Kathryn Steinle’s tragic death began as a local murder but quickly became a national controversy repeatedly invoked on the campaign trail by President Trump.

This crime continues to shape the immigration and sanctuary city debate today.

Much of what has been said on the campaign trail, on the floor of Congress and on cable news shows about the circumstances that led to Steinle’s death isn't true.

Next week, Jose Ines Garcia Zarate will be on trial for murder at the San Francisco Hall of Justice.
