Councilman Phil Ortiz said he loved the softer resolution proposed by the other council members, but also said the rule of law was important.

The original resolution proposed weeks ago called for the city to assist with federal immigration efforts while also complying with SB 54. The language in the resolution stated its intent was public safety and keeping violent criminals out of the community.

Several Latino residents spoke against the original resolution and said it would cause anxiety in their community because they feared police might detain them and call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents if they were suspected of being undocumented.

The majority of council members, with only Wells opposing, asked city staff members two weeks ago to return with a reworded resolution to clarify that its intent was only to remove violent criminals from the community.
