Flores, Dora <br />From: Sarah Ngo < <br />Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2025 1:42 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Protect your People and Call for ICE out of OC! <br />Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council Members, <br />My name is Sarah Ngo, and I am your constituent living in Santa Ana, CA, zip code 92707. 1 am writing to express my <br />deep concern over Mayor Valerie Amezcua's response to the current, unconstitutional ICE raids that are happening all <br />over Santa Ana. <br />I DEMAND that Mayor Valerie Amezcua and Santa Ana's City Council Members: <br />1. Refuse to cooperate with ICE and declare Santa Ana a sanctuary city. ICE is actively terrorizing our communities, <br />tearing families apart, destroying businesses, and kidnapping people of all kinds of documented statuses. ICE has no <br />place in Santa Ana. The Mayor and City Council MUST protect their people against this racist police institution. This <br />includes stopping SAPID from cooperating with ICE through the sharing of information, resources, and personnel. <br />2. Demilitarize the Santa Ana Police Department. Last week, SAPID fired rubber bullets and deployed tear gas on <br />protesters who were rightfully standing up against the unjust, unconstitutional ICE raids. These violent responses from <br />the SAPID violate our 1st Amendment rights to peaceful, lawful assembly. We the people call on the mayor to defund <br />and demilitarize SAPID at once, instead using the money to invest in critical programs such as housing, education, and <br />public health for the city. <br />We will be watching you, and come next voting season, we will remember if you neglected to stand with your people. <br />PEOEE OVER PRISONS. PEOPLE OVER COPS. PEOPLE OVER ICE. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sarah Ngo <br /> Santa Ana, CA, 92707 <br />
