Jmf 1.10.17 <br />called for certain actions by the City relative to the administration and <br />enforcement of federal immigration law, which is the exclusive authority of the <br />federal government. <br />G. The City now wishes to enact specific procedures consistent with Resolution <br />No. 2016 -086 and the City's commitment to social justice and inclusion. <br />SECTION 2. Purpose and Intent. The City of Santa Ana is one of the most <br />ethnically, racially, and religiously diverse cities in the United States, with immigrants <br />comprising approximately 46 percent of the City's population. The City has long derived <br />its strength and prosperity from its diverse community, including those who identify as <br />Immigrants, and prides itself on their achievements. The cooperation of the City's <br />immigrants is essential to advancing the City's mission, vision, and guiding principles, <br />including community safety, support foryouth and education, economic development, and <br />financial stability. Through the City's commitment to social justice and inclusion, one of <br />the City's most important objectives is to enhance its relationship with all its residents, <br />including immigrants. Due to the City's limited resources, the complexity of federal civil <br />Immigration laws, the need to promote trust and cooperation from the public, including <br />Immigrants, and to attain the City's objectives, the City Council finds that there is a need <br />to clarify the communication and enforcement relationship between the City and the <br />federal government. The purpose of this ordinance is to establish the City's procedures <br />concerning immigration status and enforcement of federal civil immigration laws. <br />SECTION 3.
