No questions.

312
00:14:41,010 --> 00:14:44,590
OK, I have a couple of questions.

313
00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:41,210
Okay.

314
00:14:41,730 --> 00:14:44,570
I have a couple of questions.

315
00:14:44,570 --> 00:14:52,710
Has the actual housing element now been completed with all state reviews required?

316
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,620
We have been issued something called a condition.

317
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:11,940
General compliance by a city. Okay, very good. Thank you. And then I would appreciate a brief explanation on how this

318
00:15:11,940 --> 00:15:22,140
inner acts with these zone text amendments that will be coming, whether they're dependent on each other, the housing element report and the zone text amendment.

319
00:15:22,140 --> 00:15:38,920
amendments. Could you clarify, and I know that we're going to have to hear the zone text amendments in the future, but are they interdependent or can we just go ahead and press on with the housing element and in zone text amendments later?

320
00:15:40,950 --> 00:15:42,410
Thank you for the question.

321
00:15:43,650 --> 00:15:48,010
So we are working very closely with the City Attorney's Office on this one.

322
00:15:48,970 --> 00:15:53,850
Kristi, do you want to comment on the Zontext amendments for the housing element?

323
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,100
Yes, thank you so much a new.

324
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,560
This is Kristi Marie Lopez assisted city attorney for the city.

325
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:11,440
So under state law, the city is obligated to update its housing element and as part of that

326
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:17,140
obligation when the city meets that requirements that allows the city to be eligible for certain

327
00:16:17,140 --> 00:16:23,380
grant funding and all sorts of wonderful things, which is important as you might imagine

328
00:16:23,380 --> 00:16:23,880
to the city.

329
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,920
So the priority would be to adopt the housing element.

330
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:34,120
Once the housing element is adopted, that housing element has provisions in there that anticipate

331
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:44,100
future changes to our code. So the zone text amendments will reflect what is incorporated into

332
00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:49,940
the housing element, which will be, you know, it could be, and a new will better be able to

333
00:16:49,940 --> 00:16:54,840
better describe what the distinctions are, but if there's a general plan amendment or a zone

334
00:16:54,840 --> 00:17:01,260
map amendment, that would allow for housing in that particular area that is not currently allowed in,

335
00:17:01,260 --> 00:17:06,580
that will come to the commission in the future for its consideration at that time.

336
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:13,180
The staff will explain to you that this is part of the process that's required by the already adopted housing element.

337
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,560
But that is the how their relationship works.

338
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:26,320
They don't often happen at the same time, because the housing element update is a pretty large project to undertake.

339
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:32,800
And then as that gets adopted and certified by HCD,

340
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,600
we'll then come back with you with the Zone text amendments,

341
00:17:35,980 --> 00:17:39,940
which are necessary as a result of that newly adopted housing element.

342
00:17:42,850 --> 00:17:44,570
Okay, thank you so much for the explanation.

343
00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:48,710
Okay, Commissioner Cantrell has a question.

344
00:17:49,850 --> 00:17:51,850
I believe that during their last review,

345
00:17:52,270 --> 00:17:56,470
we had received a conditional compliance notice

346
00:17:56,470 --> 00:18:04,470
notice from the state, but that some additional work had to be done to the planned in order to

347
00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:14,610
finalize that. So, is it my understanding that some work has to be done in order to pull us

348
00:18:14,610 --> 00:18:20,890
into full compliance and that work will not be completed until sometime in January?

349
00:18:20,890 --> 00:18:21,930
I

350
00:18:25,030 --> 00:18:31,730
knew with respect to the housing element and its finalization, you would speak to that.

351
00:18:32,290 --> 00:18:37,130
The Zoom text amendments would typically come after the housing element has been finalized and adopted.

352
00:18:37,710 --> 00:18:41,930
So I'll let a new speak to any changes in the housing element since it was last before the commission.

353
00:18:43,290 --> 00:18:46,650
Yeah, thank you commissioner Ken Trump for that question.

354
00:18:47,370 --> 00:18:49,690
So I don't believe that is entirely true.

355
00:18:49,690 --> 00:18:53,670
We are conditionally compliant in applying that the

356
00:18:53,670 --> 00:18:57,330
minute this city adopts the housing element that makes us

357
00:18:57,330 --> 00:19:01,570
compliant with state law. So according to its city,

358
00:19:03,270 --> 00:19:06,490
they have pretty much said okay to our version of the housing

359
00:19:06,490 --> 00:19:08,850
element the way that it has been submitted after

360
00:19:08,850 --> 00:19:10,890
I believe three to four iterations.

361
00:19:14,340 --> 00:19:17,920
Okay, so while that's necessary then to be in

362
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:23,520
and quote full compliance is just to have the city council do one final review and a vote.

363
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:31,100
And that is correct. We adopted and then we file our secret documentation with this state that brings us into

364
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:31,920
full compliance.

365
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,700
And then the interim step is it comes to the planning commission first and then the council.

366
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,100
That's what's on the 6th of January.

367
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,200
Okay. Thank you. All right. Do we have any public comments on this

368
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,280
information item.

369
00:19:55,420 --> 00:20:02,680
No hands raised on Zoom and nobody in the queue in chambers. So we'll

370
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:08,400
consider this discussion complete on this information item and we will move on to the

371
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,460
Department report.

372
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:20,700
So this cycle of the Department report we do have a couple of new projects

373
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:24,580
that came in specifically on the housing front.

374
00:20:26,220 --> 00:20:34,400
We also do have a church, a CUP20502 is a major, CUP, the church is planning on expanding.

375
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:40,920
We do have a public hearing for that project scheduled on January 6th.

376
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:50,680
Another housing project we're looking into is an RV park, sorry, SPR 2517, cuttingage investment

377
00:20:50,680 --> 00:21:00,520
is also a 30 to 32 unit apartment complex. We did issue our first round of comments to the applicant

378
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,220
and we end this fate meeting with them this week to go over our comments.

379
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,100
Another one is a six unit

380
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:18,020
multi-family housing unit in between we do have a few minor SVRs that we did approve

381
00:21:18,020 --> 00:21:27,840
a notary abuse supply store and a thrift store and we also have the financial reports

382
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,960
from September of October and November for your review as part of the Department of

383
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,840
I'm happy to ask for any questions.

384
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:38,120
Thank you.

385
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:38,480
Commissioner.

386
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,580
Do you have any questions on the Department report?

387
00:21:45,550 --> 00:21:46,150
Commissioner Cantrell?

388
00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:47,190
No, I do not.

389
00:21:50,430 --> 00:21:52,530
I just had a general comment.

390
00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:59,870
This is a first department report that we've had in the last couple of months presented,

391
00:22:00,210 --> 00:22:01,710
because the September was our last time.

392
00:22:01,710 --> 00:22:06,570
And I just wanted to let the public know in case they haven't gone in and read the agenda.

393
00:22:07,310 --> 00:22:12,830
There has been a substantial increase in a number of projects coming into the planning department.

394
00:22:13,370 --> 00:22:19,190
And this thing doesn't even include all of the ministerial residential type things and that type of stuff.

395
00:22:19,950 --> 00:22:22,050
So that's a good thing for the city.

396
00:22:22,930 --> 00:22:25,430
And hopefully it will continue to progress.

397
00:22:26,730 --> 00:22:29,690
Any public comments on the Department reports?

398
00:22:30,550 --> 00:22:33,090
I have a Zoom hand up, Mayor Hawkins.

399
00:22:35,050 --> 00:22:37,090
Yes, I just had one question.

400
00:22:37,490 --> 00:22:44,770
I believe you had mentioned a list of grants that could be available once the housing element was adopted.

401
00:22:45,910 --> 00:22:47,690
One of you can provide me with that list.

402
00:22:47,930 --> 00:22:54,690
If you have it, if not understand, but I'd like to know what that list would be going forward.

403
00:22:54,690 --> 00:23:01,430
If it went, the council does, in fact, adopt the housing out.

404
00:23:01,890 --> 00:23:03,350
Thank you.

405
00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:03,870
Thank you.

406
00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:06,770
Anybody from in chamber?

407
00:23:08,790 --> 00:23:15,890
Because it's not in actual list of projects, we do have the planning recap on financial reports

408
00:23:15,890 --> 00:23:18,630
and I had one question on that.

409
00:23:18,630 --> 00:23:25,950
in the November portion because this this covered September October and November in the November

410
00:23:27,510 --> 00:23:31,110
listing there was an SPR major that

411
00:23:31,690 --> 00:23:39,810
was addressed and I was wondering what that was because the planning commission didn't see that or maybe it was

412
00:23:40,310 --> 00:23:45,590
for some reason considered ministerial I don't know. So what's a situation on that please?

413
00:23:45,590 --> 00:23:45,590
I

414
00:23:47,700 --> 00:23:51,060
believe this is for the housing,

415
00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:54,950
the SPR-2517.

416
00:23:56,410 --> 00:24:03,970
Well, no, this is on your planning recap with the totals, with the funding that you received.

417
00:24:04,730 --> 00:24:08,830
And there was one SPR major listed under new projects in.

418
00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:11,530
It doesn't have any number assigned to it or anything.

419
00:24:11,650 --> 00:24:13,550
It's just like there was one project.

420
00:24:14,310 --> 00:24:15,610
That's all at the information that's on there.

421
00:24:15,630 --> 00:24:16,690
That's why I'm asking a question.

