Summary
During public comment a resident urged the council to act on recent ICE enforcement in nearby cities and to enforce the city's anti-hate resolution, asserting concerns about racism, anti‑LGBTQ actions and local harassment.
A member of the public urged the Chino Hills City Council to speak out and take action after recent immigration raids and incidents of harassment in nearby communities.
The speaker, identified as Selena, told the council she had come "here tonight because our marginalized community members are under attack," referencing videos of ICE raids in surrounding cities and alleging that families had been traumatized. Selena asked whether the council would remain silent or take steps to protect immigrants and other marginalized groups, including LGBT residents and students she said were being targeted by school board members elsewhere.
Selena referenced a city anti-hate resolution and asked the council what steps it would take to uphold it. She cited actions by other local governments that had publicly declared support for residents regardless of immigration status as models. No council action followed during the meeting; the mayor acknowledged the comment and the council moved on to scheduled agenda items.
