Good morning, Madame Chair, Mr. Co -Chair, and City Commissioners. —Commissioner
RE. 5 King, I am sorry for your loss. — Commissioner Rosado, congratulations on your election.
#1740 We in Downtown Miami look forward to working with you. My name is Terrell Fritz, a
7 Downtown resident and homeowner at 111 E. FLagLer Street. I waited in line at City Hall
Execut and was unable to speak regarding today's agenda (June 17, 2025) due to the large
e number of people waiting outside. Regarding DI.7 — Miami Downtown Development
111 Memor Authority: Last week, Ivonne Berrios', DDA's COO, CFO, & Budget Treasurer outlined a

33131 ICE - MDT efficiency. Let's do some math. If residents do contribute 58% of annual assessments,
Dept that's $7.35 million next year. Yet $9.28 million wilt be allocated for quality -of -life services
of that directly benefit residents. If the DDA did nothing but quality of Life, that would be a
HomeL return on investment worth celebrating. But they do so much more through urbanism; arts,
and culture, and entertainment; and business development initiatives. Most important: DDA
Securit services are enhanced services, above the City's baseline. Labeling them as "double

James Torres and the DNA do NOT speak for me.

Hello, my name is Max . I am a resident of Miami, specifically the Little Havana area. I am

17 a city built by immigrants — 55% of our residents are foreign -born and 67% identify as

andum agreement positions them to do something they were not meant to do. Miami is
15330 of 17 undeniably different from the rest of the US. Across the country citizens and non -citizens
Agrmn alike have been detained for speaking Spanish or simply "Looking" Like immigrants. There

extremely Low turnout so even ethics violations and convictions aren't re Levant in our city

the opportunity before you today can truly put Miami on a tact to significantly improve the

Sheh Then 601 RE. 5 Jun Good evening, Commissioners and Mayor. My name is Sheherazade Thenard , and I am a
eraz and SW #1740 17 resident of Miami and a member of this community. I'm here today to urge you to take a
ade 11th 7 2025 firm and public stance against any collaboration between the City of Miami and
St Execut 9:14 Immigration and Customs Enforcement —ICE. Collaborating with ICE puts our neighbors,
Miami e am families, and essential workers at risk. It creates fear in our communities, discourages
, FL Memor MDT people from reporting crimes, and undermines the trust that is vital between residents and
33129 andum the institutions meant to protect them. Miami is a city built by immigrants — Afro -
of Caribbean, Latinx, Haitian, Indigenous, and so many others. These communities make this
Agrmn city vibrant, resilient, and economically strong. They should not live in fear that a traffic
t - stop, a call for help, or simply existing in public could lead to detention, separation, or
United deportation. We know ICE has a documented history of abuse, racial profiling, and
States violating human rights. Any partnership with them — formal or informal — stains Miami's
ICE - values and legacy as a sanctuary for those seeking a better life. We demand that our city
Dept draw a dear line: no cooperation with ICE. Not through data sharing, not through jail holds,
of not through loopholes or silence. We need investment in care, not cages. Safety means
Home healthcare, housing, and dignity — not surveillance and deportation. I urge you to pass a
and resolution that bans any cooperation with ICE and makes it dear that Miami stands with its
people, not with violent federal immigration enforcement. Thank you.

My name is Michelle Hung and I am representing the Downtown Media Center to speak on
item PA1 in strong support of the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and to urge the
Commission to maintain full funding. The DDA has played a critical role in revitalizing
Downtown Miami, especially in the wake of the pandemic, which left many areas run-down
and many businesses struggling. Thanks to their efforts, we've seen the streets become
Jun noticeably cleaner, safer, and more welcoming —paving the way for a more livable and
17 hospitable urban core. Their work has contributed to bringing back foot traffic through
2025 vibrant cultural and family -friendly events, attracting new businesses and economic
8:39 development, boosting public safety and cleanliness, and reestablishing Downtown as a
am destination for both locals and visitors. The DDA is helping shape a new era for Downtown
MDT Miami —one that is inclusive, creative, and economically resilient. Cutting their funding now
would not only stall this momentum, but risk undoing the progress that has made
Downtown a rising hub of culture, commerce, and community. The DDA is doing a good
job. They are showing up for the people of Miami and actively improving our city's heart.
Please continue to support their mission and ensure they have the resources to keep
moving Downtown Miami forward.

