<br /> Resolution Supporting Senate Bills 627 and 805, and H.R. 4176 – the No Secret Police <br />Act <br />July 15, 2025 <br />Page 2 <br />environmental, or tactical safety reasons. It also requires visible identification and <br />agency markings on uniforms. <br />Senate Bill 805, authored by Senator Aisha Wahab Pérez, would require officers to <br />clearly display their name or badge number while on duty and prevent individuals from <br />impersonating law enforcement, addressing growing incidents of abuse and fear in <br />immigrant communities. <br />At the federal level, H.R. 4176 the No Secret Police Act, introduced by <br />– <br />Congressman Lou Correa and other members of Congress, would prohibit federal <br />officers, particularly from the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and <br />Customs Enforcement (ICE), from conducting public operations while masked or lacking <br />agency identification. The bill was introduced following community outcry over masked <br />ICE agents operating without accountability in cities like Santa Ana. <br />These three legislative measures respond to urgent calls for transparency, <br />accountability, and the protection of constitutional rights. They align with the City of <br /> Santa Ana’s values of inclusivity, public safety, and civil liberties. The City Council’s <br />support for these bills affirms its commitment to a community where residents can feel <br />safe and secure in public spaces, free from intimidation or surveillance by unidentified <br />officers. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.Resolution No. 2025-XXX Supporting Senate Bill 627, Senate Bill 805, and <br /> House Resolution 4176 – the No Secret Police Act <br />Submitted By: Sylvia Vazquez, Deputy City Manager <br />Approved By: Alvaro Nuñez, City Manager <br /> <br />
