The OC May Day Coalition is asking the public and their members to join them at the next Santa Ana Public Safety Committee meeting, on Tuesday, June 18, 2013, at 5:30 pm, as they bring “awareness to the issue of the collaboration between the SAPD and ICE and demand that this collaboration be stopped.”
Their issue is on the agenda, so there will be discussion by the committee members on this topic as well as time for public comments.
The Santa Ana Public Safety Committee includes Santa Ana Councilmembers David Benavides, Michele Martinez and Roman Reyna, as well as the Santa Ana Police Chief (Carlos Rojas), and the OCFA Division Chief, and the Assistant City Attorney.
Martinez admitted a few years ago that she once sold illegal drugs in our city and one of her stepbrothers was arrested for violating parole, when she was running for Mayor against Miguel Pulido, in 2008. Benavides grew up in East Los Angeles, where gangs still run amok and he also lost to Pulido, in 2012. Reyna’s brother purportedly died in prison. None of these Council Members are immigrants. The only immigrants on the Santa Ana City Council currently are Pulido and Councilman Vincent Sarmiento.
Way to avoid the subject Admin.
You have no opinions about the ICE policy. You would make a great city politician. haaa.
Nobody had ripped the Obama administration more than I have, for doubling deportations. And I’ve been opposing the police department’s DUI checkpoints longer than anyone else, as they exist to harass the undocumented.
I am for immigration reform and support indigenous rights. I believe the SAPD should be outsourced to the Sheriff’s Department and our city jail should become another County jail. That would do away with the need to rent cells to ICE to cover the bills.
How’s that Mateo?
the city owes the money on the jail, giving away the jail would not change the cities responsibility on paying back the loan.
Wow, maybe you should form an opinion though. BAHH hahh haa..No wonder you did not get any proper funding for your campaigns.