residents shaken and questioning the effectiveness of our current public safety measures.
Commissioners, our police resources are already stretched. We need to focus on protecting
our neighborhoods, not enforcing federal immigration laws. 287(g) would divert attention
from the real safety concerns our residents are facing —concerns that demand your
Leadership and action. This is not just a policy decision. It's a statement about who we are
as a city. Miami is a city of immigrants. We should be building trust, not fear. I respectfully
urge you to vote no on the 287(g) agreement. Let's keep our focus where it belongs —on
keeping all Miamians safe. Thank you.
Opposition to 287(g) — Financial and Economic Risks to the City of Miami Dear Mayor and
Commissioners, I am writing as a concerned resident of Miami to express strong opposition
to any consideration of entering into a 287(g) agreement with Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE). White such agreements are often presented as tools to enhance public
safety, the real impact —particularly for a city as diverse, international, and economically
dynamic as Miami —would be harmful both fiscally and socially. 1. Financial Burden on
Local Government The 287(g) program shifts the responsibility of federal immigration
enforcement onto Local governments. This means that Miami taxpayers would be required
to fund training, detentions, Legal processing, and administrative support without federal
reimbursement. For example, jurisdictions that have adopted 287(g) have reported annual
costs exceeding $5 million, a strain that Miami simply cannot afford when there are
pressing needs in public safety, housing, and infrastructure. 2. Negative Impact on Local
Businesses and Workforce Our economy re Lies heavily on immigrant Labor, especially in
key sectors such as hospitality, construction, food service, and domestic work. By creating
an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, 287(g) would drive workers out of the Labor market,
resulting in workforce shortages, higher turnover, and increased operating costs for small
and medium-sized businesses. This is a risk we cannot afford at a time when economic
recovery and business stability are critical. 3. Disruption to Working Families Thousands of
Miami families depend on immigrant workers for childcare, housekeeping, and elderly care.
Jun If these workers are targeted or fear being out in public, their employers —often working
17 parents or caregivers —wilt face immediate disruptions to their daily Lives. This not only
2025 hurts individual households but weakens the support systems that keep our communities
8:29 functioning. 4. Damage to Miami's Tourism Reputation Miami's identity as an open,
am welcoming, and globally -connected city is a cornerstone of its $18+ billion tourism industry.
MDT Implementing a program that aligns our Local Law enforcement with federal immigration
raids sends the wrong message to tourists, international businesses, and investors. It
undermines years of branding and community building that position Miami as a destination
for culture, safety, and opportunity. 5. Reduced Public Safety and Community Trust When
residents fear that Local police are working with ICE, they are Less Likely to report crimes or
cooperate in investigations. This erodes public safety for everyone. Our Law enforcement
should focus on protecting all residents, not serving as a pipeline to deportation. Why This
Matters At the heart of this issue is the trust between you, as our elected Leaders, and the
people you represent. Miami is not just a city of policies —it is a city of people. Families
who rely on each other. SmaLt businesses that power our neighborhoods. Workers who
sacrifice and contribute every day. You were elected to be the voice of this community —to
make decisions that reflect its values, protect its integrity, and safeguard its future. I hope
you wilt hear the concerns of the people who Live, work, raise families, and grow
businesses here. This is your opportunity to choose compassion, economic common sense,
and community resilience over fear -based enforcement that has been shown time and
again to do more harm than good. In Closing The 287(g) program is not a cost -neutral
solution; it is a financially burdensome, economically disruptive, and socially divisive policy
that would harm Miami far more than it helps. I urge you to stand with residents, business
owners, and families who support smart, inclusive policies that promote safety, not fear.
Thank you for your time, Leadership, and willingness to Listen to your community.

