Findings. <br /> A. In recent weeks, elected officials throughout the country, and especially in <br /> Southern California, have objected to immigration enforcement actions by <br /> the federal administration that many describe as unethical, immoral, and <br /> potentially illegal. <br /> B. While the City Council of the City of Santa Ana does not have the direct <br /> legal authority to force United States Immigration and Customs <br /> Enforcement Agency("ICE") or other federal military or civilian personnel to <br /> leave the City, the City Council calls upon all of its federal elected <br /> representatives in Congress to advocate on behalf of the people of Santa <br /> Ana to such end. <br /> C. The Mayor and City Councilmembers of the City of Santa Ana have listened: <br /> they heard the community's concerns through protests, social media and <br /> hundreds of public comments regarding ICE's presence in the City, and <br /> desire to unite and collectively demonstrate they are willing, able and <br /> prepared to do more to respond to the significant public outcry and assist <br /> within their authority and jurisdiction. <br /> D. The City Council desires to ensure that its members, staff, community <br /> members and advocates all be mindful of their various roles and authority <br /> to act, and that all be committed to ensuring accurate information is <br /> communicated and shared so that the entire community can act quickly to <br /> support individuals and families impacted. <br /> Resolution No. 2025-031 <br /> Page 1 of 6 <br />
