This program has helped make legal representation a reality for <br />immigrants facing possible deportation. The benefactors of the legal defense fund are our Santa Ana <br />residents and taxpayers. <br />My first bill in Congress was to establish a legal defense fund for Refugees and Immigrants. <br />Immigrants facing deportation need access our legal system and I am proud to have a city from my <br />district lead the way in this endeavor. I supported the establishment of this fund, approved last year, and I <br />continue to support its continuation. <br />I respectfully ask you and the City Council to vote to approve the continuation of the funding and <br />keep supporting our robust immigrant community. I commend Santa Ana for leading the way on the <br />rights of immigrants and hope this leadership continues by renewing the Legal Defense Fund for <br />deportation defense. <br />Respectfully, <br />J.
