My Testimony requesting DEFERRAL of Resolution 74-25 (on the Agenda of 2/18/2025 at 9am)
Aloha Chair and members of the Council. I am Nancy Moser, a long-time resident of Hawaii County,
since 1971, sequentially in locations of Ke'ei, Pepe'ekeo, Hilo, then with a caregiving break back to
my parents' home in Honolulu, and now since 2016 in Waikoloa.
Our neighbors throughout this island are all precious, including those who are citizens and those
who are not, or not yet, or those who are here temporarily for studies or business. I'm very
concerned that any of us, including those with physical appearance that suggests to some that we
"could be immigrants", can be caught up in the broad plan of mass deportations by federal agents.
Efforts promised by the Trump administration are not well thought out, and certainly not in an
accountable way. 1 do not want our valued police officers and their department to be snagged with
responsibility, liability and complicity in carrying out any of this federal effort. Lots of damage to our
community members, individuals and at large, can come from the promised federal actions against
immigrants.
I ask that Resolution 74-25 be deferred.
If you do wish to pursue this resolution, please carefully review in detail the agreements proposed,
and vote only after providing the public at large with the same opportunity to review and comment
on the full text of documents proposed.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify.
Nancy Moser
