2:03Speaker 9

Welcome, Mr. Chavez.

2:05 – 3:57Speaker 28

Good afternoon, mayor, council members, and members of the public. Thank you for your time and attention. Today, staff recommends that the city council conduct a public hearing to consider adopting substantial amendment to the fiscal year 2526 annual action plan and the home ARP allocation plan. These amendments would reallocate the city's home American rescue plan funds to prioritize the construction of affordable rental housing. A little background. The city received approximately 3.1 million in home ARP funding through the American Rescue Plan to address homelessness and housing instability. After evaluating the community needs, staff is proposing a streamlined funding approach that reallocates 90% of the funds towards affordable rental housing and 10% towards administration and planning, which remains within HUD limits. These reallocations will support the development of a 120-unit affordable housing project at 400 Centinella Avenue. The project will provide 118 deed-restricted affordable housing units, along with supportive services for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The project also includes long-term affordability of up to 55 years and has already secured significant financing, including benefits project-based vouchers from the Englewood Housing Authority. In accordance with the City's Citizen Participation Plan, a public review and comment period is currently underway along with this public hearing. All feedback will be incorporated before the final amendments are brought back to the City Council for adoption and submission to HUD. Staff recommends proceeding with the public hearing and subsequent adoption of the amendments. This concludes my report and thank you for the privilege of your time.

Aye. public comment regarding other matters persons wishing to address city council on any matter connected with city business not elsewhere considered on the agenda may do so at this time one minute

9:16 – 10:06Speaker 23

You can start, ma'am. Time I've cared for patients through a global pandemic, economic hardships, and periods of profound political division. Through all of it, my patients have trusted me with their most personal fears, struggles, and hopes. Despite all these hardships, the fear that I am seeing among immigrant families, both documented and undocumented, is unlike anything I have witnessed before. People are afraid to go to work. They're afraid to attend medical appointments. They're afraid to seek services for themselves and for their children. Every day I care for people whose labor keeps our communities functioning. Their callous hands and sun-kissed skin are a permanent testament to the sacrifices they've made for their families and for our communities. These are not strangers. These are our neighbors.

10:06Speaker 9

Your time, sir.

10:08Speaker 23

That's why I believe the city of Englewood must go beyond relying solely on existing.

10:12Speaker 9

Sir, your time.

10:29 – 10:56Speaker 24

Hola, mi nombre es Marcela y trabajo aquí en Inglewood. Yo trabajo como jornalera y vendedor ambulante. Las redadas de migración que han ocurrido aquí en Inglewood han afectado y han puesto muy difícil para que yo pueda seguir trabajando. Les pedimos que agendan y voten para aprobar la ley de Inglewood para todos. Les pedimos su colaboración y liderazgo. Gracias.

11:01 – 11:24Speaker 13

I'll be translating for her. My name is Marcella and I work here in Inglewood. I work as a day laborer and a street vendor. The immigration raids that have taken place here in Inglewood have made it difficult for me to continue to work here. We ask that you agendize and vote in favor of passing the Inglewood for all act. We request your cooperation and your leadership. Thank you.

11:25Speaker 9

Thank you. Next speaker.

11:31 – 12:27Speaker 26

Buenas tardes. My name is Gerson Navidad. I'm an Ingle resident and a member of Immigrant Defenders Law Center. I'm giving public comment today to urge you to agendize and vote to pass the Inglewood for All Act. Nine years ago, I traveled by myself from El Salvador and was detained by ICE and CBP when seeking asylum at the border. I was later released and reunited with my mother in this beautiful city. Passing the Inglewood For All Act will significantly improve the lives of thousands of hardworking immigrant families because it will offer protection and ease the fear of being abducted by ICE, by wanting to work, or going to school. Our neighbors do not deserve to be in a depraved ICE prison to be a target of mass immigration federal agents. We urge you to develop agendas and vote to pass the Inglewood for All Act. This is not only a signal to Inglewood's community members that their leaders are willing to stand with them, but also to strengthen policies that further demonstrate why Inglewood is a leader in Los Angeles County. We come here today asking for your collaboration and leadership. Thank you.

