Last week Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Victor Mendoza-Aguilar, a Pasadena resident, illegal alien from Mexico and suspected gang member who has been terrorizing Pasadena residents for at least 7 years.
This criminal illegal alien is well known to the Pasadena police department.
His criminal history includes a conviction for possessing unlawful paraphernalia in Pasadena, CA with a sentence of 112 days jail, possessing controlled substances in Pasadena, CA with a sentence of 1 6 months in jail, assault with adeadlyweapon: not firearm in Pasadena, CA with a sentence offouryears in prison; obstructing a public officer in Pasadena, CA with a sentence of 364 days in jail L.A. County Sheriff's Department records show Mendoza-Aguilarwas arrested in December 2024 in Pasadena for being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was convicted of that crime on January 22, 2025 after pleading nolo contendere.
On August 28, 2017 the Pasadena Star-News reported:
Pasadena police arrested a suspected gang member and recovered 18 grams of methamphetamine, along with replica handgun, Friday afternoon, officials said.
Victor AguilarMendoza, 21, was booked on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine for sales, according to Pasadena police officials and Los Angeles County booking records.
This criminal illegal alien and suspected gang member from Mexico has been terrorizing Pasadena for at least 7 years.
Do City Councilmembers represent citizens who want dangerous criminals out of our Pasadena neighborhoods or does this City Council put the interests of criminal illegal aliens first? Toxic empathy is easy to recognize. It's when people want to virtue signal by showing empathy for a bad actor with zero consideration for the victims of the bad actor. 1 6/16/2025
Item A
You have already knowingly violated the Brown Act with an illegal serial meeting on this matter and acted to forge approval on a public statement regarding this matter. Before going further in your defense of criminal illegal aliens from Mexico, perhaps you should get your facts straight and have the PPD give a presentation on the criminal career of Mexican illegal alien Victor Mendoza-Aguilar who was arrested by ICE last week over the objections of this City Council. 2 McMillan, Acquanette (Netta)

Dear Mayor Gordo and city council,
I appreciate your words of support for protecting our community from illegal ICE raids without due process.
One action I suggest is to pause all street sweeping-related parking enforcements, so our citizens can stay at home safely and reduce chances of being swept up by ICE agents.
Thanks foryour time and your hard work,
Bin Lee

Mayor and Councilmembers,
First, I want to commend you for the clear and supportive statement you made on "Federal Activity and Community Reassurance." Among other things, it set the tone for the peaceful demonstration on Saturday. I also commend the police for their support of the peaceful demonstration.
The following comments are in response to items #5 and #6 on tonight's consent calendar regarding the leasing of non-enforcement police vehicles and undercover, unmarked police vehicles. Both items refer to the leasing of gas-powered vehicles.
The staff report for item #5 states that "[t}he leasing of vehicles would have no adverse impact on the environment." I disagree.
The staff report for item #6 includes several reasons that these new leases can not be electric cars, including that there are no available protected (for police cars) charging stations. I have attended several city council meetings where this issue has been raised and I thought the council had given direction for creatingthese charging stations ASAP.
1 6/16/2025
Item A
The city council unanimously signed Resolution 9977, statingthat "The City Council hereby declares that climate change is an emergency that threatens the health and welfare of our city, region, state, nation, and the environment. Section 2. The City commits to environmental stewardship and continued leadership in
sustajnability.
Progress is being made to reach the goal stated in Resolution 9977 to source Pasadena's power 100% from carbon free sources by 2030, but that is not sufficient to reduce Pasadena's Gh-IG emissions enough to keep the air quality from being "Unhealthy for All" on too many days per year and the temperature from being dangerously high.
We are so long overdue in addressing all of Pasadena's GHG emissions that we can control in a manner that honors our current situation.
I am asking that the City Council direct the city staff and all departments to consider the effect of all their requests and actions on the climate that we all must live within. And that the City Council NOT authorize any more contracts that we know will not decrease the city's GHG emissions as much as we can given current technology.
Thankyou,
Kathy Berlin
Pasadena resident

Dear city council,
As you know ICE abducted 6 community members today. I call on you again to use your power and leadership to protect our neighbors by
pausing all parking enforcement and street sweeping for the next two weeks so that our neighbors can stay indoors.
Thank you,

Dear Mayor Gordo and city council,
•wrote:
Thank you for your continued attention and action in solidarity with Pasadena. With the intensifying ICE presence and raids our community members are rightfully worried about being in public spaces.
In addition to raising our voices against these abductions, I strongly urge you to pause all parking enforcement and street sweeping for the next two weeks so that our neighbors can stay indoors.
These steps will reduce the burden of fear on our community.
Best regards,
Dan
