continuing coverage on what many will calling a shocking verdict. this morning, more reaction after jurors came back with a not guilty verdict in the kate steinle case. president trump tweeted, the kate steinle killer came back and back over the weakly protected obama border. this info was not used in court. his exoneration is a tragedy of justice. >> "today in the bay's" pete suratos is live at pier 14 where steinle was killed. this verdict, very controversial, like the case itself. what's next? >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus and laura. a very controversial verdict. not guilty was handed down in the verdict. we are standing down at pier 14 where steinle was killed in 2014. we'll show you this vigil set up by those who were not happy with the verdict.

we see where the picture of kate steinle says rest in peace. that's in reference to president trump's proposed plan to build a border wall in response to these issues. when you cut to zarate's immigrant status, san francisco's so-called sanctuary city policy, it has created a debate over whether it could have been prevented. i want to reed a statement about the issue. san francisco's policy of refusing to honor i.c.e. detainers is a threat to public safety. the tragedy could have been prevented if san francisco turned it over to i.c.e. as we requested instead of releasing him to the streets. it is unconscionable they do that. following the conclusion of this case, i.c.e. will work to take custody and remove him from the

country. we did speak with a legal expert about this to get a better idea of what will happen next for zarate. >> right now, technically, he is being held in jail in violation of his own civil rights. he served more than his maximum sentence on the charge which he stands convicted. there is recourse for the steinle family and the attorney general and the president who think this is an injustice. that is a civil rights prosecution in federal court. if the trump administration thinks that an injustice was done here, simply put its money where its mouth is. call the u.s. attorney for the northern district of california and say we want you to look into prosecuting mr. ga see ya zarate. >> the candles set up here at pier 14. a vigil set up after the verdict was sent down, a not guilty

verdict. we are at pier 14 where steinle was killed in july, 2014. it's a very emotional time for the family. they were not at court when the verdict was reached. however, they did speak to the media. we'll get their reaction in the next hour. pete suratos, "today in the bay." >> they must be going through a lot. thank you very much, pete. our coverage of the verdict continues on air and online this morning. we'll break down the political response it is creating in washington in the next half hour. tomorrow marks one year since the ghost ship fire in oakland. ift was the deadliest fire in oakland's history. 36 people were killed when flames tore through the building. it started around 11:20 in the building that was converted. master tenant derek and mar ris have been charged with involuntary manslaughter. the search continues for
