Subject:EXTERNAL - June 1 Agenda Item 7.9 - Support
Dear Mayor Bozzo, Mayor Pro Tempore Hilton, and City Councilmembers Bracco, Cline, Fugazzi,
Marques and Ramirez,
I am writing to you to express my strong support for the proposed resolution to oppose the planned ICE
facility just outside the City of Gilroy. We do not need ICE abusing, terrorizing, and disappearing our
neighbors.
Also, I urge you to agendize a “No staging zone” policy for your next City Council meeting on June 15 to
provide concrete protections for the community by prohibiting the use of city property for civil
immigration enforcement. Simply put, City property should be used for City purposes.
With the threat of 2 proposed ICE facilities in the Bay Area, the surrounding communities need strong
leadership from city and county government officials to both oppose these facilities and establish
concrete protections. Any anti-immigrant agenda that threatens our neighbors, destabilizes our
communities and tears families apart should be opposed. I greatly appreciate your brave local
leadership in taking a public stand, together with all of us who support immigrants, to oppose any type of
ICE facility in or near the City of Gilroy.
Thank you,
Dylan Rivas
