' VICENTE SARMIENTO <br /> -� ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS <br /> SUPERVISOR, SECOND DISTRICT <br /> COUNTY ADMINISTRATION NORTH BUILDING <br /> 400 W.CIVIC CENTER DRIVE.SANTA ANA,CALIFORNIA 92701 <br /> PHONE(714)834-3220 <br /> May 5"', 2025 <br /> Santa Ana City Council <br /> 20 Civic Center Plaza <br /> Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> RE: Support for Item 26-Transparency and Public Notification of ICE/DHS Courtesy Alerts to <br /> Santa Ana Police Department <br /> Dear Mayor Amezcua and Honorable City Council, <br /> As the Second District Supervisor for the County of Orange, I am pleased to express my support <br /> Councilmember Hernandez's and Mayor Pro Tem Vazquez's Council directed item to"Implement a Policy <br /> Requiring Immediate Disclosure of All ICE Courtesy Notifications Received by the Santa Ana Police <br /> Department." <br /> Enhancing transparency will help to ensure that local undocumented residents and their families can trust <br /> their local government, particularly during this period of increased federal immigration enforcement. This <br /> policy of transparency aligns with existing data sharing practices from the Santa Ana Police Department <br /> and if structured properly,will not directly interfere with the actions of any federal agency. By updating the <br /> City's approach to sharing this information,we empower Santa Aan residents with the knowledge they need <br /> to make informed decisions about how to prepare for the possibility of local immigration actions. <br /> For these reasons I am supportive of this item. Should you have any questions please reach out to my office <br /> at 714-834-3220 or vicente.sarmientokoc og v.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Vicente Sarmiento <br /> Supervisor, Second District <br />
