Santa Ana City Council, Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council, I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of force by these agencies most recently on October 19—which resulted in the detention of Santa Ana residents on our own streets—makes this support both urgent and essential. Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during this difficult time. We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74 million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We also recommend prioritizing households with lower income—especially those earning under $60,000 annually—to ensure equitable distribution of funds. Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of expanding and funding this critical program. i Edith Garcia z Becerra, Alexis From: Nancy Guillen <noreply@adv.actionnetwork.org> Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2025 8:23 AM To: eComment Subject: Fund Ayuda Sin Fronteras: Stand With Immigrant Families Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.Use caution when opening attachments or links.

Santa Ana City Council, Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council, I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with a minimum of$500,000 designated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. It is crucial for the City of Santa Ana to enhance financial relief for residents affected by recent actions taken by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The recent show of force by these agencies on October 19, which led to the detention of Santa Ana residents in our community, emphasizes the urgency and necessity of this support. Since its launch in July 2023, the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program has served as a lifeline for families struggling to pay rent, utilities, and grocery bills. With assistance already provided to 101 households and 198 individuals, and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid is both urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support for residents throughout the remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during this challenging time.

Santa Ana City Council, Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council, I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of force by these agencies most recently on October 19—which resulted in the detention of Santa Ana residents on our own streets—makes this support both urgent and essential. Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during this difficult time. We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74 million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We also recommend prioritizing households with lower income—especially those earning under $60,000 annually—to ensure equitable distribution of funds. Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of expanding and funding this critical program. i Molly Salazar z From: Jackie Anael Investor To: Vazauez.

You called for the final piece in that matter. We have investigated and completed that audit. And in regards to the outcome of this, -We shut down the federal government on 9/30/25 due to pedofiles infiltrated all ranks of our society and terrorist "ICE" agents violently kidnapping and disappearing our People. -In October 2024, the Elders of Orange County stood up and charged County of Orange with child abuse. -Our supervisor is in prison. -Last week, our Community charged SAPD with murder. Final Audit, 2 Action Items - 1. Shut out scam nonprofits, greedy developers and fake news channels. Do not give them another cent, do not give them one more opportunity to make a dime off our backs. 2. Boycott Huntington Beach City Council They knew from the very beginning They held on to these false beliefs Even after they all knew it was an illusion They had no integrity The illusions bought them prosperity They made money off of our suffering, our pain. All the lies are out in the open for everyone to see the captivity they put us through Lies, manipulation, spellwork, witchcraft, secret combinations, their abominations towards us They kill our children and profit off of them, all the while laughing in our faces. There was no misunderstandings, ever.

They knew everything was lies. -End SAPD control of candidates with our money and end their nonprofit scam political contributions to candidates -Shut out Patricia Wenskunas and her scam PAC and nonprofit "Crime Survivors" "Crime Survivors PAC", a criminal front, orchestrated by Todd Spitzer and the criminal Andrew Do. -Shut out the child abusers Gracey Van Der Mark and her scam all-racist Huntington Beach city council. -Shut out Ryan Ogulnick, an Orange County developer, facing a $87,000 fine from the Fair Political Practices Commission, for political money laundering scheme in Santa Ana. -Shut out that known racist DA Todd Spitzer! He is an abomination to our People! #SpitOutSpitzer They never wanted us to have justice, or peace, or the abundance and blessings that are so rightfully ours, in a decent human way. This is the truth of the matter. The truth is nobody stood up for me Nobody had integrity Everybody grabbed a stone and threw it at me They want to see you dead when you know the truth.

I'm wondering if the residents of Santa Ana are allowed to burn people and what authority they have over the rest of the world as I DONT live near Santa Ana but in Santa Monica where they consider this burning a violation and distraction. I'm willing to connect governments buy a resident family and teacher at the school board has been taking part in a burning for the last thirteen years, opting to make my school want to pull me out and put me in foster care and causing a disturbance. My family the Leskowitz (previously Shoemaker)who live near an In n Out burger in Santa Ana have been taking part in what they think is a "righteous burning" hoping I get raped and beaten and pushing for me to end up a homeless child since middle school for not standing up for Annette Suzanne Leskowitz brother Lance Shoemaker and saying I'm glad I'm being abused. My mom got a restraining order but they've been saying I'm wrong in god and they are right and I've been hearing them speak about me call me a bitch and tell schools not to educate me as they want me dead so their family can die on a cross. It's disrupting my life and I can tell they are visibly presenting this knowledge.