12:28Speaker 9

Thank you, sir.

12:34 – 13:36Speaker 6

Hello. My name is Ben O'Hara. I'm a law student at UCLA School of Law, where I'm a summer fellow with the Mignano Family Center for Immigration Law and Policy. I'm new in this area, having moved to Los Angeles from Washington, DC last August, but I bring with me years of experience living and working in immigrant communities, in the DC area. I can attest to the benefit of local laws in DC and cities in Maryland that ensure resident sensitive data are not improperly collected and shared with immigration authorities and that local resources are not used to assist federal immigration enforcement. These policies have helped buffer our immigrant neighbors from the federal government's violent immigration enforcement tactics. By passing a similar ordinance, Inglewood can support and protect its residents as the federal government threatens to further terrorize immigrant community members here by deploying ICE to World Cup matches at SoFi Stadium. At a time when immigrant communities face growing fear and uncertainty, local leadership matters. For that reason, I urge you to pass the Inglewood for All Act. Thank you.

13:36Speaker 9

Thank you, sir.

13:41 – 14:27Speaker 11

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS AMBER SMITH, AND I'M THE PROPERTY MANAGER AT WEST SIDE RESIDENCE HALL IN CLOUDBURY COMMUNITIES LOCATED AT 725 AND 733 SOUTH HENRY, WHICH IS A LOW-INCOME COMPLEX LOCATED IN THE CITY OF INGLEWOOD. I WANT TO BRING ATTENTION TO AN ONGOING MAIL DELIVERY ISSUE AFFECTING OUR TENANTS, PARTICULARLY AT 733 SOUTH HENRY, WHICH CURRENTLY DOES NOT RECEIVE MAIL. to allow us to deliver the mail to individuals. I also want to give a public comment to thank the city of Englewood Police Department, who's often there. Kyle Cabrera, who's the city senior deputy attorney, who's also been there. Code Enforcement, who's also been awesome. Mr. NG and Ms. Fon. They've all worked with me there at the building. Thank you.

14:27 – 14:40Speaker 9

Thank you, ma'am. And ma'am, you have contacted the post office, is that right? Okay, because you know, they're the only ones that can control delivery of mail. I just wanted to be clear on that. Okay. All right.

14:42 – 15:41Speaker 17

Hi, I'm Danielle Williams. I'm not from Inglewood, but I'm a Clippers fan and a music fan. So I visit Inglewood a lot. I like going to Asteroid Vinyl down here. I've seen Beyonce play SoFi. I've seen Taylor Swift play SoFi. I've seen Janelle Monae at the YouTube theater. And this week, tickets are going on sale for Phoebe Bridgers at the Intuit Dome, which I would also really like to see. But I ask myself, is it right to spend money in Englewood when its city council won't protect its immigrant residents to the fullest of its ability, especially when its residents have been asking for months for it to do so by passing the Englewood for All Act? And I've heard that some council members think that ICE isn't a problem in Englewood. But we know that just last week on June 4th, there were two people kidnapped by ICE in Englewood. And even if there hadn't been any ICE kidnappings yet, waiting until it's a problem means you're already failing your residence. So please pass the Englewood for All Act, mostly to protect immigrants, but also so I can come down here and spend my money with a clear conscience.

15:41Speaker 9

Thank you. Thank you, ma'am.

15:48 – 16:44Speaker 2

Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Chloe Juni, and I currently go to USC, but I wouldn't have the opportunity to live here to give public comment today without my family's immigration journey from the Philippines to the United States. Injustice to immigrant communities anywhere is a threat to all communities. Therefore, I'm giving public comment today to urge you to agendize and vote to pass the Englewood for All Act. As major events come to be hosted in Inglewood, such as the FIFA World Cup, there will be more federal agents in the city. And we want to ensure that Inglewood does not collaborate in ICE raids. The very real fear of being picked up in an ICE raid due to one's skin color, accent, or hair texture has led many community members to alter their lives significantly. Community members are afraid to leave their house to go to work or school or even purchase groceries. Immigrants deserve protection. I urge you to develop, agendize, and vote to pass the Englewood for All Act. Thank you.

