In July. only a few months after his release. LopezSanchez shot and killed Kate Steinle. In fact. not only did the sheriff fail to notify. the failure was a consequence of a deliberate policy. Just weeks before his office requested the transfer of LopezSanchez. the sheriff adopted a policy forbidding his own deputies from notifying immigration officials. The policy specifically states that sheriff department staff shall not provide release dates or times to immigration authorities. Let me be clear: this isnt State law or even San Francisco law. This is the sheriffs own policy. I believe this policy is wrong. and I have called on the sheriff to change it.
