Zuniga, Diana <br /> From: Carlo Espiritu < <br /> Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2025 3:27 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Public Comment for Mayor Amezcua at City Council Meeting 6/17 <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> Mayor Amezcua, <br /> What's unfolding in Santa Ana is deeply disturbing.The sight of ICE agents, military vehicles, and an aggressive police <br /> presence in response to peaceful protestors is not just excessive—it's terrifying. Our neighborhoods are gripped by fear. <br /> Families are on edge. And now,the heart of our city—Downtown—is suffering. <br /> Shops sit empty. Restaurants are barely holding on. The vibrant,welcoming spirit that once defined our community is <br /> slipping away.And this is happening under your leadership. <br /> True leadership means standing with your people, especially in moments of crisis. Right now, it feels like you've <br /> abandoned us. We need courage. We need compassion. We need someone who will fight for the soul of this city—not <br /> someone who turns away when it matters most. <br /> If you are not willing to lead with the strength and empathy this moment demands,then I urge you—step aside. Let <br /> someone rise who will. <br /> Our city is watching. And we will not be silent. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Carlo Espiritu <br /> Longtime Santa Ana resident <br /> 1 <br />
