Good evening Madame Mayor, City Councilmembers, and City Staff,
My name is Catherine Fuentes, and I am a resident of Anaheim in Neighborhood or District, if applicable.
I'm speaking today to respectfully request that the City of Anaheim implement a community alert system to
notify residents when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations are occurring in our area.
Many Anaheim residents live in fear of unexpected enforcement actions, which continues to separate
families, disrupt livelihoods, and erode trust between immigrant communities and local government. A
transparent alert system-similar to how we are notified of emergencies or safety concerns-would allow
residents to make informed decisions and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their
families.
This is not about obstructing federal law; it's about ensuring due process and human dignity. Our
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. Anaheim can and should lead in protecting the safety and well-being of all its residents.
I urge the Council to explore policy options or partnerships that would allow Anaheim to notify residents-via
text, email, or app alert-when credible reports of ICE 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,
Catherine Fuentes
