot and kill Steinle on San Francisco's Pier 14, police said.

Steinle's shooting death in July thrust San Francisco into the forefront of national debate over immigration.
Lopez-Sanchez was transferred to the city jail to face a drug-dealing charge after he completed a nearly four-year federal prison sentence, for illegal re-entry into the country, in March. The district attorney dropped charges and the sheriff's department released Lopez-Sanchez, ignoring an ICE request to keep him behind bars.
San Francisco's so-called "sanctuary policy," which was tweaked and reaffirmed last week, bars city employees from cooperating with federal immigration officials in deportation efforts. The law dates to 1989.

The sheriff at the time cited that law in defending the release of Lopez-Sanchez, a repeat drug offender and habitual border crosser.
Steinle's parents allege the sheriff had an obligation to alert immigration officials that Lopez-Sanchez was being released, despite the city's sanctuary policy. The lawsuit also alleges that ICE knew Lopez-Sanchez was in the San Francisco jail — and agents should have taken him into their custody regardless of the sheriff's actions.