I stand firmly against the City of Miami's decision to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and

RE. 5 government and our immigrant communities —it endangers Lives, divides families, and
#1740 drains valuable public resources that should be invested in education, housing, healthcare,

Execut disregard for basic human rights. By aligning with ICE, Miami is choosing fear over

RE. 5
#1740 I strongly oppose the continuation and expansion of the 287(g) program. While it is framed
7 as a tool to enhance community safety, in practice, it undermines public trust, encourages
Execut racial profiling, and diverts local law enforcement from their core mission of protecting aft
e residents. This program has a documented history of abuse and overreach, often targeting
Memor individuals for minor infractions or based solely on perceived immigration status.
15840 andum Jun Delegating federal immigration enforcement duties to local law enforcement entangles
sw of 17 community policing with immigration control, which discourages immigrant communities
Dani Moli 143 Agrmn 2025 from reporting crimes, cooperating with investigations, or seeking protection when needed.
ave t - Moreover, the vague and overly broad language used in the agenda item — such as
ela na 8.01
Miami United "criminal aliens" and those who "undermine the safety of our nation's communities" —
am
, II States MDT lacks dear legal definitions and opens the door to discriminatory practices. The program
33177 ICE - does not provide adequate oversight or accountability, and it fosters fear rather than safety.
Dept If the goal is truly public safety, then resources should be invested in community -based
of programs, legal due process, and fair immigration reforms — not in programs that
Home criminalize and marginalize vulnerable populations. I urge decision -makers to end
and participation in the 287(g) program and to pursue policies that protect aft members of our

Good morning, Mayor and Commissioners, My name is Lillian Alexandra Orellana. While I

RE. 5
#1740 Christine King. Many of my coworkers and colleagues are immigrants and Miami residents.
7 I, myself, am a proud daughter of immigrants. As such, I urge you to vote no on this
agreement. Training and deputizing local police to enforce immigration law will not make
Execut
e
us safer. This would only generate more fear and distrust between police and the
communities that they're supposed to protect. When local officers are seen as an extension

NE andum

Lillis Orett St Agrmn 2025 entire neighborhoods at risk. Public safety reties on trust, and 287(g) destroys that trust.
n ana 400e United 7:19 Commissioner King, I especially want to address you. As the first Guyanese -American
am elected to the City of Miami Commission, you understand the power and potential of
Miami States
MDT immigrant communities. You know firsthand what it means to Live as someone who came

33138 Dept from somewhere else, and how much immigrants contribute to this city. You represent
thousands of Miamians who, Like you, came here for a better future. A vote for 287(g) is a
of
HomeL vote to criminalize those same people. There is no Legal requirement to enter this
agreement. There is no federal funding tied to it and no justification for turning our Local
and
police into immigration agents. But there is a dear cost: to taxpayer dollars, to civic rights,
Securit

communities. Commissioner King, and all of you, vote no on 287(g) and stand with the

RE. 5 Good morning, Councitmembers. My name is Marquis Duncan, and I live in Commissioner
#1740 Joe Carollo's district. Commissioner, I want to thank you sincerely for the improvements
7 you've championed in our community —your impact has been visible, and I appreciate it.
Execut But I'm here today to speak about something far more critical: Item 287G, which would
e partner Miami police with ICE. You all know the heart of this city. You've waked it. You've
Memor grown up in it. You've represented it. So I want you to think not Like Lawmakers today, but
andum Jun Like neighbors —because pairing our police with ICE doesn't just impact policy, it shakes
1239 of 17 the soul of Miami. It's June 17th. On this day in 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New
Agrmn York Harbor. She became a symbol of freedom and refuge. Of hope. Of welcome. Of the
Marq Dunc SW 2025
t - immigrant story that defines this country. And make no mistake —Miami is that story in
uis an 13TH 7:12
United motion. This city is the embodiment of the promise Lady Liberty made. So go ahead —
CT am
States MDT pass 287G if you must. But if you do, then take the "magic" out of the Magic City white
ICE - you're at it. No more cafecito windows. Shut down Versailles. Pluck the roosters from Little
Dept Havana. Wipe out the Cuban walk on 13th Street. Silence the salsa, the merengue, the
of bachata, the samba, and the KreyoL rhythms in Little Haiti too. Because what you're saying
HomeL with this vote is that those cultures —our culture —are suspect. Disposable. 287G may claim
and to target criminals, but it inevitably targets our communities. It makes people afraid to call
Securit 911. It separates families. It tells the world that Miami doesn't remember where she came
y DHS from. But I do. And I hope you do too. Please —vote no.