16:44Speaker 9

Thank you, ma'am. Come on, you guys.

16:50 – 17:50Speaker 1

Hi, so sorry. My name is Sofia Lopez. I am a law student at Loyola Law School in LA. And I moved to the US on my own eight years ago. It has provided me with immense educational opportunities from undergraduate degrees at Michigan to now being part of this vibrant community that exists here in California and specifically LA County. However, in the last few years, the very real fear of being interrupted, not only my experience, but also my freedom because of the way that I look, the way that I sound, and who I am has disrupted the tranquility that I have enjoyed. And it also has affected my own family back in Venezuela who all came together to support me and my efforts to move here, which is why I am here, honored to give public comment today to urge you to pass or at least consider passing the Englewood for All Act. Thank you.

17:50Speaker 9

Thank you, ma'am.

17:58 – 19:02Speaker 22

Hi, council members. My name is Nick Stuerblock, and I'm a senior researcher at LA Alliance for a New Economy, where we advocate for immigrant protections and stronger labor standards in the hospitality sector. I'm giving public comment today to urge you to agendize and vote to pass the Inglewood for All Act. As Inglewood prepares to host the World Cup in just three days, we urgently need a sanctuary city policy that protects immigrant communities and workers. Mega events such as the World Cup, as well as the Super Bowl next year and the Olympics following, bring with it a significant increase in federal agents that pose a real threat to residents and workers. We need to ensure that Englewood has safeguards in place that prohibit city resources being mobilized by ICE or data shared with immigration enforcement that could put the community in danger. Workers are providing examples of how we can stand together and protect our neighbors. And so far, stadium workers just reached a tentative agreement that allows them an unprecedented right to strike if federal immigration agency actions threaten worker safety. The city of Englewood should follow their lead and bravery by enacting the Englewood for All Act to protect all residents and ensure that Englewood is a leader in protecting immigrant rights.

19:03Speaker 9

Thank you. Thank you.

19:09 – 20:12Speaker 18

Good afternoon. My name is Talia Inlander, and I'm deputy director of the Mignogna Family Center for Immigration Law and Policy at UCLA School of Law. In the face of the federal government's increasingly violent and lawless immigration tactics that were vividly unleashed in our county A year ago this week, city leaders like you have an important role to play in preserving scarce local resources and protecting communities. That role is consistent with both the letter and spirit of the California Values Act, which permits localities to take additional steps to protect residents. It's also consistent with the authority the U.S. Constitution preserves for local control, not federal commandeering. I encourage you to heed the community's call to pass an Englewood for All Act that ensures local resources are not used to assist in federal immigration enforcement, creates strong protections with respect to municipal data, and promotes trust by including transparency and accountability mechanisms. The council's enactment of the Englewood for All Act will mark an important step in preserving the city's community, prosperity, and safety. Thank you.

20:12Speaker 9

Thank you, ma'am.

20:17 – 21:23Speaker 14

Council members, welcome back to our movement. Mr. Butts, you mentioned 15 officers in the previous meeting, and that's on record, but that's not the information we're asking for. We want the names of the two officers from Port Patrol Car 1442 and the officers, the two officers who arrived on the scene as shown in this video, all of which used excessive force to brutally murdered Brian Bostic after he was clearly showing signs of submission and in a prone position. These officers' names still have not been given to us as public information. Look, God is bigger than us. Everybody in this room, Isaiah 40, 31, those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. Those who soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint. Look, I'm just saying this. We will continue to move forward and we will continue to advocate on the name of Brian Bostic. We are not here to fight. We want justice. Don't let it be your child. Justice for Brian Bostic.

