ICE and immigration enforcement

Asked the council to clarify whether Mission Viejo welcomes ICE, criticized alleged enforcement abuses, and urged fact-based information, saying the council's decisions shape the city's legacy.

Read Marcus Aurelius and a Heather Cox Richardson passage, called ICE a threat to public safety, urged making Mission Viejo a sanctuary city, and criticized the council for repeatedly passing over Council Member Vasquez for mayor pro tem.

A 50-year registered Republican asked whether the city welcomes ICE, citing a nearby city's boycott, and warned she'd shift to shopping online if the city is welcoming — pressing for an answer.

Supported funding police but urged the council to follow Minneapolis's example and declare local police won't assist federal immigration enforcement; also asked the city to recognize the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
