Good evening Madame Mayor, City, Councilmembers, and City Staff, my name is Deysi Godoy, and I am a resident of Anaheim. I'm speaking
today to respectfully request that the City of Anaheim implement a community alert system to notify residents when Immigration and Customs
Enforcements (ICE) operations are occuring in our area.
Many Anaheim residents live in fear of unexpected enforcement actions, which continues to separate families, disrupt livelihoods, and enrode 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 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,
--
