The Justice Department is considering bringing federal charges against Jose Ines Garcia Zarate after his not guilty verdict in the Kate Steinle murder trial, department officials told Fox News on Friday. Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores acknowledged Friday that the DOJ is looking at federal charges. This is a person that never should have been on that pier, and Kate Steinle would still be alive,” she said. The consideration of federal charges comes as President Trump calls the verdict “disgraceful” and uses the case to rally support for a border wall. San Francisco’s decision to protect criminal aliens led to the preventable and heartbreaking death of Kate Steinle,” he said.
