(CNN)The fatal shooting of Kate Steinle on a San Francisco pier last summer -- allegedly at the hands of an undocumented immigrant deported five times from the United States -- became a focal point of an angry national debate over illegal immigration.
On Friday, her family filed a federal lawsuit against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, San Francisco County's former sheriff, the federal Bureau of Land Management and the man who allegedly fired the deadly shot.
"Kate's death was both foreseeable and preventable had the law enforcement agencies, officials and/or officers involved simply followed the laws, regulations and/or procedures which they swore to uphold," the lawsuit said.
On the evening of July 1, 2015, Steinle was walking on a busy pier of the Embarcadero with her father when there was a single popping sound in the air. The 32-year-old medical device sales representative was shot in the chest, a bullet piercing her aorta, according to the lawsuit.
Her father, James, held her in his arms. "Help me Daddy," were her last words to him, the lawsuit said. She died later at a hospital. The man accused of firing the deadly shot -- 45-year-old Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez -- is an undocumented immigrant and a repeat felon who has been deported five times to Mexico, according to the suit.

That we let this garbage anywhere near our country is truly a national disgrace.
This lawsuit is one more reason to keep Hillary out of the White House where she will have the power to appoint federal judges, including Supreme Court Justices.
If you want justice then don’t depend on the justice system.
“Kate’s death was both foreseeable and preventable had the law enforcement agencies, officials and/or officers involved simply followed the laws, regulations and/or procedures which they swore to uphold,” the lawsuit said.
This is fighting fire with fire. It’s the only way to beat these cretins in politics. This needs to happen every time an innocent person is injured by action/inaction of the gov’t, local or federal. Gov’t should be spending so much time defending themselves, they don’t have time or resources for anything else.
Good. Hope they are able to include some individuals in the suit.
An American sweetheart murdered while strolling with her dad on the Embarcadero, Kate Steinle and so many others are victims of a twisted and dangerous politically correct ideology.
RIP Kate, America will not forget you.
amen
there is no justice in San Farncisco
Vigilantes started there and may need to return again
“Undocumented immigrant” - Nice job C.N.N.
“If you want justice then dont depend on the justice system.”
And if you want great health don’t depend entirely on the health care system.

“I hope this is the beginning of a trend. Lord knows Kate Steinles senseless death is no anomaly.”
This is a civil trial, so all they can get out of the deal is a lot of money (which is good). But just as soon as Trump is inaugurated, there needs to be a criminal trial that includes not only Mirikarimi but also all of the members of the SF Board of Supervisors, and the BLM moron who left his weapon in his vehicle in a city that’s number one for vehicular burglaries. The only way this really stops is with these people serving substantial jail terms. They just blow off the monetary penalties, because they always manage to use the taxpayers money to pay for their crimes!
If she had been black, the San Fernasco political buffoons would be falling all over themselves trying to settle with the family for 40 million bucks.
