Bill 74-25
Dear County Council,
Across the country, ICE has struck terror into the hearts, homes, and communities where
immigrants live, including right here in Hawaii County. Regardless of their legal status, they have been
rounded up. Arrest first, find facts later, in violation of due process. Beyond immigrants, we are
witnessing the use of police to silence dissent, which threatens the rights of everyone, including citizens.
I do not want our police force which, as expressed in a recent community meeting in Honoka'a with
Mayor Alameda, are much appreciated and trusted. Let's not turn them into ICE agents, or agents
enforcing a federal agenda to punish all who disagree with president Trump's views. Let's not deviate
from the traditional functions and relationships of the Hawaii County police department.
Thankyou.
