Conservative columnist Ann Coulter joined countless others in shocked reaction to the verdict acquitting an illegal immigrant in the death of Kate Steinle.
The New York Times best-selling author declared that Steinle “would still be alive if we had a wall” between the U.S. and Mexico.

The 32-year-old Steinle was shot and killed in the sanctuary city of San Francisco in 2015 by Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, a 45-year-old illegal immigrant who had been deported five times. On Thursday, the seven-time felon was found not guilty by a California jury.

Coulter seemed as disgusted by the verdict as many Americans who vented on social media, and joined in with a series of tweets Thursday.
Jury convinced that illegal alien killed Kate Steinle accidentally. She would still be alive if we had a wall.

Vigilante justice is wrong. Don’t ask me why tonight.

This is new: The San Fran Chronicle headline is, “Mexican man found not guilty in pier killing.” Wow, not “California man.”

Kate Steinle’s killer Jose Ines Garcia Zarate had been deported FIVE times. San Fran sheriff had released him from jail despite a federal immigration detention request.

During wall construction, when builders hit Arizona, they need to take a dog-leg turn & take it up and around California.

Coulter has been an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, even before his nomination as Republican presidential nominee, and has frequently spoken out about the need for a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Trump had used the example of Steinle’s murder many times during his election campaign, further igniting the “sanctuary city” debate and fueling his call to build the border wall.
