Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Powered by Anonymousemail <br />Hello, <br /> <br />I'd like to express opposition to the reinforcement of our sanctuary city proposal by councilwoman Lopez. <br /> <br />I'm writing as an undocumented person myself for more than 20 years. <br /> <br />Let's state that the sanctuary city status only means that the police department is not going to work with <br />immigration authorities once they arrest a bad person. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, that forces ICE to look for those people in the barrios instead of jail. Meaning that they may <br />come to my neighborhood for a drug dealer nearby my home, and I may be arrested just for being in the wrong <br />place at the right time. There are plenty of videos in social media where this happens. <br /> <br />On the other side of the coin, non-sanctuary cities do not see ICE on their streets. If the immigration authority is <br />looking for a specific person, they'll find him/her in jail. <br /> <br />Unless I don't understand the role of the advisory group, supporting the proposal will also indicate who you <br />prioritize- those who try to do our best to live in this country following the law as much as possible, or those <br />who come to commit crimes and put the whole good undocumented community in jeopardy. <br /> <br />I would like you to discuss on the floor how the RICO Act can affect those Councilmembers who actively <br />enable undocumented people to commit crimes and released on our streets over and over. Especially if good <br />standing neighbors are deported because of the situation described in the fourth paragraph. <br /> <br /> <br />Thanks <br />A Santa Ana neighbor <br />2 <br /> <br />
