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 />The first bill I introduced in Congress was to establish a legal defense fund for Refugees and <br />Immigrants. Immigrants facing deportation need access our legal system and I am proud to have a city <br />from my district lead the way in this endeavor. I supported the establishment of this fund, approved last <br />year, and I continue to support its continuation. <br />I respectfully ask you and the City Council to vote to approve the continuation of the funding at <br />the current funding of $200,000 and keep supporting our robust immigrant community. I commend <br />Santa Ana for leading the way on the rights of immigrants and hope this leadership continues by renewing <br />the Legal Defense Fund for deportation defense. <br />Respectful , <br />J.