422
00:24:18,850 --> 00:24:19,330
So,

423
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:28,920
if it has got to be one of the housing projects, either the 30 units or the six units,

424
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,860
those are the only two majors that we had in the last two months.

425
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:35,740
Okay, so is this something that's going to be coming up in the future then?

426
00:24:36,780 --> 00:24:37,740
Definitely yes.

427
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,140
Okay, very good.

428
00:24:39,140 --> 00:24:40,200
That answers my question.

429
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,120
We'll see it when it gets here.

430
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,460
Because they have to, this is their financial, so they can show how many projects they address

431
00:24:47,460 --> 00:24:51,480
and the amount of money they received for starting the project.

432
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,480
Um, all right.

433
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,000
Anything else for planning department, the second call from the public, if has anybody?

434
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,560
Mayor Hawkins, do you have your hand up again or okay, you're okay, you're okay, very good.

435
00:25:07,740 --> 00:25:09,220
You cleared it.

436
00:25:09,220 --> 00:25:11,140
All right.

437
00:25:13,540 --> 00:25:15,160
Next, Ron, the new business.

438
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:25,160
This is a hearing for the Core Civic Project.

439
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,480
Let me find my page that has that information.

440
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,240
Just bear with me when moment please.

441
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,560
I had it here.

442
00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:55,630
Yeah, I know that there was a, oh, here it is, or no, that's the housing element, projects,

443
00:25:57,650 --> 00:25:58,470
oh, here it is.

444
00:25:58,790 --> 00:26:01,450
Okay, found it. Sorry for the delay folks. Okay.

445
00:26:03,350 --> 00:26:09,770
This will be a hearing for on the course of operation of immigrant attention facility within the city.

446
00:26:10,690 --> 00:26:22,170
We will be conducting this, although it's a hearing, so we have a set criteria pretty similar to our regular criteria that we use for going through this.

447
00:26:22,650 --> 00:26:28,770
So, I have called the item that is in discussion, and could I get a staff presentation, please?

448
00:26:28,770 --> 00:26:29,410
Thank

449
00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:32,870
you, Chair.

450
00:26:33,970 --> 00:26:37,230
So staff received a site plan review application from

451
00:26:37,230 --> 00:26:44,870
course civic for the operation of a detention center at an existing facility within California city.

452
00:26:45,550 --> 00:26:54,090
The application is currently under administrative review and staff is evaluating it for compliance with applicable zoning land use and design standards.

453
00:26:55,070 --> 00:26:59,770
According to the California City Municipal Code, the type of application is ministerial,

454
00:26:59,770 --> 00:27:10,390
Meaning that city staff must approve the project if it needs all objectives requirements set forth within the city's code and regulations.

455
00:27:11,210 --> 00:27:15,590
A ministerial review does not involve discretion or policy judgment.

456
00:27:16,210 --> 00:27:21,770
The planning commission at this time is not a decision-making body for this ministerial SPR.

457
00:27:21,770 --> 00:27:38,670
Senate Bill 29 requires 180 day public hearing notice and two public meetings before a city and we are required to issue permits or building permits for the reuse of existing buildings.

458
00:27:38,670 --> 00:27:42,550
by a private corporation to detain non-citizens.

459
00:27:42,890 --> 00:27:45,530
We are required to comply with SB 29.

460
00:27:46,570 --> 00:27:49,930
And tonight's agenda is the second hearing

461
00:27:49,930 --> 00:27:53,250
where we receive public hearing public input.

462
00:27:53,430 --> 00:27:57,170
Sorry, and we provide transparency to the extent.

463
00:27:57,790 --> 00:28:00,670
The SBIR approval constitutes a permit

464
00:28:00,670 --> 00:28:03,590
for the building or reuse of existing buildings.

465
00:28:04,450 --> 00:28:06,670
Again, the planning commission at this time

466
00:28:06,670 --> 00:28:13,050
is not being asked to make any fine things, impose conditions or take any action on the

467
00:28:16,630 --> 00:28:23,350
SPR, we are not asking the commission to make a proposed permits entitlements. None of them

468
00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:29,250
have been issued at this time for this proposed use either. So staff continues to review the

469
00:28:29,250 --> 00:28:35,750
application and may anticipate that it may move forward to approval once compliant for this

470
00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:51,750
29, as sorry, SB 29 is established, our next steps within our departments would be to document the hearing, document the comments received and responses as part of the administrative record for

471
00:28:51,750 --> 00:29:01,330
S.P.R. on course civic, upon confirmation of compliance with S.B. 29, and

472
00:29:01,330 --> 00:29:06,890
applicable to municipal standards, staff may proceed with an administrative

473
00:29:06,890 --> 00:29:12,770
approval of the S.P.R. because it is ministerial in nature. We will provide any

474
00:29:12,770 --> 00:29:16,710
future updates to the planning commission and city council as they become

475
00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:45,150
available. At this time staff's recommendation is that we receive and file the report concerning the SB29 hearing and the status of the ministerial SBR submitted by course of it. Once again, no action is being asked from the commission at this time simply because the application is mirror and ministerial. This is a staff level decision given that there's compliance to the municipal code.

476
00:29:45,150 --> 00:29:47,070
I'm available for questions.

477
00:29:50,060 --> 00:29:52,660
Thank you so much for the staff update.

478
00:29:53,580 --> 00:29:57,780
Go to the commissioner's first. Does anybody have any comments before we start?

479
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:27,800
Okay, neither do I. So, we will move on to the next sequence is the public comment. This will be conducted just like our regular public comment, where comments are will be limited to three minutes, and the commission will receive the comments, but cannot engage in back and forth discussions with the public. And you already know we're not making any decisions tonight.

480
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:28,860
So,

481
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:41,400
I'm going to go ahead, let's start with Zoom tonight, because there's a few more people up there, we don't have that many people in the chamber.

482
00:30:41,980 --> 00:30:51,600
So, let's start with Zoom tonight. The first person up there with their hand up is MH. Would you please unmute and go ahead for your three minutes?

483
00:30:52,980 --> 00:31:11,980
And yes, good evening commissioners, my name is Marcella Hernandez, with the attention watch network where National Network of More Than 100 Organizations, advocating for immigrant rights with the focus on Indian immigrant attention since we know it is deadly and very violent to our communities.

484
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:32,680
Today, we are here to ask you to ask more questions about this permit process, it is our legal analysis that, of course, it is not applying for the right permit that they need to apply for a conditional use permit. This is something that they have applied for in the past in the other California city.

485
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:51,940
Please make sure you mute your microphones. It's waiting in and interfering with the public comment. Thank you very much.

486
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:10,560
Okay, thank you, interpreter. Okay. Okay. My time was passed. Yeah, Amh, you, you go ahead and continue, please.

487
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:28,680
Okay, thank you. And so we, yeah, we want to, it would be great to get a second analysis because we don't think we're applying for the right permit. Also, we are wondering why they have open and have been detaining more than 100 people.

488
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:37,320
people that are suffering a lot of abuse when the whole, it seems that our application hasn't been fully completed for review.

489
00:32:38,420 --> 00:32:46,100
And to end, I do want to read a testimony from a community member that has permum detained there.

490
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:51,420
She wants to remain anonymous, you know, given that that's against immigrant communities.

491
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:54,780
Right now, but one of our members also has a hotline.

492
00:32:54,780 --> 00:32:59,440
and they are serving hundreds of calls on the abuses that are happening there right now.

493
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:04,740
So here's a testimony. I have not felt my mother's embrace in over two months is

494
00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:10,920
our kidnapping by an undentified man. She is held at Corps Civic and California City

495
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:17,460
alongside other women of various ages, some as young as 20 and others as old as senior citizens

496
00:33:17,460 --> 00:33:22,740
and wheelchairs. She and her fellow community members have experienced a few make conditions.

497
00:33:22,740 --> 00:33:34,660
They are constantly cold and the building floods when there is a storm and tough bugs are narrow with no rail and has resulted in several woman falling and being sent to the clinic.

498
00:33:35,180 --> 00:33:42,040
Many can not see the doctor and suffer from unrelated to unrated various conditions.

499
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:49,620
They don't always have access to water and when they do a taste heavily of chemicals and they often add sugar packages to make it drinkable.

500
00:33:49,620 --> 00:33:57,000
This things and much more are being sober by several innocent lives who saw it out to this country and opportunity for the families.

501
00:33:57,620 --> 00:34:01,620
To treat another human as less because of their place of origin or to call them.

502
00:34:02,660 --> 00:34:04,120
Hashtag alien is inhumane.

503
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:09,120
I implore you to picture your mother, sister and grandmother in this conditions.

504
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,240
It is not the first time people call her having antagonizing this country.

505
00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:22,000
Do not be a bad person in a future history books course civic is illegally operating and people are suffering. Do not be an accessory

506
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:31,620
To their actions here are the voices of the people suffering and make the necessary changes within your powers. Okay, time is up. Thank you. Okay. Thank you

507
00:34:32,420 --> 00:34:34,200
Daniel you're next

508
00:34:37,780 --> 00:34:40,820
No, I go three and three

509
00:34:42,170 --> 00:34:45,490
Daniel you can unmute and speak on Zoom

510
00:34:56,070 --> 00:35:05,470
But, yes, so my name is Daniel, I worked for a organization for an immigrant population.

511
00:35:06,290 --> 00:35:12,110
And I just want to share a testimony of one of our clients who wish to remain anonymous.

512
00:35:14,130 --> 00:35:19,550
And this is one of our clients that was also recent recently.

513
00:35:19,550 --> 00:35:27,790
And he shared his testimony regarding what he had experienced while he was inside.

