residents of Santa Ana have written to the Court. ADA Rinauro explains that when there are violent crimes committed, such as murder, carjackings, and /or rapes, the injunction charges are not filed. She touches briefly on the Vasquez lawsuit case against Orange County and explains it was about service. Those named on the Santa Nita injunction were given notice three times. She further explains that gang injunctions are effective, they work, and that the Supreme Court of the United States, the Supreme Court of California and the federal courts have declared them legal. ADA Rinauro explains how individuals are put on the injunction, as well as how someone can try to be removed from it.
