Summary

Councilor Kron used council comments on Feb. 2 to condemn U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, calling the agency's tactics violent and pledging to join protests and vigils to protect vulnerable community members.

During council comments at the Feb. 2 meeting, Councilor Kron criticized U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), describing the agency's actions as violent and inhumane and saying it had "gone rogue" in its approach to communities. Kron said the councilor does not support ICE operations and would participate in protests, rallies and vigils advocating for protection of vulnerable populations.

Kron cited specific local cases mentioned in the speech and framed the remarks as a protection‑of‑community stance: "I don't support any ICE operations. I condemn their tactics, which are brutally violent and inhumane," she said in the meeting record. The remarks were delivered during the council member comment period; no council action, resolution, or policy proposal regarding immigration enforcement was introduced at the Feb. 2 meeting.

The council did not take formal action on immigration policy during this session; the comments were recorded as part of councilor remarks to constituents.