514
00:35:28,530 --> 00:35:34,710
I arrived at our Golden State annex around the 11 A.M. after spinning three days in the ice holding tank.

515
00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:38,950
We did not get to the dorm until 4 a.m. the next morning.

516
00:35:39,370 --> 00:35:43,010
During this time, our witness and man being denied his heart medicine.

517
00:35:43,010 --> 00:35:49,650
We were denitling water to drink, the detention center was built in, it did not have enough paid

518
00:35:49,650 --> 00:35:57,570
orders to clean, so unpaid detainee were required to volunteer to force to live in the

519
00:35:57,570 --> 00:36:03,910
unscennitarian environment. It also lacked sufficient clean supply, the chemical were overly

520
00:36:03,910 --> 00:36:11,450
with it, and we had to use a garbage can as the press of water. The risk of infection was very high.

521
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:28,060
Okay, thank you so much. Next on Zoom is RJ, please unmute and let us know.

522
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:30,420
Okay, thank you. Okay, thank you.

523
00:36:30,420 --> 00:36:31,120
Good evening, thank you.

524
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:32,720
I'm an organizer.

525
00:36:33,980 --> 00:36:35,500
With the dignity and attention coalition.

526
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:43,740
And our basically, and I'm here to share testimony from somebody who's basically in detention

527
00:36:43,740 --> 00:36:45,220
in California city at the moment.

528
00:36:45,220 --> 00:36:52,600
whose name is Leo, he was usually surprised that the doctors had messed up, they said my

529
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,400
doctors had messed up my veins when I went to the hospital.

530
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,220
I had a heart problem and a hernia.

531
00:37:00,460 --> 00:37:05,520
I was suffering from chest pains, but it took about 10 days for them to take me to the hospital.

532
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:07,780
I had a negative experience.

533
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,560
In the ambulance, I felt like my veins were being ripped out.

534
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:17,880
After that, I always feel tired and I feel cold and unusual and I started to lose feelings in my hands.

535
00:37:18,940 --> 00:37:27,420
When I told the doctor about this at California City, they started laughing at me and taking my claims and not taking my claims seriously.

536
00:37:28,460 --> 00:37:35,160
When I was taken to the hospital, the facility staff kept all the info like the MRI results and prescription info.

537
00:37:35,940 --> 00:37:40,560
I'm supposed to get a copy, but never receive a physical copy of my paperwork.

538
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:46,880
I was also supposed to get a check-up to two, but never did.

539
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:52,460
If anyone needs medical attention, they need to show, they need to throw themselves on the floor,

540
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,600
and act like you're dying, and not they'll not come to see you.

541
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:01,200
I don't want to be paralyzed or blind by the time I get out of here.

542
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:07,200
So basically this is a testimony from somebody who's in California City, who's suffering

543
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,680
gross medical negligence in California City.

544
00:38:09,940 --> 00:38:14,340
And it's for this reason we're here to basically ask you and basically please please

545
00:38:14,340 --> 00:38:18,440
please basically deny the permits and to close out the facility because it shouldn't be

546
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,620
operating especially since it's basically violating, you know, SB 29 and it's also

547
00:38:22,620 --> 00:38:25,040
valid and it's not as operating without the permits.

548
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,420
But that being said, thank you for your time and hope you guys make the right decision

549
00:38:30,260 --> 00:38:38,060
Okay. Thank you. Okay. We're going to go back in Chamber and we'll do three folks in Chamber and then we'll go back to Zoom. Okay. Please go ahead.

550
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:49,280
Good afternoon. I'm going to first read the comment from somebody that is currently attending California City and then I will make my own comment and they are residents of California City. Is that okay?

551
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,000
Well, if it hits in three minutes, go for it.

552
00:38:53,440 --> 00:39:02,800
Okay, so the first I said copy of the former complaints into the Department of Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

553
00:39:04,060 --> 00:39:13,280
And this is from the Havodilmer, and they would like to formally submit a complaint with Office of Civil Rights and Liberties regarding an incident that occurred to them on November 22nd,

554
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,640
involved in unconstitutional conditions of confinement,

555
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,180
touch walkeratmen, and hostile living conditions.

556
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,340
In violation of the aid of amendment,

557
00:39:21,820 --> 00:39:24,040
the alleged that they have interjected to a third

558
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,880
of constitutional conditions of confinement,

559
00:39:26,260 --> 00:39:28,180
and they are requesting that the EHS office

560
00:39:28,180 --> 00:39:30,300
for civil rights and civil liberties investigate

561
00:39:30,300 --> 00:39:33,720
on the allegations I made in their grievance

562
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:35,820
submitted to the California City Process Insider.

563
00:39:36,340 --> 00:39:38,900
They are providing this copy to make sure that their complaint

564
00:39:38,900 --> 00:39:41,700
is not lost misplaced or simply swept on their route.

565
00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:48,700
They have asked us to make aware of what is going on in the hostile condition of confinement in which the entertaining steps objected.

566
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,520
In the hopes that their voices help others find themselves in similar situations.

567
00:39:55,900 --> 00:39:59,740
Good evening, my name is Bertoy H and I am the deportation event.

568
00:40:00,260 --> 00:40:02,980
I will see your manager for the California immigrant justice alliance.

569
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:09,860
And I am here to urge you to stand with us in the community and stop course evicts on that operation in your city

570
00:40:09,860 --> 00:40:12,420
and the detention and criminalization of our communities.

571
00:40:13,060 --> 00:40:20,160
Course civic is operating the largest attention facility in California City without a valid business license or constitutional use permit.

572
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:28,520
Currently, there are 65,000 people in detention in the United States and 1% of those are depending on California City.

573
00:40:28,940 --> 00:40:32,700
And I'm asking you, is this a legacy that you want for yourselves and your communities?

574
00:40:32,700 --> 00:40:37,760
We know that the city has great leadership, and that has leadership that cares.

575
00:40:38,060 --> 00:40:43,820
It's evident that the residents want to see the city thrive, has the service, and we are

576
00:40:43,820 --> 00:40:45,760
here to urge you to leverage your power.

577
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:51,700
And enforce the California City's municipal codes and protect public safety by requiring the

578
00:40:52,380 --> 00:40:58,760
by requiring the course to be applied for the right constitutional use permit and the correct

579
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,420
permit for this type of business on the local laws.

580
00:41:01,420 --> 00:41:04,360
and to suspend operations and hold Corsibia accountable.

581
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:10,500
The city has a responsibility to leverage and the city has a responsibility and leverage

582
00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:13,420
to require Corsibia to apply for the appropriate permit.

583
00:41:13,900 --> 00:41:18,180
The city's informed Corsibia that he needs to apply for this permit in the case of

584
00:41:18,180 --> 00:41:22,420
conditional use permit, the city has discretion to deny a conditional use permit.

585
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,140
Any permit this facility has in the past do not apply here.

586
00:41:26,140 --> 00:41:32,300
The prior use was for a prison. Immigration process incentives are not prisons and cannot be ground

587
00:41:32,300 --> 00:41:43,020
Father into prior contacts. When the city considers any permits or licenses, it must follow the state last, like SB 29 and C, EQA. Thank you.

588
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:43,860
Thank you.

589
00:41:45,910 --> 00:41:46,130
Thank you.

590
00:41:46,130 --> 00:41:46,490
Okay, naturally.

591
00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:51,390
My name is Brian Zady with critical resistance.

592
00:41:51,390 --> 00:42:00,290
I'm also a student at UCLA, I'm calling to echo what was just said to urge the planning

593
00:42:00,290 --> 00:42:05,790
commission to apply the correct permit, the conditional use permit for this situation,

594
00:42:06,410 --> 00:42:09,870
and to suspend course civics operations, there are lots of reasons back in September,

595
00:42:10,110 --> 00:42:15,270
there are a hundred books who went on a sit-in to protest the deplorable conditions.

596
00:42:15,570 --> 00:42:20,950
There have been lots of testimony coming out on that, and I want to read one here to add to that.

597
00:42:21,710 --> 00:42:29,390
So this is an anonymous testimony from someone detained at which has to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation.

598
00:42:30,810 --> 00:42:38,190
Things have been very unprofessional inside due to mishandling of some things like medication and court dates being postponed,

599
00:42:38,630 --> 00:42:42,030
where people are detained inside for three to four months.

600
00:42:42,030 --> 00:42:46,690
During my court hearing online, there was a screen that was black.

601
00:42:47,630 --> 00:42:51,850
When it was supposed to show the judge and district attorney,

602
00:42:52,190 --> 00:42:55,850
I'm concerned that I'm not even going to a real court hearing,

603
00:42:56,290 --> 00:42:58,290
because I could not see the judge and DA.

604
00:42:59,090 --> 00:43:04,190
I don't know if this was a TV issue inside California City,

605
00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:07,690
or because it was a camera that was not working in the courts.

606
00:43:07,690 --> 00:43:12,150
and I'm concerned because I've never been to a court where they did things like this.

607
00:43:12,410 --> 00:43:17,290
In regards to medication, I went to CSI-Kiatras for my medication. I later found out that

608
00:43:17,290 --> 00:43:22,650
the psychiatrist didn't put in the right order for my medications. So I did not receive my

609
00:43:22,650 --> 00:43:27,370
psychiatric medication for days. I take psychiatric medication for my bipolar and schizophrenia.

610
00:43:28,250 --> 00:43:34,250
The medical care is irregular. Sometimes I get my medication and sometimes I do not.