As a college student and resident of Broward County, I have always appreciated and been
surrounded by diversity. With everything currently going on in recent times, I feel as if the
common public shares an instilled sense of fear and distrust within our system that is
meant to protect us. Working on campus, I interact with many groups of people every day,
including student athletes, freshman students, and international students; many of which I
Jun can tell have been affected and impacted by the news recently. I do not support the Miami
17 police partnering with ICE, as it would continue to divide our community into "us" and

a ghau SW #1740 16 Commissioners, I am writing to strongly oppose RE.5, which proposes entering into a
s 20th 7 2025 287(g) agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This agreement
St. Execut 9:01 would effectively deputize Miami police officers to carry out federal immigration
e pm enforcement, a move that is deeply troubling and counterproductive to the safety and
Memor MDT cohesion of our community. Miami is a proud, diverse city built and sustained by
andum immigrants. Trust between Law enforcement and immigrant communities is vital for public
of safety. When Local police take on immigration enforcement roles, that trust is broken.
Agrmn Victims and witnesses of crimes become afraid to come forward. Communities go silent,
t - and public safety suffers. The 287(g) program has a Long and troubling history of racial
United profiting, civic rights violations, and overreach. It turns Local police into enforcers of unjust
States federal immigration policies, diverting resources away from actual community safety.
ICE - Miami's officers should be focused on protecting all residents, not tearing families apart or
Dept fueling deportation pipelines. This agreement would also impose unnecessary financial and
of Legal burdens on the City and its taxpayers, with no measurable benefit in crime reduction
HomeL or community security. I urge the Commission to reject RE.5 and reaffirm Miami's

As a staff member of Emgage Action Florida, I strongly urge the City of Miami to reject
participation in the 287(g) program. This policy would deputize local police to enforce
federal immigration laws, undermining the trust between law enforcement and Miami's
RE. 5 diverse immigrant communities. When local police act as immigration agents, residents
#1740 become afraid to report crimes or seek help, making our city less safe for everyone. 287(g)
7 agreements have a documented history of leading to racial profiting and civil rights
Execut violations, with past federal investigations confirming these abuses. These programs also
e divert local resources away from community safety and toward federal priorities. Miami's
Memor police should focus on protecting our neighborhoods, not targeting them. Florida law does
andum not require the City of Miami to enter into a 287(g) agreement. We call on city leaders to

South Agrmn and targets our immigrant neighbors. Miami must remain a city that welcomes and protects

pm
Street States MDT agents, immigrant residents become less likely to report crimes or seek help, fearing
ICE - deportation or targeting. This undermines public safety for everyone. - Promotes Racial
Dept Profiting: 287(g) programs have a documented history of civil rights violations, including
of racial profiling and wrongful detention, often targeting people based on appearance or
Home language ability. - Increases Vulnerability to Detention and Deportation: The program gives
and local police more power to detain and process immigrants for deportation, making entire
Securit communities more vulnerable. - Diverts Local Resources: Local funding and police
y DHS resources are shifted away from community safety to federal immigration enforcement,
with little benefit to local residents. Overall, 287(g) agreements create fear and division,
making Miami's immigrant communities less safe and less likely to engage with local
institutions.

