I am a Colombian migrant visual artist,teacher, and small business owner in the city of Santa <br /> Ana with Uplifting Soul Art Events and Galeria of Imagination at MainPlace Mall. <br /> Today I want to share with you my outrage for the continued terrorization of our migrant community in Santa Ana by <br /> masked ICE agents who are refusing to identify themselves or provide us with badge numbers. Also,to voice my <br /> complete disapproval by the mayor and some of the council members to continue to allow our police to support ICE <br /> when we are a Sanctuary city. <br /> This absolutely violates the trust that we put on you as our public servants, and we will not forget during the coming <br /> voting cycle. <br /> It pains me to see my community members being kidnapped in front of their children. My business specializes on arts <br /> education and cultural events and for the last three weeks, I have had seventy percent lost in business due to fear. It's a <br /> disgrace if you think that this is making America better or safer in any way. <br /> I am writing to voice my support for Jesse Lopez proposed items like a relief fund for affected families.,Yes on Bill 805 <br /> and Bill 17, and I hope that you seriously consider this ordinance idea,which will protect and strengthen our people's <br /> lives here and now. <br /> ICE out of OC- No police support! No Mayor support. <br /> Thank you for your time,we depend on you making the right decisions to move forward as one human species and thus <br /> continue to evolve. <br /> The whole world is watching! <br /> i <br />