611
00:43:34,250 --> 00:43:39,730
It has gotten to the point where it's been a couple of weeks and I don't get my education and the past

612
00:43:40,730 --> 00:43:45,790
It's mostly been without meds for five to six days the staff at the detention center

613
00:43:45,790 --> 00:43:51,490
Abuse their authority by sending you to the whole or to the solitary cell or people have blessed privileges

614
00:43:51,490 --> 00:43:58,910
For example, I know someone who has sent to the whole because someone was coming and this person didn't want to give up his bottom bunk

615
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:11,020
So, yeah, it's clear that the impacts on individual lives is really big at California City,

616
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:17,540
but also the scale of this is so big that this weather, this SPR minor permit applies.

617
00:44:17,780 --> 00:44:19,000
It seems really questionable.

618
00:44:19,300 --> 00:44:22,340
This is the largest attention center in California that we're talking about,

619
00:44:22,460 --> 00:44:26,780
2500 people are to be detained in this place.

620
00:44:29,460 --> 00:44:29,460
And,

621
00:44:32,990 --> 00:44:37,550
yeah, there's just a lot about the process that seems really unclear to me.

622
00:44:37,550 --> 00:44:51,450
As we 29, this is supposed to be the second hearing for that, but the team, the legal team that I've spoken with has said that this 180 days is supposed to be here before hearing like this before a planning commission hearing.

623
00:44:52,270 --> 00:44:54,490
So I'm urging looking into this.

624
00:44:54,510 --> 00:44:54,830
Thank you.

625
00:44:56,190 --> 00:44:57,250
Okay, next please.

626
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:18,040
Thank you, my name. All right. Thank you, my name is Sam Hartman. I'm a resident up to Hatchipi. One of the members of the community is very concerned about what's going on in California City.

627
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,820
I understand that George is trying to do a job and it's not an easy job.

628
00:45:24,820 --> 00:45:35,480
But what you're trying to allow happen, which is the opening of the Detention Center is wrong,

629
00:45:37,980 --> 00:45:40,000
Horse Civic is a criminal organization.

630
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:42,640
They are operating illegally.

631
00:45:44,660 --> 00:45:51,140
They are the Tainees that they get are often apprehended illegally.

632
00:45:51,900 --> 00:45:53,920
They're not given their rights.

633
00:45:55,100 --> 00:46:01,720
The proof of this is last week, they had a hearing in Congress where the head of the

634
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:07,620
DHS, ICE, was asked about veterans that had been picked up.

635
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:15,480
And those veterans, one of them having a purple heart, was deported to North or South Korea.

636
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:22,240
Now, that person had a legal contract to be able to stay in this country, at a green card.

637
00:46:23,020 --> 00:46:28,840
He was legal resident. He had done anything wrong. He just had the wrong color skin.

638
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:40,420
If you allow, of course, civic detention center to open your rubber stamping, that abuse of our rights.

639
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,940
America needs to stand up and stop this.

640
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:52,560
It's up to individuals at true level and your staff's level and the city council

641
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,680
levels to say, no, we're not going to do this.

642
00:46:55,980 --> 00:46:57,440
We're going to follow the law.

643
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,340
Of course, civic wants to open a detention center.

644
00:47:01,620 --> 00:47:07,860
Let them empty this out, pass all their permits and pass all their inspections.

645
00:47:07,860 --> 00:47:17,720
And then they can start talking about bringing people in and the people that come in, let them have their legal rights.

646
00:47:18,540 --> 00:47:26,780
You know, I want to say real quick that coming into this country illegally is equivalent to a parking ticket.

647
00:47:27,740 --> 00:47:36,740
It's not that serious of an issue, and yet over 25 people have died in this country in detention centers.

648
00:47:37,220 --> 00:47:45,860
It seems pretty harsh for a country to issue death sentences for a parking ticket, and if you want

649
00:47:45,860 --> 00:47:48,880
to be a part of that, go ahead and improve the permit.

650
00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:55,700
I don't want to be a part of it, and I will stand up and say, no, and I will continue

651
00:47:55,700 --> 00:47:56,260
to resist.

652
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:02,360
I will continue to speak out, because this is wrong, and you've got to find a way to stop it.

653
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:07,460
you've got to find a way to make it legal to stop it. I don't know all the ins and

654
00:48:07,460 --> 00:48:11,720
outs of the law, but I know this is wrong and I know right is right and wrong is wrong

655
00:48:11,720 --> 00:48:19,840
and this is wrong. Okay, thank you. Next to go back to Zoom, we'll do three more up there and then

656
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:28,560
come back in chamber. Okay, next up we have Liz and the sentient. Please unmute and you're three minutes

657
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:35,060
start. Thank you. Good evening, Planning Commission. My name is Liz Collins again, I'm with

658
00:48:35,060 --> 00:48:39,820
Billy Healthy Community's Kern. And tonight I'd like to share a test of the money from someone

659
00:48:39,820 --> 00:48:41,680
currently, the Tain and California City.

660
00:48:44,100 --> 00:48:47,260
Yeah. This human being was just a really anonymous

661
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:54,260
and this person has shared the following. I have been in intention for for two almost three months.

662
00:48:54,260 --> 00:49:00,380
The plumbing is not working, sinks in toilets are not working properly, the whole time I have been at the facility.

663
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:07,280
Every other day, they have to come to clear the plumbing from stopping, from stopping up so it's backed up for two days.

664
00:49:08,420 --> 00:49:12,320
The water here is really bad, the water tastes and smells and intense odor.

665
00:49:13,340 --> 00:49:15,640
They lock you down for any reason over here.

666
00:49:16,020 --> 00:49:19,300
Some people have a hard time getting medical attention or medications.

667
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,900
For me, I haven't had any problems but I see people having a hard time.

668
00:49:25,240 --> 00:49:29,520
being charged for your mail and calls difficulties and we'll give you your tracking number.

669
00:49:30,380 --> 00:49:34,460
The treat is not really human. There's a lot more stuff going on in here.

670
00:49:36,670 --> 00:49:41,990
That's really what I wanted to share with you today. This is somebody currently detained somebody who's really

671
00:49:41,990 --> 00:49:44,430
struggling someone who, again, wants to remain anonymous.

672
00:49:45,770 --> 00:49:48,210
And I just thank you for giving me the time to share that with you tonight.

673
00:49:49,050 --> 00:49:50,070
Okay, thank you.

674
00:49:50,070 --> 00:50:03,130
The next one, there's no name but he has or she has put video up and I can't see a name up there.

675
00:50:03,130 --> 00:50:04,770
What was it again?

676
00:50:06,970 --> 00:50:14,670
Nick's is good. Okay, very good. Hi. Yeah, Nick's Wilson here. Sorry.

677
00:50:15,830 --> 00:50:20,170
I'm second. Hi. Hi, my name is Nick's Wilson. I've lived in Ridgecrest for 10 years and I work in

678
00:50:20,170 --> 00:50:25,630
Mahave as an archeologist. I love my community and I want it to be a better place for everyone, especially the working

679
00:50:25,630 --> 00:50:34,510
class that keeps everything afloat. I love learning history and I enjoy learning about things that

680
00:50:34,510 --> 00:50:35,770
It was never in my curriculum.

681
00:50:36,430 --> 00:50:38,770
Most people here should know about man's and are.

682
00:50:39,030 --> 00:50:40,590
That's two hours from California City

683
00:50:40,590 --> 00:50:42,510
with a standing reminder of concentration,

684
00:50:42,770 --> 00:50:44,030
cance existing in California.

685
00:50:44,470 --> 00:50:47,210
When over 120,000 Japanese Americans

686
00:50:47,210 --> 00:50:49,010
were wrongly imprisoned by our government,

687
00:50:49,470 --> 00:50:52,070
this is not very different from what is being proposed right now.

688
00:50:52,390 --> 00:50:54,450
Even though what happened even though what happened

689
00:50:54,450 --> 00:50:57,010
at man's and are as soon as a blemish in our country's history,

690
00:50:57,610 --> 00:51:00,190
unfortunately our country has a history of treating people this way.

691
00:51:00,570 --> 00:51:01,590
We are on stolen land,

692
00:51:01,590 --> 00:51:06,970
be longing to the Kauai Su and to hone people, these indigenous people were forced into reservations

693
00:51:06,970 --> 00:51:08,210
with any remaining conditions.

694
00:51:08,690 --> 00:51:14,070
Today, I learned that the hone had their own trail of tears here on this land.

695
00:51:15,570 --> 00:51:17,770
Finally, I'm working class here in Ridge Press.

696
00:51:18,170 --> 00:51:20,330
I don't want the world to live in fear.

697
00:51:20,770 --> 00:51:24,750
I don't want people to be separated from their family to be enslaved in concentration camps.

698
00:51:25,450 --> 00:51:30,470
We as working class people, Mexican, white, immigrants, settler, and native.

699
00:51:30,470 --> 00:51:34,610
We have so much more in common than the CEO of course, civic division,

700
00:51:34,910 --> 00:51:38,370
Damon, can endure, and the resonates, the wonderful company.

701
00:51:38,930 --> 00:51:41,910
I want everyone to have food, housing, education, healthcare, et cetera.

702
00:51:42,270 --> 00:51:45,170
Why would I want members of my community to be tortured and start?

703
00:51:45,490 --> 00:51:47,170
Because it's profitable for course, civic.

