The City of Santa Ana extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation in Minneapolis. Our hearts are with those grieving this tragic and senseless loss of life.

As a city that is proudly immigrant, diverse, and deeply rooted in community, much like Minneapolis, we are concerned by reports of immigration enforcement actions that appear to disregard constitutional protections and target individuals based on race, ethnicity, language or the color of their skin. Practices that foster fear, distrust, and division do not make our communities safer. They do the opposite.

The City of Santa Ana does not condone reckless enforcement practices that endanger lives, violate civil rights, or erode trust and the fundamental principles of dignity and due process. We remain committed to being a safe, welcoming city for everyone, regardless of immigration status.

We want our community to know: Santa Ana respects you, values you, and stands with you. Santa Ana will continue to advocate for the safety, rights, and well-being of all who live in, work in, and visit our city.
