mr. steinle i you know you did not want to file this lawsuit what made you do it?ell, as you said, bill, we are not a litigious family. our frustrations over this lack of movement and regarding sanctuary city or the undocumented you will legal felons that are in this city and all over the united states for that matter we are just frustrated to the point where we are just, again, i'm just kind of at a loss for words. it's been a long day. just felt this was the only way we could get the people that's responsible for kate's death. >> and mobilize folks and the support. because sanctuary cities is still the law in san francisco although federal law, of course, overrides state law. now, mr. steinle, you i know you went to washington to testify and your testimony was heard by congress and millions of americans. did any individual politicians contact you? did senator boxer and senator feinstein call you up? did they? >> we have -- the silence is deafening. >> okay. >> we haven't heard from anyone. >> boxer, feinstein didn't call. feinstein wouldn't take my call. governor

mr. steinle. mr. steinle: first of all, on behalf of my family, i'd like to thank the members of this committee for the honor to speak to you about our daughter, kate. all children are special in their own way, and kate was special in the way she connected with people. we called it the kate effect. kate was a beautiful, kind, happy, caring, loving and deep in faith. kate had a special soul, a kind and giving heart, the most contidgeous laugh and the smile that would light up a room. kate loved to travel, spend time with her friends and most of all spend time with her family. in fact the day she was killed we were walking arm in arm on pier 17 in san francisco and enjoying a wonderful day together. suddenly a shot rang out, kate fell and looked to me and said, help me, dad. those are the last words i will ever hear from my daughter. the day kate died she changed her facebook cover photo to a saying that said, whatever's good for your soul do it. that was true -- that truly describes kate's spirit. after

steinle's. for the record, mr. obama did not directly contact the brown family. zona, suing san francisco is a good idea but the steinles are responsible for voting for the liberal politicians. you don't know know what you're talking about. the steinles don't live in san francisco. i cut you slack by not giving your last name but you need to wise i up. florida, i find it ridiculous how the sanctuary cities are designed to protect the illegal aliens but not people like kate steinle. perhaps we can organize a movement that says "innocent lives matter." achbt any from pensacola, three recent killing of police officers, you call it an epidem epidemic. five killings of african american men and you use statistics. 99.9% of all police interactions are peaceful. killing police officers is another matter. the recent rash of that must be reported in the context of civil unrest. my analysis is honest and fact based. mary ann, florida, a lot of floridians tonight. o'reilly i'm impressed that you know what a podcast is. i'm on one every day, mary ann. i also know what pod peop

mr. farenthold: we see this killingd again with the of kate steinle and men who had been deported seven times. there was a story in the news where a convicted burglar from mexico with a history of repeated felony convictions and deportation was caught last week. fifth time he crossed the border and spent the bulk of the past 30 years in various jails. it seems critical that we get the border secured. no point working on immigration before we get that done. mr. harris, can you talk about the priority enforcement program, the p.e.p. have you heard from the sheriffs as well about their concerns if they catch somebody, and illegal alien and do nothing but turn them loose. sanctuary nded cities. we have basically created a sanctuary country, haven't we? mr. harris: as was noted in my testimony, i have been in the border patrol for 31 years and made up the 1.6 million apprehensions a year with 3,000 agents on duty. most of those individuals were from the country of mexico and very easy to deal with those individuals. it was a revolving door type of a situation as mr. judd indicated. but the border