704
00:51:47,590 --> 00:51:50,390
On top of that, people who are interested, you know, want to lose our water rights

705
00:51:51,050 --> 00:51:52,390
for this ice-present.

706
00:51:52,870 --> 00:51:57,140
When analyzed, it becomes clear that Nansinar and Native American genocide and ice are not

707
00:51:57,140 --> 00:52:01,960
and American history, they paint an ugly image of the true nature of policing, colonialism,

708
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,320
and white supremacy. These institutions oppress us. They hurt the working class.

709
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:10,500
They tear families apart for corporate profit. I'm white, and I was born and raised in the US,

710
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:14,640
but I will not be free as long as other humans are enslaved. We are one human population.

711
00:52:16,500 --> 00:52:23,240
I also did not know that the prison had already opened illegally. There's the pure irony of this prison here

712
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:25,240
to arrest people who are quote unquote illegal

713
00:52:25,240 --> 00:52:27,400
when this entire prison isn't even legal,

714
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:29,920
it's very upsetting.

715
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,700
Anyone in favor of this new slave city concentration camp,

716
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:34,700
which is what will happen,

717
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,960
and you can clearly hear these are inhumane conditions,

718
00:52:37,380 --> 00:52:38,860
and that's what happens in prisons,

719
00:52:39,460 --> 00:52:40,420
in concentration camps.

720
00:52:40,980 --> 00:52:43,780
Anyone who's with this should be ashamed of themselves.

721
00:52:44,220 --> 00:52:47,820
Please tap the day you deserve a abolishized landback

722
00:52:47,820 --> 00:52:48,460
for you Palestine.

723
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:49,600
Thank you.

724
00:52:50,540 --> 00:52:54,660
Thank you. Next one is Pat Foley.

725
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:08,220
Yeah, it's good evening. Firstly, let's not ignore Colton Dillard's use of a racial slur at the beginning of this meeting before he was voted for the Zoom.

726
00:53:08,780 --> 00:53:12,360
Thank you for avoiding him so quickly, so he couldn't continue.

727
00:53:14,020 --> 00:53:22,300
I am with the mutual aid immigration network and we have taken calls from dozens of people being held at the course of

728
00:53:22,300 --> 00:53:28,500
California City. Maybe you don't believe that the conditions being reported to you or

729
00:53:28,500 --> 00:53:34,120
as bad as we say. Maybe you don't care if people that are being called criminals are treated badly.

730
00:53:35,620 --> 00:53:42,740
But the Kato Institute has reported their data has tracked the arrests between January and the end of July

731
00:53:42,740 --> 00:53:48,800
and ISIS conducted over 16,000 street arrest of immigrants who had no criminal convictions,

732
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,380
no charges, no removal orders.

733
00:53:51,980 --> 00:53:54,820
Their data tracks the arrest that do not include anyone

734
00:53:54,820 --> 00:53:58,360
who is getting custody of any criminal justice agency.

735
00:53:59,140 --> 00:54:02,480
Tom Homeman is quoted as saying ICE and Border Patrol

736
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,940
are detaining people, quote, based on the location,

737
00:54:06,460 --> 00:54:08,800
their occupation, their physical appearance,

738
00:54:09,420 --> 00:54:12,680
their actions like if the person walks away on quote.

739
00:54:13,260 --> 00:54:15,220
ICE agents don't know the names of people

740
00:54:15,220 --> 00:54:16,540
they're approaching on the street.

741
00:54:16,540 --> 00:54:21,600
They are not targeting known criminals, they are racially profiling and targeting people

742
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,420
biggest on the color of their skin or what language they are speaking.

743
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:32,060
These arrest of immigrants or US citizens at work or on the street are the result of a

744
00:54:32,060 --> 00:54:35,600
cruel quota system put in place by the federal government.

745
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:40,740
So the people being detained are not criminals, they are hardworking family members that are

746
00:54:40,740 --> 00:54:45,120
being treated as criminals, except they are not given their due process rights.

747
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:51,500
we are all entitled to. The City Attorney and the City Council members take an oath to uphold

748
00:54:51,500 --> 00:54:57,100
the US Constitution. I don't know if you take the same oath, but I would hope that all of us

749
00:54:57,100 --> 00:55:04,480
as Americans would care about basic constitutional rights being upheld. Anything less is complicity.

750
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:11,600
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. I am pleading with you

751
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,660
to join us in resisting the immoral detention facility.

752
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,880
You can throw up your hands and say, not my job.

753
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:20,620
You can throw up your hands and say,

754
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,500
there's nothing I can do as an individual,

755
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:24,080
but that is not true.

756
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:25,660
You can stand with us.

757
00:55:25,860 --> 00:55:29,060
You can find ways to resist this happening in your community.

758
00:55:29,460 --> 00:55:31,680
You can go public with your opinions,

759
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,420
but you can't pretend it isn't happening

760
00:55:34,420 --> 00:55:35,800
and doesn't affect you.

761
00:55:36,020 --> 00:55:39,120
We ask the two to join us and require a core civic

762
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:43,220
to apply for a CUP and to suspend their operation.

763
00:55:43,820 --> 00:55:45,460
Thank you.

764
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:46,480
Thank you.

765
00:55:47,140 --> 00:55:51,780
We'll return to the chamber for folks that would like to speak here.

766
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:52,960
Next, please.

767
00:55:55,300 --> 00:55:58,980
My name is Nisha and I am with the Dolores Weather Foundation.

768
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:04,980
I want to read a testimony from someone who is currently being held in California City

769
00:56:04,980 --> 00:56:06,600
in the ice detention facility.

770
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:14,600
And you said, while I was that golden annex, I developed a large access, the size of a tennis ball on one of my glutes.

771
00:56:15,100 --> 00:56:18,920
I asked for medical help and was given a patch to cover the absets.

772
00:56:19,180 --> 00:56:25,540
Before, during and after transport from GSA to California City, the Teaching Facility,

773
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:32,860
on September 4, 2025, I was forced to sit for 10 hours, mostly waiting around to be processed.

774
00:56:32,860 --> 00:56:38,260
And it was during that time that the absets burst and it was bleeding and I was bleeding everywhere

775
00:56:38,260 --> 00:56:43,260
I developed three more absets almost immediately. One on my left blue

776
00:56:43,260 --> 00:56:50,930
On my inner thigh and on my right leg the infection made me have chills fever sweating and immense pain

777
00:56:51,380 --> 00:56:58,260
I've asked for help multiple times during the intake, but was asked for only for my personal information

778
00:56:58,260 --> 00:57:01,060
When I when I finally saw the nurse

779
00:57:01,060 --> 00:57:16,120
I showed her the blood and the infected area and the nurse told me that they didn't have the supplies to clean my infected skin and I would and I would have to wait at least two days to see a doctor six weeks

780
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:23,960
and I didn't see a doctor. Finally I saw nurse during that process the guards began to

781
00:57:24,620 --> 00:57:33,020
do the tiny way, the tiny count and I had the nurse to take my vitals. It was the only

782
00:57:33,020 --> 00:57:38,620
thing that she could do at the time. It wasn't until two months after I arrived at California

783
00:57:38,620 --> 00:57:44,820
city that I finally was given an antibody. But the wound was actually never checked out or treated.

784
00:57:44,820 --> 00:57:47,460
The antibiotics did help fight the infection.

785
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:52,320
I continue to develop abscess throughout my body,

786
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,880
including on my knees, inside my nose,

787
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:56,740
and they bleed and are very painful.

788
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,160
Since the Ravana California City,

789
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,920
I have asked multiple guards for medical assistance

790
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:03,700
about 10 to 12 times.

791
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,240
I have eight documented instances where I've asked

792
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,120
for medical aid and was denied.

793
00:58:09,460 --> 00:58:12,260
They eventually took blood work, took an X-ray,

794
00:58:12,260 --> 00:58:16,040
And the chest X-ray because they thought that I may have tuberculosis.

795
00:58:16,580 --> 00:58:21,260
When I acquired a biomarker, I was told that if the doctor didn't ask to see me, that I was fine.

796
00:58:21,620 --> 00:58:23,120
I still never got my results.

797
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:29,220
I have developed severe itch and through all my body, and I have to use the Comps to scratch my leg.

798
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:35,120
It's very painful, and I feel like the itch and it's similar to when you get chickenpox, but I don't have chickenpox.

799
00:58:35,820 --> 00:58:39,760
This has taken a psychological toll on me.

800
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:49,220
It feels important to mention that at the times when me and other detainees ask for medical care,

801
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:54,020
they are taken to the medical area, but forced to sit in way. Sometimes for hours,

802
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,860
only to be told that the doctor won't be able to beat him.

803
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,840
Okay, thank you. Next, please.

804
00:59:04,330 --> 00:59:09,790
My name is Marcelo Diggie. Anyone who wears a sheep skin and calls himself a Christian,

805
00:59:09,790 --> 00:59:17,370
A support to keep this concentration camp open and active would be the same to turn a blind eye if Jesus himself were to be here today

806
00:59:17,370 --> 00:59:20,570
You would not bat an eye if he died in a nice custody

807
00:59:20,570 --> 00:59:28,850
You are the evil among us all immigrant communities are living in fear and all Americans see to stand up for it

808
00:59:28,850 --> 00:59:34,530
To be a fair and do process being undocumented is not a criminal offense, but a civil one

809
00:59:35,090 --> 00:59:39,550
This so-called detention center has the beginning of concentration camp atrocities to come

810
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:46,230
There have already been two deaths that have been reported and many more to come if we don't take action now and close this place down.

