Donald Trump said Friday he would prevent violent conduct from illegal immigrants if elected president next year.

 

Trump said in a statement he deplores acts like Wednesday’s fatal shooting of Kathryn Steinle in San Francisco.

 

“This senseless and utterly deplorable act of violence committed by an illegal immigrant is yet another example of why we must secure our border immediately,” he said.

“This is an absolutely disgraceful situation and I am the only one that can fix it,” Trump said. “Nobody else has the guts to even talk about it.”

 

“That won’t happen if I become President,” he said of the shooting.

 

“The American people deserve a wall to protect our jobs, economy and our safety. I am the only candidate who would build it.”

 

Steinle, 32, died after being shot Wednesday night while strolling San Francisco’s Embarcadero with her father, according to NBC’s local affiliate.

 

Francisco Sanchez, the alleged shooter, was released from jail four months ago instead of being transferred into federal immigration officials’ custody, it added.

 

NBC Bay Area said Sanchez was freed April 15 after facing charges for attempted marijuana sales.

 

He is an undocumented immigrant that has previously been deported to Mexico five times.

 

Federal records show Sanchez has seven prior felony convictions, four of which are for drug charges.

 

He has reported convictions in Arizona, Oregon and Texas.

 

NBC Bay Area said Friday that San Francisco is a “sanctuary city” in terms of its immigration policies.

 

That means that it does not investigate an immigrant’s status for the federal government.

 

That practice has no legal definition, NBC Bay Area said, but is a municipal practice by a particular city within its own limits.