What you are proposing is not law and order —it is repression. It mirrors, with chilling

I would like my comment read into the record. I'm speaking out to urge the Commission to
vote NO on RE 5. Our local police should not enter into a 287g agreement with DHS
because doing so will not make our community safer — instead, it will stoke fear, increase
RE. 5
discrimination and racial profiling, and make it more likely that victims of crime stay in the
#1740

resident of Miami. I moved to this city two years ago, and since the day I arrived here,
Execut
what has struck me about our community and what makes our city so special is our
diversity. Miami residents come from all walks of life and all corners of the globe, and we

Heat Ode 22nd Agrmn 2025 victims of violent crime, often in the form of domestic violence and sexual assault. For
her L 4:08 many of my clients, they already face great fear of reporting their assault because they

33137 ICE - MDT they also fear going to the police because instead of finding safety and officers who wilt

of for deportation. This is not what our police force should be about. It should be focused on
making our community safe, not on enforcing immigration taws that are the job of the
Homel
and federal government. In sum, entering into a 287g agreement with DHS wilt erode the
public's trust in our police, particularly among our Large and vibrant immigrant community,
Securit
y DHS and it wilt not be an effective use of our resources. Instead, our police resources should go
to preventing violence, investigating criminal networks, and holding to account those who
harm others. Respectfully, I urge you to vote NO. The City of Miami and our Local police

So, for the people elected to become our next Mayor and District 5 and District 3
Commissioner in our upcoming November 2025 Municipal Election. Based on
Commissioner Pardo's belief that our elected officials cant do much in one year — there
should not be any issues with those folks running for re-election again in November 2026. I
would even use my time and support from the 10,000+ City of Miami households

subscribed to my bi-weekly newsletter — to help you all get this amended proposal passed
in our upcoming November 2025 Municipal Election. What do you say? Respectfully,
Michael A. Hepburn City of Miami Citizen
Jun Property taxes in downtown are so high that it has made me decide to sell my property. I
16 pay $6k a year which is about 500 a month which is crazy and I'm definitely not getting
2025 that much value out of Living in downtown. I recently found out that a big part of this
1:40 ridiculous tax is because of the DDA, and I want speak out against it and I think downtown
pm would be better off without it. Lastly I wanted to say, part of the reason people move to
MDT Florida is to pay Less taxes, and having this crazy high property tax is going against that.

Please vote yes on this item and stop deferring it. We need more green spaces and Less
concrete. The manager should conduct a city wide assessment of tree and environmental
regulations as welt as the administrative process tied to them. this resolution is Long
overdue . it is essential and dire need due the drastic and real climate changes we are
experiencing that we protect our tree canopies and not go about destroying them to make
room for more concrete and enrich the greedy developers . WE DONT LIVE IN A ZIP CODE
,WE LIVE IN A A PLANET , NOW SHARE IT AND PRESERVE....
Jun I urge aLL city commissioners and the mayor to vote NO on this item steer our city from
16 tyranny and keep embracing democracy for all . The police of the city of Miami has no
2025 business conducting or assisting ICE a federal unit of the federal government in any of
12:5 their immigration enforcement procedures. The Miami police are not federal employees
8pm and should remain as such not militarize our city and have its citizens Live in fear. VOTE
MDT NO BE LEADERS AND PROTECT WHAT LITTLE IS LEFT OUR DEMOCRACY

