Comments Good evening, Council members. My name is Alyssa Medina, and I am here on behalf of Planned Parenthood Central Coast Action Fund. We stand in solidarity with the residents of Camarillo who are alarmed and afraid as ICE activity moves from the margins of the county into the heart of their
neighborhoods.
We are deeply grateful to Councilmembers Martinez-Bravo and Santangelo, and Mayor Kildee, for signing on to the recent “Stand in Solidarity with Ventura County” statement. We now urge the full Council to continue building on that commitment to protect the health, safety, and dignity of all Camarillo residents.
Right now, unmarked vehicles, unidentifiable agents, and reports of local law enforcement cooperating with ICE are creating real fear. People are afraid to call local law enforcement for help. This undermines public safety, erodes trust, and directly impacts our ability to care for our patients and their families.
We are calling on you to:
Publicly commit to no cooperation with ICE.
Support the legal defense fund proposed by Supervisor Lopez. 1 Urge the Ventura County Sheriff's Office to adopt LAPD’s de- escalation and non-cooperation guidelines.
Host a “Know Your Rights” workshop like the City of Moorpark has recently done.
This is not just about policy, it’s about people. People are being harmed. People are afraid. And people are looking to their local leaders to act.