811
00:59:46,730 --> 00:59:56,930
The people that are being kidnapped off the streets are being held in squalor and inhumane conditions where reports of being a women being raped and people not getting medical attention were needed.

812
00:59:57,670 --> 00:59:59,210
Ice thugs are criminals.

813
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,860
By masks, with a false sense of authority, with no concern for human treatment, and they are emotionally, mentally, and physically torturing

814
01:00:07,860 --> 01:00:14,280
our neighbors, our friends, and our families. As far as legalities go, instead, I want to

815
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:19,080
address demand that course civic apply for a permit to conduct torture chambers paid by the

816
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:25,080
American tax dollars. Close this concentration camp down now, or those who support it, we'll have to answer

817
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,340
for their crimes when just nightmare is over.

818
01:00:27,860 --> 01:00:28,520
Thank you.

819
01:00:28,580 --> 01:00:29,040
Thank you.

820
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:30,260
Okay, next, please.

821
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,100
Hi, my name's Katie Liferon.

822
01:00:44,990 --> 01:00:48,330
It seems like all this is their ammonium to me.

823
01:00:48,650 --> 01:00:50,310
Corsid Vick's already open.

824
01:00:50,930 --> 01:00:51,830
They've opened this place.

825
01:00:52,210 --> 01:00:53,690
It's inside of prisons, they're operating.

826
01:00:54,550 --> 01:00:56,250
You guys are holding these meetings now

827
01:00:56,250 --> 01:00:59,170
after the fact that they're operating illegally

828
01:00:59,170 --> 01:01:00,730
without a permit without business license.

829
01:01:00,850 --> 01:01:01,910
They have people inside.

830
01:01:04,110 --> 01:01:07,350
We can keep telling you how bad it is.

831
01:01:07,350 --> 01:01:10,790
And you'll sit there, of motionless, I've watched it.

832
01:01:10,870 --> 01:01:14,270
I've been everywhere from LA to California City.

833
01:01:14,270 --> 01:01:26,510
All year begging people, sitting on a diet, people in power, begging you to do the right thing, begging you to have a heart to speak to the humanity inside of you.

834
01:01:26,770 --> 01:01:30,090
And you can sit there and be like, I'm powerless to have no power, it's not my job.

835
01:01:30,690 --> 01:01:36,330
And I don't know whose job it is, because I turn on the TV and apparently it's not Congress's job.

836
01:01:36,330 --> 01:01:45,970
I turn on the TV it's just it's nobody's job but you guys are sitting there and you can do something just even if it's fucking symbolic just don't issue the permit they're already there

837
01:01:45,970 --> 01:01:51,570
They're already they're gonna operate legally. They're not leaving. We know that. It's just don't issue the permit whoever's job it is

838
01:01:51,570 --> 01:01:56,330
I don't know who is it it because no one will tell us just don't issue the permit all right

839
01:01:56,330 --> 01:02:00,170
Just symbolically don't do that because by following through

840
01:02:01,330 --> 01:02:02,970
You say it's fine

841
01:02:04,070 --> 01:02:10,230
Everybody who just allows this, you know what's happening in there, and you know what the plan is you do.

842
01:02:10,870 --> 01:02:14,490
And so that tells me one of two things. Either you just don't care.

843
01:02:15,450 --> 01:02:19,170
What's happening to people in there? Or you're fine with it.

844
01:02:19,570 --> 01:02:22,210
Because those are the only two options if you don't do anything.

845
01:02:23,570 --> 01:02:27,530
You do have power. You have some sort of power that this town is given you.

846
01:02:27,530 --> 01:02:40,870
Okay? If you wanted, this entire town, the police, you could go to that prison, surround it with your police force, everybody, and say, not in our town, you could kick them out, but nobody has done that.

847
01:02:41,250 --> 01:02:46,430
I have seen no pushback, nobody has released the public records, we know that that is not up to code.

848
01:02:46,810 --> 01:02:51,870
We don't need the testimonies that everybody has given over the last month. We know how bad it is.

849
01:02:51,870 --> 01:02:57,410
actually we don't because what we're hearing I guarantee you I promise you it is so much worse

850
01:02:57,410 --> 01:03:03,350
it is so much worse. I have talked to people who have been in there. I've spoken to lawyers who have

851
01:03:03,350 --> 01:03:08,490
clients in there. You have no idea what these people are going through and you are complicit because

852
01:03:08,490 --> 01:03:12,810
you are in this position whether you like it or not it might not be fair but you are in this position

853
01:03:12,810 --> 01:03:17,850
and you do have power and to do nothing is to allow it and one day people are going to look back

854
01:03:17,850 --> 01:03:19,390
because whether we like it or not,

855
01:03:19,510 --> 01:03:21,370
this is a moment in American history.

856
01:03:21,850 --> 01:03:23,410
And this is how we're going to be remembered,

857
01:03:23,990 --> 01:03:26,690
the same way Auschwitz, DACA, all of them.

858
01:03:26,910 --> 01:03:28,970
People are going to look back at what is happening in America

859
01:03:28,970 --> 01:03:31,170
right now, and they might not remember your names,

860
01:03:31,730 --> 01:03:33,290
but they will remember who will allow it.

861
01:03:33,730 --> 01:03:35,530
They will remember the towns, they will remember

862
01:03:35,530 --> 01:03:38,550
the names of the cities, whatever we end up calling it,

863
01:03:38,550 --> 01:03:39,430
and you will be responsible.

864
01:03:40,290 --> 01:03:41,090
Thank you.

865
01:03:41,810 --> 01:03:43,230
We're going to go back to Zoom.

866
01:03:45,170 --> 01:03:47,710
Mr. Nick's Wilson, could you lower your hand

867
01:03:47,710 --> 01:03:50,610
Please, we'll clean up our board to help us keep track better

868
01:03:50,610 --> 01:03:52,030
on to some, thank you so much.

869
01:03:52,790 --> 01:03:54,330
Next is Olivia.

870
01:03:55,970 --> 01:03:57,250
On to Zoom.

871
01:03:58,370 --> 01:03:59,070
Good evening.

872
01:03:59,890 --> 01:04:02,950
My name is Olivia with California and is United for Responsible

873
01:04:02,950 --> 01:04:06,370
budget, for a coalition of over a hundred organizations

874
01:04:06,370 --> 01:04:08,710
working to reduce the harms of incarceration

875
01:04:09,370 --> 01:04:11,790
and invest in community-based services.

876
01:04:13,250 --> 01:04:16,290
As local leaders, you have the power to undo

877
01:04:16,290 --> 01:04:20,210
the several misconceptions we've even heard tonight around the city,

878
01:04:20,310 --> 01:04:24,770
supposing lack of ability to do something to stop harm in your immediate community.

879
01:04:25,590 --> 01:04:30,470
You have the power to enforce local laws by requiring that course civic apply for a conditional

880
01:04:30,470 --> 01:04:37,610
use permit and suspend operations and hold course civic accountable. Additionally, we have heard

881
01:04:37,610 --> 01:04:43,370
throughout the several her perfect testimony shared here tonight that even in course

882
01:04:43,370 --> 01:04:57,430
of a short time being open and given these testimony, there seems to be a lot of issues with the infrastructure of the building and I'm wondering if that's also something that has a planning commission that you could look into.

883
01:04:57,950 --> 01:05:05,110
This seems like an infrastructure seems like an urgent issue with the facility worth looking into as well.

884
01:05:05,110 --> 01:05:15,010
And also as others have said, despite SB 29, the lack of conditional use permit and the application process the city planner named earlier, not being completed.

885
01:05:15,610 --> 01:05:19,810
I'm confused as to why Corsidvic is even open it in the first place.

886
01:05:20,330 --> 01:05:33,710
It's opening just over the past few months has already caused harm and abuse to so many detained people inside, which I guess is unsurprising given detention centers and Corsidvic's track record of abuse and neglect and deaths,

887
01:05:33,710 --> 01:05:37,790
which we will probably shared for months now.

888
01:05:39,110 --> 01:05:41,470
And even in the facilities where you're time being open,

889
01:05:41,610 --> 01:05:43,930
detained people, attorneys and advocates continue

890
01:05:43,930 --> 01:05:45,690
to report deplorable conditions,

891
01:05:45,950 --> 01:05:47,250
which is led to more than a hundred

892
01:05:47,250 --> 01:05:50,710
of detained people, staging, sitting and refusing meal

893
01:05:50,710 --> 01:05:51,550
and September.

894
01:05:52,630 --> 01:05:55,150
These strikers were responded to with the tally

895
01:05:55,150 --> 01:05:58,890
further retaliation and more punitive punishment.

896
01:06:00,230 --> 01:06:02,290
So with that, please leverage your power

897
01:06:02,290 --> 01:06:05,730
and enforce California City's municipal codes.

898
01:06:06,390 --> 01:06:10,610
This really is in the best interest of public safety and it's in your power to do this.

899
01:06:11,010 --> 01:06:11,890
Thanks for your time.

900
01:06:12,490 --> 01:06:18,900
Thank you. Next is a person with a tan shirt on. I can't read the name

901
01:06:19,890 --> 01:06:24,150
and you have your video up so I can see you.

902
01:06:24,210 --> 01:06:27,210
That looks like you're leaning forward. Okay, please go ahead.

903
01:06:28,940 --> 01:06:36,240
Good evening, planning commission, my brother-in-law is detained at California City Detention Center.

904
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:43,740
I'm a San Francisco resident, and I'm here to oppose the use of this facility as a detention center by Khor Civic.

