Recap: June 17, 2025 City Council Meeting
CITY HALL — After a week of federal immigration enforcement actions in Santa Ana — which sparked mostly peaceful protests across the city — residents are expressing outrage over Mayor Valerie Amezcua’s apparent three-day silence and her eventual decision to side with law enforcement.
Frustrated Santaneros are showing up in large numbers at tonight’s city council meeting to voice their concerns.
The Santanero reached out to City Public Information Officer Paul Eakins to ask how the city is preparing to accommodate hundreds of attendees and speakers, especially with the National Guard still stationed along Santa Ana Boulevard near one of the main entrances. As of publication, Eakins had not responded.
Stay with The Santanero for live updates from tonight’s meeting, which is scheduled to begin at approximately 5:30 PM.
