Councilwoman Lopez’s statement on today’s Supreme Court decision allowing ICE to resume discriminatory raids that terrorize families and neighbors under the false guise of public safety
September 9, 2025 at 12:46 AM
Santa Ana families are in danger. ICE is targeting our community — at work, in the streets, in our parks.

Our loved ones are being taken. This is unforgivable violence.

We need to protect each other.

Our communities have the right to be safe — not targeted. When a president punishes cities because of their party affiliation, that’s not law and order, that’s political retaliation. We will not be silenced, and we will not back down.

Happy Father’s Day, Pa.
Happy Birthday, Ma.

On any other day, I wouldn’t think twice about my dad heading to the swap meet.

We want ICE out of our CITY NOW. WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THEY’RE GONE.

I was proud to stand alongside my constituents—peacefully, lawfully, and unapologetically—exercising my First Amendment right to protest a growing militarized presence in our city.

I showed up to make sure people were safe… 1/1🧵

Great TikTok by Santa Ana city council member @votejessielopez.bsky.social about what you can do to get involved and be safe. “This really is the fight of our lives if we are going to allow this dictatorship to prevail or not” www.tiktok.com/@votejessiel...
Stay safe Santa Ana!! Please contact our office if you need anything.

ICE is tearing families apart. No due process. No justice. Just fear.

📢 Know your rights. Protect each other. Show up.

I stand in solidarity w/SEIU & demand the immediate release of President David Huerta, who was detained and injured while serving as a peaceful community observer. His courage reflects the very best of our movement.

We will not allow this administration’s cruelty to go unchecked.
Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

Our city should be protecting immigrant and refugee communities, not quietly working with agencies that cause harm.

We owe our immigrant communities more than lies, silence, and indifference.

We owe them action.

I still remember my first May Day.

I had skipped school to join the march, and my mom—who raised me to value education above all—was out looking for me near the Civic Center.

If you know my mom, you know she wasn’t happy.

I was elected to protect all families — not betray them. Santa Ana’s sanctuary policies reflect who we are: a community rooted in dignity and justice. Trump’s EO is extortion. I won’t turn my back on the people who raised me — I’ll fight for a future where every family feels safe and seen.
Trump’s executive order targeting ‘sanctuary’ laws called ‘extortion,’ xenophobic

United in LA with CA WorkingFamilies Party @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov and the house of labor — because economic justice is racial justice.

We won’t let them divide us. We’re here to fight, build, and win.

What was once a pile of dirt is now La Colmena — a vibrant, resident-led space where veggies grow, culture thrives, and community heals.

The first community-owned project by Thrive, our community land trust, secured w/a 100-year lease that puts public land back in public hands.

I spoke at yesterday’s No Kings rally in Santa Ana to remind folks: silence is complicity. The fight for justice, dignity, and democracy must happen at every level—local, state, and national. The time to act is now.

Back in solidarity with UPTE & AFSCME 3299! Healthcare workers, researchers, & frontline staff keep our communities healthy—but they’re overworked, understaffed, & underpaid. A world-class system can’t run on burnout. It’s time to invest in its workers! #UCSTRIKE

Today on #CesarChavezDay, we honor a giant of the labor movement—César Chávez didn’t just fight for farmworkers, he fought for all workers to have dignity, power, and a voice on the job.

The legacy lives on. The fight continues.