Attention: City of Miami Mayor and Commission We have an enormous civic empowerment
gap here in the City of Miami with our residents. We must fix this problem FIRST, by
raising the consciousness of our citizens, so the vast majority can understand the value of
being involved with their government and how to work with it. Instead of doing what you
are currently proposing — we need to lean into cultivating our resident's empowerment by
creating strong neighborhood associations, citizen 101 academies, public campaign
financing mechanisms, participatory budgeting initiatives, etc., so our citizens have access
to the knowledge and skill set needed to activate their democracy. Switching our elections
to even years instead of keeping it where it is now. Just dilutes our messaging power and
widens the gap even further at this time because the civic education foundation for the vast
majority of our residents is just not there yet. The truth is this... We do not have a voter
turnout problem — that's not the real issue. The majority of our residents do not believe in
You. And they truly do believe that our government is not working for them now and never
wilt. That's why the vast majority of our people choose to not vote in our municipal
elections, participate in our meetings, or advocate for changes that they believe wilt never
come. If you switch our upcoming elections from the dais without Letting WE THE PEOPLE
decide our fate — future City of Miami elections and initiatives wilt be Located towards the
end of the ballot; our mayoral and commission elections and ballot initiatives wilt be thrown
into the pot with so many other races including high profile and not; and we would just be
relying on HOPE that the majority of our residents are doing their homework on all of the
candidates, judges, ballot questions, charter amendments, etc., before they vote. Please
understand that I am not just giving you my opinion — we conducted a survey of over
10,000 City of Miami households this year and 92% of the respondents indicated that
when they voted in the November 2024 general election, they did not totally understand
everything that they voted for or against. In particular, the survey respondents mentioned
that they did not have solid background information on multiple races, candidates and their
stances on the issues. The majority of the respondents mentioned they had no idea who
the judges were on the ballot, 80% of the respondents could not correctly name or select
their assigned elected officials based on their address, and 77% of respondents did not
know the difference between Living in the City of Miami and Miami Dade County. Moving
our elections to even years at this time does not fix this! If you vote for changing our
elections to 2026, without allowing our people to decide our fate — the current climate that
you all have helped create in our city wilt continue to hurt working class people in our city.
And I just cannot sit back and allow that to happen. It's also not fair to Candidates Like
myself and others who have been working so hard to educate, inspire, and mobilize our
residents for this upcoming election. But I know — some of you don't care about that. So, I
will just say this. If you proceed forward with pushing forth an ordinance that wilt change
our upcoming elections without having our voters decide and extend your terms by an
additional year. I wilt obtain Legal counsel and bring forth a Lawsuit against this action and
the city immediately. I wilt also do everything in my power with my remaining resources to
initiate a recall effort campaign on the Commissioner who proposed to pass this proposal
because this is just not right. Please try using your political wilt, resources, and agency in
our city to uplift and empower our people instead of continuing to unilaterally make
decisions without the people that have elected you all and financially fund our government.
I sincerely hope you do not pursue this course of action because it does not solve the root
problem that exists Respectfully, Michael A. Hepburn, M.Ed. City of Miami District 1

7 I am a resident City of Miami. I'm speaking today to express my strong opposition to any
Execut cooperation between the City of Miami Police Department and U.S. Immigration and
e Customs Enforcement (ICE). Local police departments should serve and protect aft
Memor members of our community, regardless of immigration status. When focal Law enforcement
andum Jun aligns itself with federal immigration enforcement, it erodes trust, stokes fear, and makes
3101 of 16 our neighborhoods Less safe for everyone. Immigrant communities are an integral part of
Agrmn the city's fabric. When they fear that any encounter with police could Lead to detention or
Hibisc 2025
Mari Lovo t - deportation, they are far Less Likely to report crimes, seek help, or cooperate in
us
Street United am investigations. This weakens public safety and undermines the very mission of our police
States MDT department. Furthermore, assisting ICE diverts Local resources and personnel away from
ICE - community -focused policing. It opens the door to racial profiling and civic rights violations,
Dept especially in a city as diverse as ours. Miami should be a welcoming and inclusive city. We
of must not allow our police force to become an arm of federal immigration enforcement. I
Home urge the City Commission and Police Department to prohibit collaboration with ICE,
and including through detainers, joint operations, or data sharing. Thank you.

