Zuniga, Diana <br /> From: Brenda Gonzalez < <br /> Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2025 4:33 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Mayor Amezcua, Where is the Accountability? <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> Mayor Amezcua, <br /> My name is Brenda Gonzalez, daughter of immigrant latinos who are all your constituents. I watched you in a conference <br /> say that you will not raise your fist for chicanos because you need to think about your city as a whole. Mayor Amezcua, <br /> the majority of your sanctuary city is Latinos?What do you mean you will not stand in solidarity with us?You are <br /> supposed to be a leader yet you can't stand against the cruelty running rampant in our city's streets? Hardworking, <br /> innocent families being torn apart. Instead,you have shamelessly,with your whole chest decided to criminalize them <br /> and those of us who are speaking up for them. You said that there is chaos and destruction on our streets because of the <br /> protests, can you point me to where?And if that is enough of an issue for you to speak falsely on,why have you not <br /> criminalized the officers that are inciting violence on peaceful protesters and damaging hard working businesses with <br /> their excessive use of force? <br /> ICE agents are kidnapping people off our city's streets, masked, unnamed and in unmarked vehicles,will you also refuse <br /> to stand up for those of us who are terrified of people cosplaying as ICE agents and harrassing us? Because that is very <br /> much happening and you are doing nothing about that either. Our police are being militarized against your city,they are <br /> being used to silence good, peaceful citizens who are rightfully angry and exercising their right to protest.This is <br /> UNACCEPTABLE, and you are normalizing this. Did you know that tear gas is banned in warfare yet here we are, local PD <br /> using it on LAWFUL PEACEFUL RESIDENTS. <br /> You are a latina, silencing your own community and refusing to stand up for us.That is not who should be representing <br /> our beautiful city of Santa Ana. We have a first amendment right to assemble and protest. The community is standing <br /> up for our families and you should be standing right there on the frontlines with us, not against us. <br /> Brenda Gonzalez <br /> i <br />
