Zuniga, Diana <br /> From: Cynthia Rebolledo < <br /> Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2025 2:03 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Public Comment 6/17/25 <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> Good evening Madame Mayor, City Councilmembers,and City Staff, <br /> My name is Cynthia Rebolledo, and I am a resident of Santa Ana in ward 2. I'm speaking today to respectfully request <br /> that the City of Santa Ana implement a community alert system to notify residents when Immigration and Customs <br /> Enforcement(ICE) operations are occurring in our area. <br /> Many Santa Ana residents live in fear of unexpected enforcement actions, which continues to separate families, disrupt <br /> livelihoods, and erode trust between immigrant communities and local government. A transparent alert system-similar <br /> to how we are notified of emergencies or safety concerns-would allow residents to make informed decisions and take <br /> necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families. <br /> This is not about obstructing federal law; it's about ensuring due process and human dignity. Our community deserves to <br /> know when potentially life-altering actions are happening in their neighborhoods. Cities like Los Angeles and others <br /> across the country have begun exploring or implementing similar approaches. Santa Ana can and should lead in <br /> protecting the safety and well-being of all its residents. <br /> I urge the Council to explore policy options or partnerships that would allow Santa Ana to notify residents-via text, <br /> email, or app alert-when credible reports of ICE activity are confirmed in our area. <br /> Thank you for your time, and I hope you'll take this important step to keep Santa Ana a place where all families feel safe <br /> and informed. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Cynthia Rebolledo <br /> i <br />