21:29 – 22:27Speaker 10

I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF BRIAN BOSTICK. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE FALSE NARRATIVES. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE VIDEOS AND AUDIO, THE POLICE BRUTALITY AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATION. AFTER THE FOUR OFFICERS WERE ON HIS BACK, PER POLICE TRAINING, HE SHOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY BEEN PUT INTO A SIDELINE OR SITTING POSITION. INSTEAD, THE PICTURE OF HIM He was on the curb lying flat on his back, looking dead while officers stand over him talking. I also have a video of the officers picking Brian up off the curb, putting his dangling, lifeless body in the police car. Having him in that position is dangerous due to the risks positional asphyxiation. We want to know who cleared him after being tased and beaten. Is this why you raided nearby businesses and took video footage? The business owners fear for their lives because of the bullying tactics and harassment by the officers. We want answers. I know you guys are all on the same team, but justice for Brian Bostic.

22:30Speaker 9

If we do that again, whoever speaks out is going to have to leave the room, period. Go ahead, ma'am.

22:37 – 23:33Speaker 20

You're more concerned about... Ma'am, go ahead and take your time. Can you please reset my time? No, ma'am, go ahead. You are more concerned about the order of this meeting than about life. And that's the problem. Somebody was killed. Brian Bostic was killed by Englewood PD. And you continue to lie in the same way that has happened before in this city and around this country. Brian Bostic should still be here. There is no justice in the name of Brian Bostic because his loved ones cannot have him back. You are more concerned about your meeting than you are about a life. So if this meeting gets disrupted, it's because you disrupted a life, you disrupted a family, you disrupted a community and make no mistake. We will continue to do so. And if it makes you uncomfortable, then so be it. And let's make it crystal clear. There's no mistake.

23:33 – 23:53Speaker 9

Public comment. Um, we're going to provide some information from the LA County coroner's office as we promised. Okay. Go ahead, sir.

23:53Speaker 4

Go ahead, sir.

23:57 – 24:11Speaker 9

Proceed. Go ahead, sir. Ma'am, you're going to have to proceed, sir.

24:13Speaker 8

the LA County Medical Examiner, for those who don't know, is this on?

24:20 – 25:14Speaker 8

Okay. Released a report that in essence blames the victim of this callous racist police murder that took place. It blames the victim by saying that Brian Bostic died because of something that was in his mouth, supposedly. How did Brian Bostic make audible sounds, audible voices, that are on video, audible sounds of words, if there was something in his mouth, that's number one. Number two, why is, why does this medical examiner's report talk about an unknown substance? It didn't even, they didn't bother to test what it was.

25:15Speaker 9

Can you hear it at time, sir? Sir, you're at time. Sir, you're at time.

25:19Speaker 8

Inglewood for all...

25:21 – 25:41Speaker 9

Sir sir sir you're at time Okay, so Sergeant arms the next time somebody speaks out you just scored them out period That's it. All right. Go ahead ma'am. I

25:43 – 26:27Speaker 12

Hello, my name is Giselle. I am born and raised in Englewood. I am a student at Yale University and a member of the ING Fellowship. I am giving a public comment today to urge you to agendize and vote to pass the Englewood For All Act. I have family members living in fear every day because of the ICE raids. Family that was forced to leave the place they called home for over 20 years. My mother who can't sleep without the nightmare of her family being separated at any time. My family, like every other person in this world, deserves respect not because of what they provide or produce, but because they are human beings. Stand with us, protect our neighbors, and do not let Inglewood become a place where family lives in constant fear. Inglewood is my home, but you have failed us.

26:29Speaker 9

Thank you, ma'am.

26:36 – 27:38Speaker 19

Good afternoon, mayor and council members. My name is Pax Ali Marquez, and I'm one of the co-leaders of L.A. Ford's Immigrant Justice Working Group and also a member of the Sanctuary Coalition. I urge you to meet with the L.A. Sanctuary Coalition members and allies to develop, agendize, and pass the Inglewood for All Act. Although SB 54, the California Values Act, provides some protection, it does not have enough power to protect people. This is why local sanctuary ordinances matter. Several other local municipalities, including the city of Los Angeles, Huntington Park, Linwood, and Cudahy, have passed similar ordinances, and we believe Englewood residents should have the same protections as their neighbors. As of 15 minutes ago, 1,064 of us have emailed you saying to pass the Englewood for All Act. This is not a coincidence that this time and the other time that we were here in April, we said the same thing. One family is more than enough to be impacted by these raids, and we need to prevent, not wait for the next one. Thank you.

