    From the article: "They are fully armed, fully fledged law enforcement officers," Wilson said. "Their jurisdiction is BLM land, but they often respond to other types of crime." Even in Cali LEOs can carry in most places, no? So the question is where was the stop on the way to other official business that caused the agent to decide to leave the gun unsecured in the car. Bathroom? Bar?

    So this sordid drama has;
    - complete failure of immigration control
    - local government flagrantly ignoring federal law
    - weapon used belonged to a Federal Agent
    - politicians trying to pretend that the three factors above are irrelevant


    I really hope the Ranger dotted his/her i's and crossed t's because I think I see a scapegoat coming to distract from the chronic failures of leadership and abdication of responsibility that lead to this loss of life.

    Democrats Scurry From Sanctuary Ship

    By Debra Saunders - July 9, 2015

    Democrats now will say anything to distance themselves from sanctuary city policies, even though they have supported these policies for years. In an exclusive CNN interview Tuesday, Hillary Rodham Clinton was asked about San Francisco's refusal to hand over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement seven-time convicted felon and five-time deportee Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez. He stands accused in the fatal shooting of Kathryn Steinle as she took an evening stroll on Pier 14 last week. (After telling a local TV station he shot Steinle by accident, Lopez-Sanchez has pleaded not guilty to murder.) Clinton answered, "The city made a mistake not to deport someone that the federal government strongly felt should be deported. So I have absolutely no support for a city that ignores the strong evidence that should be acted on."
    Josh Earnest Blames Republicans....................In a 2007 Democratic presidential debate, the late Tim Russert asked Clinton if she would allow sanctuary cities to disobey federal law. "Well, I don't think there is any choice," she answered. Immigrants may not talk to police if "they think you're also going to be enforcing the immigration laws." She did not add a caveat that she wanted local law enforcement to work with immigration officials if the federal government had strong feelings that an individual should be deported.
    In 2008, Clinton voted against an amendment to yank some federal funds from sanctuary cities. California Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer voted likewise -- but it didn't stop them from criticizing San Francisco for releasing a repeat offender.
    "The 2008 budget amendment was a choice between sending a political message or funding California law enforcement, and I chose to fund the police," Feinstein explained in an email. "I continue to believe we can deport criminals who are undocumented and still support law enforcement."
    Perhaps Feinstein and Clinton are living back in 1985, when Feinstein was mayor and signed San Francisco's sanctuary city law. It was supposed to help immigrants seeking asylum from war-torn El Salvador and Guatemala. Four years later, the law was expanded to cover all immigrants. Then, in 2013, the Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance, signed by Mayor Ed Lee, that prohibits city law enforcement from releasing undocumented immigrants to ICE based on a detainer request alone. (There's an exception for recent violent felons, but Lopez-Sanchez did not qualify.)
    Sanctuary City supporters cannot say they were not warned. Recently, ICE Director Sarah Saldana told a House committee that reduced cooperation from state and local governments "may increase the risk that dangerous criminals are returned to the streets, putting the public and our officers at greater risk."
    Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., asked Saldana if it would help if Congress made it mandatory for local governments to cooperate with ICE -- the sort of bill already rejected by Clinton, Feinstein and Boxer. "Thank you. Amen. Yes," Saldana answered.
    Then came blowback from the anti-enforcement community. Saldana released a statement that said such a law would be counterproductive and "lead to more resistance." You have to figure her reversal was on orders from the White House. Asked about Steinle's killing at a press conference this week, White House spokesman Josh Earnest blamed Republicans in Congress for blocking "common-sense immigration reform."
    Where is the common sense in shielding repeat felons and border jumpers from the consequences of their crimes? There is no need to look outside the city: San Francisco screwed up. Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, the Board of Supervisors and the mayor were so busy crowing about their pro-immigrant credentials, and refusing to differentiate between legal and undocumented, that they forgot voters elect them to keep their city safe.

    The bigger question is why do the leftists favor the "rights" of people that wake every day
    and decide to break the law over schlumps like us that try to abide by the law?

    Acquitted. Not looking like we'll be seeing a hanging.
    [FONT=&amp] A jury on Thursday found a Mexican man not guilty of murder in the killing of a woman on a San Francisco pier that touched off a national immigration debate two years ago. Jose Ines Garcia Zarate had been deported five times and was wanted for a sixth deportation when Kate Steinle was fatally shot in the back while walking with her father on the pier.[/FONT]

    Just imagine if he'd have shot that seal he was supposedly aiming at... Libs would never have let him got away with that.
