No 'Legal Basis' to Hold Illegal Immigrant Suspected in SF Shooting:  The illegal immigrant suspected in the shooting death of a young woman on a San Francisco pier last week has seven felony convictions on his record and had been deported five times previously.  The AP reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a detainer on Francisco Sanchez in March of this year for a drug warrant, but it was not honored because federal detention orders are not a legal basis to hold someone, and he was released in April.  San Francisco is a "sanctuary city" and does not turn over illegal immigrants unless there's an active warrant out for their arrest.  Kathryn Steinle was shot to death while walking along a busy pier with her father Wednesday evening in what authorities believe was a random attack.