905
01:06:45,420 --> 01:06:50,420
About a month ago, my sister and her husband went to their routine green card interview in San Francisco.

906
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:55,280
The initial part of their application had been approved by USCIS.

907
01:06:56,140 --> 01:07:01,880
I used to tame my brother in law during this interview and he remains inside California City today.

908
01:07:03,060 --> 01:07:06,900
It's impossible to put into words the nightmare this has been for our family.

909
01:07:07,740 --> 01:07:10,700
It took over 24 hours just to find out where he was.

910
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,780
And when we learned it was California City, we were devastated.

911
01:07:14,700 --> 01:07:18,720
We found articles and lawsuits calling this place hell on Earth.

912
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:25,700
My brother-in-law is navigating an immigration civil offense, not a criminal offense.

913
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,520
Housing him and a former prison is wrong and inhumane.

914
01:07:30,660 --> 01:07:35,500
My sister is not able to drive because she's disabled and there's no public transportation

915
01:07:35,500 --> 01:07:39,560
to this facility and she cannot easily visit her husband.

916
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:46,420
My nephew is six months old and his first Thanksgiving was spent traveling seven hours

917
01:07:46,420 --> 01:07:50,740
through the Mahave Desert to play Peacaboo with his father behind Plexiglas.

918
01:07:51,700 --> 01:07:57,060
This is my nephew's life story now and my brother-in-law is missing his son's most precious

919
01:07:57,060 --> 01:08:04,500
bonding and developmental milestones. Not to mention the scars this will leave and the recovery will

920
01:08:04,500 --> 01:08:10,460
take when he's home. Children should never be separated from their parents and there are countless

921
01:08:10,460 --> 01:08:14,280
studies on early childhood trauma and its life long impacts.

922
01:08:15,740 --> 01:08:19,440
This is intergenerational trauma being created right now.

923
01:08:21,710 --> 01:08:24,870
As much of a nightmare as this has been for my family.

924
01:08:25,330 --> 01:08:30,590
For us, this is just a small window into the horror for families who face language barriers

925
01:08:30,590 --> 01:08:34,010
who are detained for many months or years.

926
01:08:34,570 --> 01:08:39,350
For families without lawyers or resources to navigate these complex systems.

927
01:08:40,010 --> 01:08:47,150
the terror and the unknown. Your father, your brother, your mother, your sister, your daughter

928
01:08:47,150 --> 01:08:53,350
kept in a place known to be hell on earth. Is this what you want your city to be known for?

929
01:08:54,590 --> 01:08:59,610
This facility should never be used to house human beings. Thank you.

930
01:09:00,450 --> 01:09:07,930
Okay, thank you. Next one is fellow, you are of your video on, you have a white shirt on

931
01:09:07,930 --> 01:09:16,050
And I think it is better, maybe a J in the title of there. It's hard to see it with our lighting in here.

932
01:09:16,370 --> 01:09:19,370
You're leaning forward, so yeah, please go.

933
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:26,060
You must not be there.

934
01:09:26,060 --> 01:09:26,840
There you go.

935
01:09:28,180 --> 01:09:32,240
Thank you. My name is Jonathan Montes Diaz.

936
01:09:33,540 --> 01:09:41,700
And I've experienced firsthand the harsh values of immigration detention, spending two and a half years in detention,

937
01:09:41,700 --> 01:09:49,100
including three-and-a-half in California City, somebody actually spoke, they made a comment.

938
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:59,720
The earlier testimonies, I was the one that was taken to administrative segregation for

939
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:10,100
not moving from books, and I would talk about the reason why later, my experience has given me

940
01:10:10,100 --> 01:10:17,880
unique perspective on the needs for reform and the importance of prioritizing human dignity.

941
01:10:18,780 --> 01:10:24,600
I'm here today to show, you know, to show my story and advocate for change in California City.

942
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:30,940
Since the opening, you know, that they did without proper permits, you know, that they weren't even ready.

943
01:10:31,980 --> 01:10:38,500
They were understaffed and these led to a lot of the issues that are going on.

944
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:49,040
You know, I experienced significant delay to be attentive, and then when being attended in that regard healthcare.

945
01:10:54,250 --> 01:11:06,330
I was dealing with a hand injury that happened at a period of facility, and despite trying to get medical attention, I faced delays and misunderstandings and even fell ignored by staff.

946
01:11:06,330 --> 01:11:12,650
I tried to advocate for myself and others and found the complaint, but it didn't make any changes.

947
01:11:16,420 --> 01:11:22,620
A lot of this is a bureaucratic issue, but we won't get into that.

948
01:11:22,820 --> 01:11:30,740
The next issues that we were experiencing was the treatment that we suffered from staff.

949
01:11:30,740 --> 01:11:38,180
And that goes from officers, free staff, nurses, doctors, and administration.

950
01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:48,160
I have personally been involved and have documented situations where all of the both have been disrespectful and confrontational.

951
01:11:49,740 --> 01:11:53,120
When you try to speak up with it,

952
01:11:55,390 --> 01:12:02,950
you try to speak up about the complaints get twisted and just to get twisted to justify their actions.

953
01:12:03,810 --> 01:12:09,530
It's like the system is more focused on protecting itself than our treating people with dignity and respect.

954
01:12:10,730 --> 01:12:17,810
The next is retaliation that have experienced retaliation after speaking out and is particularly

955
01:12:17,810 --> 01:12:25,410
frustrating when there are people in those higher positions that user training and experience

956
01:12:25,930 --> 01:12:31,470
to find ways to plan it for people for exercising the right to report concerns, they are

957
01:12:31,470 --> 01:12:33,710
trying to cite it and intimidate us.

958
01:12:33,870 --> 01:12:34,030
Okay.

959
01:12:34,110 --> 01:12:36,230
My request is to top permits.

960
01:12:36,670 --> 01:12:36,870
Thank you.

961
01:12:37,250 --> 01:12:37,370
Okay.

962
01:12:37,370 --> 01:12:37,990
Thank you.

963
01:12:38,490 --> 01:12:38,670
Okay.

964
01:12:38,790 --> 01:12:39,870
We'll go back in Chamber.

965
01:12:40,310 --> 01:12:43,570
That's three people on Zoom and first person, please.

966
01:12:44,630 --> 01:12:44,970
Hey.

967
01:12:45,310 --> 01:12:45,890
I'm Gabe.

968
01:12:47,410 --> 01:12:51,610
I don't know the last time you had people sobbing in a planning commission meeting.

969
01:12:52,050 --> 01:12:55,770
I think, you know, people have said that you guys have power.

970
01:12:56,370 --> 01:12:56,970
I don't agree.

971
01:12:57,290 --> 01:12:59,690
I think you're in way over your heads.

972
01:12:59,730 --> 01:13:04,030
I don't think you anticipated this happening in this little city.

973
01:13:04,030 --> 01:13:12,810
I think that it's probably true when a lot of you say that there's not really anything you can do.

974
01:13:13,610 --> 01:13:23,030
And I think that one of the biggest virtues that someone could have is vulnerability and admitting when you don't know what to do

975
01:13:23,030 --> 01:13:32,110
or when you don't know what's wrong and I've never seen more organizations in but not just people here and people on Zoom

976
01:13:32,110 --> 01:13:39,710
for a planning commission meeting in a city of almost 13,000 people, but there's organizations

977
01:13:39,710 --> 01:13:44,470
too that are here, that are represented, a lot of people that came up and spoke are from

978
01:13:44,470 --> 01:13:51,670
organizations. And so while you might not have power, there seems to be a community here that

979
01:13:51,670 --> 01:13:58,230
wants to help, that wants you, if you think, I don't know what to do. I did not anticipate a concentration

980
01:13:58,230 --> 01:14:03,130
can't be my town. I just kind of signed up for the Planning Commission. I didn't. I thought I would be

981
01:14:03,130 --> 01:14:08,870
maybe like saying, hey, this Domino's could be here. I don't know. But there's a group. There's

982
01:14:08,870 --> 01:14:14,870
all these people that want to help and that if you have questions or if you want more information

983
01:14:14,870 --> 01:14:21,890
or if you're wondering, hey, I had this idea of maybe we could stop it this way. What do you guys think?

984
01:14:21,890 --> 01:14:27,870
If no one's mad at you, like everyone's here, and I think that it's a resource, that instead

985
01:14:27,870 --> 01:14:33,970
of being adversaries, there's an openness, at least on my end, probably on everyone's end,

986
01:14:34,370 --> 01:14:40,190
to figure out some way to do something where it's not just, because I understand it's

987
01:14:40,190 --> 01:14:51,870
a lot coming at you, and that it seems adversarial, and I just want to say, you know, I don't

988
01:14:51,870 --> 01:14:58,450
say that that's what's happening or just tacitly sort of be like, what do you guys think? Okay, thanks.

989
01:14:58,810 --> 01:14:59,650
Okay, thank you.

990
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,440
Okay, next please.

991
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:32,220
Hello, my name is Alex Andrew Barron, and while we may not bed the pleasure of meeting before now, mark my word, you will see me at every one of your meetings until we reach a resolution in this matter. You can ask city council that when I give my word, I stand by it. Though I live in Los Angeles, I will continue, doggyly, to keep coming up here, making the two-hour drive, spending money and time away from my children as a single mother, because I believe that my neighbors and friends would do so.

