President Trump used his weekly address on Saturday to blast so-called “sanctuary cities” that refuse to share information about undocumented immigrants in custody with federal authorities.
In the short video posted to the president’s social media accounts, Trump opened by talking about the “preventable” death of Kate Steinle, a woman shot to death on the San Francisco pier in 2015.
“Help me, Dad. Those were the last words spoken by Kate Steinle as she lay dying on a San Francisco pier – a precious young American woman killed in the prime of her life,” Trump said.
“Last week, in a final injustice, Kate’s killer was acquitted on all of the most serious charges,” Trump said. “Yet one more reason Americans are so upset by sanctuary cities and open border politicians who shield criminal aliens from federal law enforcement and all of the problems involved with the whole concept of a sanctuary city.”
