Good evening Madame Mayor, C ity C ouncilmembers and C ity Staff,
My name is J ohn Sinambal and I am a resident of Anaheim in District 3. I ’m speaking today to respectfully request that the City of A naheim
implement a community alert system to notify residents when I mmigration and Customs Enforcement (I C E ) operations are occurring in our area.
Many A naheim residents live in fear of unexpected enforcement actions, which continue to separate families, disrupt livelihoods, and erode trust
between immigrant communities and local government. A transparent alert system – like how we are notified of emergencies or safety concerns –
would allow resident to make informed decisions and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families. T his is not about
obstructing federal law – it’s about ensuring due process and human dignity. O ur community deserves to know when potentially life-altering actions
are happening in their neighborhoods. Cities like Los Angeles and others across the country have begun exploring or implementing similar
approaches. A naheim can and should lead in protecting the safety and well-being of all its residents. I urge the C ouncil to explore policy options or
partnerships that would allow A naheim to notify residents – via text, email, or app alert – when credible reports of I C E activity are confirmed in
our area.
Thank you for your time, and I hope you’ll take this important step to keep Anaheim a place where all families feel safe and informed.
Sincerely,
J ohn Sinambal
