Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2025 9:26 AM
To: Council Testimony
Subject: Council Resolution 74-25
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 Linda Rosenstock, a resident of Hawaii
County, in Kamuela.
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. I 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.
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.
Mahalo,
Linda Rosenstock
