    Dear City Leaders,

    My name is Rocio, and I’ve lived in Orange my entire life. I loved growing up in this city so much that I chose to raise my own children here. I’m a proud product of Orange and of OUSD, and my children will be as well.

    Like many others, I’ve seen the disturbing videos circulating online of masked, unidentified individuals removing people from the streets or their workplaces in unmarked vehicles. Thankfully, the City of Orange has not seen much this happen. I’m writing to urge you, as our elected leaders, to use the power entrusted to you by your constituents to keep this kind of violence and injustice out of our community.

    If I were to witness someone being taken by individuals who are masked, unidentifiable, and driving unmarked vehicles, I would have no choice but to assume it is a kidnapping. That assumption may result in overwhelming our 911 operators.

    I sincerely hope our city continues to be the calm, peaceful environment we want for our children.
    Thank you for your commitment to protecting ALL who live in our city.
