Subject:EXTERNAL - Planned ICE detention center
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.
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 & humanity in general, to oppose any type
of ICE facility in or near the City of Gilroy.
Sincerely,
Joseph O. Morris
