Santa Ana City Council,
Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council,
I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras
Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a
compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of
expanding and funding this critical program.

Santa Ana City Council,
Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council,
I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras
Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a
compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of
expanding and funding this critical program.

million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a
compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of

Santa Ana City Council,
Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council,
I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras
Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We

and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a
compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of
expanding and funding this critical program.

Santa Ana City Council,
Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council,
I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras
Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.

Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a
compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of
expanding and funding this critical program.

Santa Ana City Council,

I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras

Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council,
I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras
Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a
compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of
expanding and funding this critical program.

Santa Ana City Council,
Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council,
I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras
Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a

RE: Item 17 — Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program — Tenant Assistance Update
Mayor Amezcua and Members of the Santa Ana City Council,
On behalf of Chispa, we urge the City Council (Council) to continue the Ayuda sin Fronteras Program
(Program) with an additional allocation of $500,000 to $900,000—with at least $500,000—being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana (City) expand financial
support and relief for residents impacted by recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S.
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
immigration raids and actions. The show of force by these agencies on Sunday, October 19 as they
kidnapped Santa Ana residents of our City streets is only the beginning, the need for your support to
expand the Program is urgent and dire as we expect the attack on Santa Ana's immigrant community to
increase in the coming days and months.
Since its launch in July 2025, the Program has proven to be a lifeline for City families impacted by the
immigration raids who are struggling to pay for housing, utilities, or afford basic necessities such as
groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted, the need for expanded emergency
aid remains urgent and growing. At the time of its approval the Council expressed uncertainty over the
level of community need or willingness to apply, there should be no uncertainty now. The Program's
funds were exhausted in about 3 months, with many households being unable to apply because there were
no additional Program resources and others still awaiting a status update on their applications. Program
awareness has increased since July and the need has only grown, we can say with certainty that any
additional funding will be quickly spent down by the Program and any uncertainty this Council had on
this Program has been addressed.
We urge the Council to increase funding for the Program by at least $500,000 to ensure continued support
through the rest of the fiscal year. We encourage the Council to return to their original $1 million proposal
by identifying funds from the City's $74 million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by
members of the Council. Expanding the fund would reflect the true scale of community need and reaffirm
the City's commitment to standing by immigrant families during this difficult time.
This Program builds upon existing infrastructure that delivers aid quickly and effectively to those most in
need. Additional funding would enable the Program to reach more households at a time when 10E's $75
billion budget and intensified enforcement activity are expected to create unprecedented demand for local
assistance.
We also recommend that the Council update the Program criteria to prioritize households with the greatest
financial need, ensuring greater equity in the distribution of funds. This includes clarifying eligibility
thresholds so that the Program primarily supports households with lower incomes such as those that
would be considered acutely low-income, extremely low-income, or very low -income —those earning less
than $60,000 annually —who are highest at risk of housing instability and economic insecurity following
immigration enforcement actions that disrupt households. Strengthening the Program is a tangible step
toward building a more compassionate and responsive city —one that puts the needs of its residents first.
For these reasons, we strongly urge the Council to direct staff to expand and fund the critical Ayuda
Sin Fronteras Program, ensuring our communities continue to receive the emergency support they
urgently need.
Sincerely,
Bulmaro Vicente
Policy and Political Director

Santa Ana City Council,
Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council,
I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras
Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a

allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a
compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of
expanding and funding this critical program.

Santa Ana City Council,
Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council,
I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras
Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a
compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of
expanding and funding this critical program.

Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a
compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of
expanding and funding this critical program.

pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a
compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of
expanding and funding this critical program.

Santa Ana City Council,
Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council,
I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras
Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.

also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under

Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links.
Santa Ana City Council,
Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council,
I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras
Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74

Santa Ana City Council,
Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council,
I am writing to urge the City Council to continue and expand the Ayuda Sin Fronteras
Program by allocating an additional $500,000 to $900,000, with at least $500,000 being
allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana expand financial relief for residents impacted by
recent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actions. The show of
force by these agencies most recently on October 19 — which resulted in the detention of
Santa Ana residents on our own streets — makes this support both urgent and essential.
Since its launch in July 2025, the program has proven to be a lifeline for families struggling to
pay rent, utilities, and groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted
and funds exhausted after just three months, the need for expanded emergency aid remains
urgent and growing. Additional funding would ensure continued support through the
remainder of the fiscal year and reaffirm the City's commitment to immigrant families during
this difficult time.
We urge the Council to revisit the original $1 million proposal, using funds from the $74
million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by members of the Council. We
also recommend prioritizing households with lower income— especially those earning under
$60,000 annually — to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
Strengthening the Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program is a tangible step toward building a
compassionate, responsive city that puts people first. I strongly urge you to vote in favor of
expanding and funding this critical program.

RE: Item 17 — Ayuda Sin Fronteras Program — Tenant Assistance Update
Mayor Amezcua and Members of the Santa Ana City Council,
On behalf of the Orange County Rapid Response Network, we urge the City Council (Council) to continue
the Ayuda sin Fronteras Program (Program) with an additional allocation of $500,000 to $900,000—with
at least $500,000—being allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. It is imperative that the City of Santa Ana
(City) expand financial support and relief for residents impacted by recent U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) immigration raids and actions. The show of force by these agencies on Sunday, October 19
as they kidnapped Santa Ana 16 residents, as confirmed by the Mexican Consulate, off our City streets is
only the beginning, the need for your support to expand the Program is urgent and dire as we expect the
attack on Santa Ana's immigrant community to increase in the coming days and months.
Since its launch in July 2025, the Program has proven to be a lifeline for City families impacted by the
immigration raids who are struggling to pay for housing, utilities, or afford basic necessities such as
groceries. With 101 households and 198 individuals already assisted, the need for expanded emergency aid
remains urgent and growing. At the time of its approval the Council expressed uncertainty over the level of
community need or willingness to apply, there should be no uncertainty now. The Program's funds were
exhausted in about 3 months, with many households being unable to apply because there were no
additional Program resources and others still awaiting a status update on their applications. Program
awareness has increased since July and the need has only grown, we can say with certainty that any
additional funding will be quickly spent down by the Program and any uncertainty this Council had on this
Program has been addressed.
We urge the Council to increase funding for the Program by at least $500,000 to ensure continued support
through the rest of the fiscal year. We encourage the Council to return to their original $1 million proposal
by identifying funds from the City's $74 million reserve fund, as previously recommended on the dais by
members of the Council. Expanding the fund would reflect the true scale of community need and reaffirm
the City's commitment to standing by immigrant families during this difficult time.
This Program builds upon existing infrastructure that delivers aid quickly and effectively to those most in
need. Additional funding would enable the Program to reach more households at a time when ICE's $75
billion budget and intensified enforcement activity are expected to create unprecedented demand for local
assistance.
We also recommend that the Council update the Program criteria to prioritize households with the greatest
financial need, ensuring greater equity in the distribution of funds. This includes clarifying eligibility
thresholds so that the Program primarily supports households with lower incomes such as those that would
be considered acutely low-income, extremely low-income, or very low -income —those earning less than
$60,000 annually —who are highest at risk of housing instability and economic insecurity following
immigration enforcement actions that disrupt households. Strengthening the Program is a tangible step
toward building a more compassionate and responsive city —one that puts the needs of its residents first.
For these reasons, we strongly urge the Council to direct staff to expand and fund the critical Ayuda Sin
Fronteras Program, ensuring our communities continue to receive the emergency support they urgently
need.
Sincerely,
Sandra De Anda
Director of Policy and Legal Strategy