I have had the great privilege and pleasure of growing up in Miami and returning to live
here after living in many other places across the United States. Through this experience, it
is dear to me that we live in one of the most vibrant cities in the country. We live in a city
where our people are diverse. Our culture is unique. Our values are strong and inclusive. A
city where growth and prosperity feel so much more in reach than any other city in this
country. It is the open and unsegregated nature of our communities that allows this. Open
and unsegregated communities that we would not have if not for the mutual respect and
cooperation between our immigrant population and our Local government, including the City
of Miami Police Department. So, I find myself asking you, my commissioners, what is to
be gained by jeopardizing that? What is to be gained by treating our immigrant population
with suspicion? Because surety you must understand that to partner with ICE in any way is
to place the standing of every immigrant in our city, regardless of Legal status, under
suspicion. There is no necessity for this. No Legal precedent that makes such actions
inevitable. We would overburden Local taw enforcement not only professionally, but if we
are honest, personalty, as many of them or their Loved ones could easily become targets in
this conflict. Miami has its own concerns to focus on, and to give resources over to political
action designed to divide us only means that we take those resources from where they are
actually needed, set back our own progress, and make future progress all but impossible.
If the emotional, culturaL, and social implications of these raids and arrests do not move
you, then Let me draw your attention to the economic and practical. Since 2020, we have
been experiencing an unprecedented Labor shortage in two of our most financially
significant industries. In farming and construction, both skilled and unskilled positions have
been difficult to fiLL. Many construction projects from the city to home Level have been
delayed. The average wait time to get a roof repair regularly exceeds two months. And
hurricane season is only just beginning. It certainly cannot be a secret to any of you that
immigrants make up much of this workforce. When the state of Montana partnered with
ICE initiatives, their own economy nearly went into a tailspin as many ranch workers were
arrested and deported with no regard for due process or thought to what such a dramatic
change in population might mean for Local businesses. Those who were not arrested simply
stopped showing up because no job can have value when the threat of deportation Looms
overhead. Let's add to this that we have already seen multiple instances in other states of
naturalized immigrants and even citizens from birth being swept up in this process with
horrifying results. We are an immigrant city. We feel that more keenly than perhaps any
other city in the country. These raids, this cooperation with ICE, subjugating ourselves to
such a disorganized and ultimately futile effort, wilt only result in the Loss of what makes
Miami. It wilt destroy generations of trust in our communities, necessitate an increase in
taxes, strain our resources in an already economically perilous time, hurt our families and
friends, and has the possibility to putt the rug out from under our economy altogether. So, I
am asking you again. What is to be gained by jeopardizing everything we already are?
Please vote no on this 287(g) agreement. Vote no to cooperating with ICE. Thank you for
your time.
Mary WaLs 2901 RE. 19 Jun I strongly support RE.19, the resolution proposing Lifetime term Limits for Miami's elected
h South #1733 15 officials. Restricting officials to a maximum of two terms, with no exceptions for time spent
Baysh 2 2025 out of office, would eliminate current workarounds and encourage new Leadership, thereby
ore Direct 1:37 rebuilding confidence in the government. Career politicians shouldn't be able to rotate in

As a 85 year old Mary BrickeLt Village property owner that has seen his property taxes
increase over 200% in the past seven years I have to ask why? The tax Appraisal Office
says it is because of real estate appreciation in my area based on Comps! This is only half
the story and you the council members catering to our bloated Miami Bureaucracy is the
other half. When are you going to take back control of Miami's budgetary process?? Over
$700,000.of pork has been identified as DEI initiatives for special interests. And yet the
basic needs of the community, road and sidewalk improvements, crime interdiction,traffic
control, etc go unnoticed! This tack of basic fiduciary responsibility cannot continue! The
heady days of special interest pandering must stop! We can't sustain to tax and spend as
evidenced by the Last administration . Community outrage is brewing and you can't see it !
You don't create the Cities budget the bureaucracy does that! They always want more
money and always come up with reasons why you should rubber stamp their self serving
recommendation. That has to stop. Simply Looking at this meeting agenda items it is
clearly evident that you are not in control but your staff is and the days of reduced taxes
and spending wilt take a taxpayer's revolt to bring in Line that basic needs come first and
all other " feel good projects " WiLt take a back seat to the true basic needs of this
community! Thank you for allowing this gray haired senior citizen to express his views in
hopes of sparking needed change YOU can bring about! Respectfully Newton C. KindLund
