'Total breakdown': Senator investigates latest murder by illegal immigrant | Washington Examiner
by 8/11/15
A key Republican senator is demanding that the Department of Homeland Security provide details about the immigration status of two men, including one illegal immigrant, who have been charged with the murder of a California woman.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said the murder of Marilyn Pharis on July 24 appears to be another example of how DHS is failing to do enough to ensure illegal alien criminals are removed from the country. Pharis' death came just weeks after another illegal immigrant with a criminal record picked up a gun and fired it, killing Kate Steinle in San Francisco.
In his letter to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, Grassley noted that local officials in Santa Maria, California, are blaming Washington for Pharis' death.
"Clearly, there has been a total breakdown in cooperation between local and federal law enforcement that allowed this alleged killer to be released and, despite his lengthy and violent criminal record, never deported," Grassley wrote. "Police Chief Martin said, 'I am not remiss to say that from Washington, D.C., to Sacramento, there's a blood trail into the bedroom of Marilyn Pharis.'"