27:47 – 28:46Speaker 25

Good afternoon. My name is Dylan Wood. I am a resident of the city of Los Angeles, but I do have many friends, coworkers, and neighbors who spend much of their time in Inglewood, whether it is working here or coming to spend their money in the local businesses and restaurants. I also wanted to say that this past week marks a year since the federal government sent agents from the Department of Homeland Security to Los Angeles. to assist in ICE deportations and raids. I saw how the city of Los Angeles organized, the communities came together, they rose up and they stood back against that injustice. I also saw how Inglewood was part of that. I've seen that level of commitment from the people of the city. It's time to see that from the city council itself. I urge you to develop, implement, and agendize the Englewood for All Act. Thank you.

28:46Speaker 9

Thank you, sir.

28:51 – 30:01Speaker 15

Hello, my name is Herminia Galvez. I'm a resident of Englewood, and I'm also part of a nonprofit here in the city of Englewood. I come to you guys because we have emailed, called, and not once have we received a reply from none of you. And I've heard people here say, we got to vote. We got to vote. But we voted you guys in. We, as your constituents, voted you guys in. So when we come here, we're coming and asking our city officials. I'm not talking about the voting elections in November, about Trump and all this, presidents. I'm talking about you guys, your position. I brought a lady here that needed assistance to a town hall meeting. She got evicted. She was affected by immigration. And not once did you guys acknowledge that. You guys have went, even you ladies, I've seen you guys go to other organizations outside of Englewood. But not once have you guys ever responded to want to be a community member within your own community? What is happening here? Aren't we one community? Aren't we one race, like one nation? One God?

30:02 – 30:26Speaker 9

You're out of time. Ma'am, you're at time. Ma'am. Go ahead, ma'am.

30:28 – 31:32Speaker 27

Hello, my name is Sophia Wrench. I'm an attorney with Public Counsel and part of the Los Angeles Sanctuary Coalition. Even as recently as last week, ICE raids have continued. Two people were kidnapped in Englewood on June 4th. Even if it's not in the media, it's still happening right here in Englewood. So what would the Englewood for All Act do that's not already covered by California state law? First, it would ensure that city resources are not wasted supporting federal immigration enforcement operations. Second, it would restrict access for immigration authorities to non-public areas of city property. Third, it would ensure that privacy protections limit when city employees, contractors, and applications are needed for services and when they can inquire about, collect, and share residents' sensitive information. And it would also improve transparency and accountability by requiring the Englewood Police Department to document when they are called for federal immigration enforcement activities. These are not controversial things. Many other cities have already enacted them. Please take action. Thank you.

31:39 – 32:39Speaker 7

I graduated from Highland Elementary, Crozer Middle School, Englewood High School. I remember back in 2010, we had to come here because Englewood police killed five people within two months. And we came and we saw Mayor Doran sit up there like it was nothing. Right now, there's information online about when Englewood was ran by the Klan. You know, and they terrorized black people. But today, I'm looking at half the people sitting up there are black. You know, we talk about all these stadiums that have come to Englewood champion that right now. But I hear you on the radio talking about the Wood Cup. But you sit up there with no concern about another black man who has once again been murdered in your city. This is ridiculous. Like like the lady said, you know, we are in election season. And from what I see, your favor is dropping significantly. So I encourage everybody up there to think about you are in an election season. And one way or another, there will be justice for Brian Bostick.

32:40 – 34:25Speaker 9

Thank you, sir. Okay. With that, we'll close public comment. Before we have council... Before we go to council comments... I'M GOING TO READ THE RELEASE FROM THE COUNTY CORONER'S OFFICE AS I PROMISED WHEN THE CITY RECEIVED IT. AND THIS IS FROM THEIR WEBSITE. PUBLISHED MAY 28, 2026.