992
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:39,240
the same for me. Now I drove out to the detention center. It's less than 7 miles from where

993
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:47,700
I'm standing right now. And regardless of where we are politically ideologically, we are

994
01:15:47,700 --> 01:15:55,080
all humans. We came from another. We came from a father and we belong to our community members.

995
01:15:55,900 --> 01:16:01,380
So what I'm going to ask you to do is a very basic thing. I'm going to want you to do what

996
01:16:01,380 --> 01:16:06,580
would tell your kids to do and what your mothers and fathers raised you to do, which is if you

997
01:16:06,580 --> 01:16:12,440
don't have a solution as somebody else, if you can't fix the problem, step aside and let other

998
01:16:12,440 --> 01:16:20,560
people do so, do not die on this hill of pride. This is a very, very sacred ticket that you have been

999
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:28,840
given this moment, this time is going to define your legacy. Your names will be Wikipedia. And what

1000
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:33,580
You do hear, will be what you're known for, more than to your friends and families, more

1001
01:16:33,580 --> 01:16:36,080
than to your grandkids because the internet lives forever.

1002
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:43,560
And I'm going to protect you with love, from you messing around with the legacy that thousands

1003
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:47,000
of literal people have died for you to have this chance to build.

1004
01:16:47,700 --> 01:16:49,620
You will not go down in history.

1005
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:57,040
As messing around, you will go down as the people who said, no, it may cost me my political

1006
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:03,220
career, but no, because if not, this will become the man's in our, no, we maintain our

1007
01:17:03,220 --> 01:17:10,920
contact, this will be the man's in our of your generation. I know, I know, especially that you

1008
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:19,220
were not raised to weaken at the thought of a fight for justice or dignity. I know that because

1009
01:17:19,220 --> 01:17:30,080
see you here as a representative of us. All of us, we are on the same team. The people in the

1010
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:36,280
detention center are on our team, even the people holding them prisoner. Because at the end of the

1011
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:44,620
day, it is going to be you, somebody you love. Hey, Rosent! We can do no icons but I can get much louder.

1012
01:17:44,620 --> 01:17:47,860
Thank you, sir. So we are going to find a solution.

1013
01:17:49,820 --> 01:17:51,120
We're going to find one together.

1014
01:17:51,940 --> 01:17:55,880
We're going to find one together or you will undoubtedly choose

1015
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:57,480
to regret ignoring me right now.

1016
01:17:57,660 --> 01:17:59,800
Thank you and thank you. I did not clap at you.

1017
01:17:59,860 --> 01:18:01,540
You, though. That's disrespectful.

1018
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:05,040
You know I come here because I believe in what we're doing.

1019
01:18:05,480 --> 01:18:07,800
Moment of silence for lives lost due to Corsibic.

1020
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:09,260
Thank you.

1021
01:18:11,440 --> 01:18:14,140
uh... anybody else in chamber

1022
01:18:14,850 --> 01:18:16,360
before we go back to zoom

1023
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:18,300
nobody's coming up okay

1024
01:18:18,300 --> 01:18:22,200
all right uh... back up on zoom i have a gentleman

1025
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:24,520
with glasses

1026
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:28,980
there was a lady walkin behind a merlier i'd apologize i can't see your name

1027
01:18:28,980 --> 01:18:30,140
trust trying to describe

1028
01:18:35,690 --> 01:18:37,320
you can unmute sir

1029
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,800
thank you uh... thank you

1030
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,340
my name is bob kun's eye of

1031
01:18:46,340 --> 01:18:48,460
visited detainees and current county

1032
01:18:48,460 --> 01:18:55,860
for approximately 10 years, the difference between McFarlane and Baker's field and Cal City is

1033
01:18:55,860 --> 01:19:04,440
the difference between night and day. They're in incredible stories of problems that we've been

1034
01:19:04,440 --> 01:19:13,430
documented throughout the United States and this intention center. Previously, one of the family members

1035
01:19:14,050 --> 01:19:20,190
head upon one very important thing. If you go and visit in Cal City, which is very difficult

1036
01:19:20,190 --> 01:19:26,210
to do compared to the other ones, there's only 18 little screens with, you know, plexiglass

1037
01:19:26,210 --> 01:19:31,950
between it, it's very hard to communicate through it. People do not have a chance to touch or

1038
01:19:32,790 --> 01:19:41,370
or hug or a baby to, you know, a person to be with them. They are being held as prisoners at

1039
01:19:41,370 --> 01:19:55,370
level three prison. This is a detention center. There's supposed to have a chance to get an opportunity to look into the possibility of becoming a legal citizen here.

1040
01:19:55,370 --> 01:20:03,990
the international actually as said that the Cal City situation by course city is actually classified

1041
01:20:03,990 --> 01:20:11,870
as torture in a way of physical, lack of medical situation and mental. The whole situation

1042
01:20:11,870 --> 01:20:21,190
is unheard of for punishment for just normal type of things. I could go on and tell you

1043
01:20:21,190 --> 01:20:26,430
even worse things than you heard. There's already two people that had died and a couple of suicides at

1044
01:20:26,430 --> 01:20:34,550
temps already. The previous speaker, a couple of them, mentioned something. Cal City could make a difference.

1045
01:20:35,610 --> 01:20:43,150
This particular detention center should not even be in operating right now. These people are being tortured

1046
01:20:43,150 --> 01:20:50,190
without due process. They have not done to permits. They have not done anything. The structure

1047
01:20:50,190 --> 01:20:57,090
is not been looked into. Plus all the terrible things we're going on. As a planning commission,

1048
01:20:57,690 --> 01:21:03,790
you should stop right now. If this was another business, a hospital working on or whoever

1049
01:21:03,790 --> 01:21:09,730
didn't even have permission and you had any of any one of these violations, it would be put

1050
01:21:09,730 --> 01:21:18,370
down. So stop the situation right now. If not the proper permits, make sure that they've done

1051
01:21:18,370 --> 01:21:25,310
that and go from that. Cal State could be the first step in this nation and making a difference

1052
01:21:25,310 --> 01:21:32,730
in this deterioration of ghoul odds that are taking place for our fellow people in the world.

1053
01:21:33,930 --> 01:21:39,910
So, you know, everyone on this line and everywhere is here to support you. And you actually

1054
01:21:39,910 --> 01:21:46,210
do have a place. That that is a step right now that can make a difference. Your city is allowing

1055
01:21:46,210 --> 01:21:50,130
not to happen. And it should not even be there right now. Okay, thank you sir.

1056
01:21:50,610 --> 01:21:56,750
Thank you. Okay, next is Michael Anne.

1057
01:21:59,590 --> 01:22:01,530
Good evening, commissioners. My name is Michael

1058
01:22:01,530 --> 01:22:07,390
Michimura. I'm with Critical Resistance LA and I'm someone who wants to see you all fight for our neighbors,

1059
01:22:07,990 --> 01:22:13,570
our family members and community members. So we know that no decisions can be made in this meeting

1060
01:22:13,570 --> 01:22:16,570
tonight, but there are many questions that we've like answered.

1061
01:22:17,050 --> 01:22:19,650
For example, I was quite civic allowed to operate

1062
01:22:19,650 --> 01:22:22,610
without proper permits at an incomplete application with the city.

1063
01:22:23,350 --> 01:22:26,330
I was quite civic allowed to circumvent state law as P-29.

1064
01:22:27,210 --> 01:22:29,830
Why is this allowed to happen under the watch of California City

1065
01:22:29,830 --> 01:22:32,830
elected officials and what can be done about this on a state level?

1066
01:22:33,590 --> 01:22:36,850
Can you, as the planning commission, do something about the horrendous infrastructure

1067
01:22:36,850 --> 01:22:40,430
and help hazards happening in the facility and shut it down that way?

1068
01:22:40,890 --> 01:22:48,770
I know that Mayor Hawkins is in this meeting, and I appreciate him for being here, and I hope he and other members of the city council can help us answer these questions.

1069
01:22:50,150 --> 01:22:55,470
Right now, California City is infamous in California and across the US for this detention center.

1070
01:22:55,990 --> 01:22:59,170
And I'm sure that this is not the legacy and reputation that you want for the city.

1071
01:22:59,850 --> 01:23:03,750
So instead of that, you can also be the city that bought back and shut down a nice facility.

1072
01:23:03,750 --> 01:23:09,650
We urge you to be doing everything you possibly can to intervene or at the very least informed

1073
01:23:09,650 --> 01:23:12,050
the public about what kinds of remedies that you are pursuing.

1074
01:23:12,950 --> 01:23:17,290
As a previous speaker mentioned, conditions in the facility are so bad.

1075
01:23:18,390 --> 01:23:23,090
So many people who are detained there, there are so bad in fact that many people who are detained

1076
01:23:23,090 --> 01:23:24,450
there are suing ice.

1077
01:23:24,830 --> 01:23:30,250
It is called Hell on Earth in a Torture Chamber, the facility is polluted by sewage leaks,

1078
01:23:30,250 --> 01:23:33,190
and festive bugs, people are denied access to food,

1079
01:23:33,390 --> 01:23:36,310
water, medical care, medication, and legal counsel.

1080
01:23:36,970 --> 01:23:39,050
People have been on hunger strike to protest conditions.

1081
01:23:40,050 --> 01:23:42,770
This abuse and deadly violence is all very well documented

1082
01:23:42,770 --> 01:23:43,870
as people were mentioning.

1083
01:23:44,990 --> 01:23:46,430
We should not be normalizing this violence,

1084
01:23:46,590 --> 01:23:48,590
and I know that you do not want to do that either.

1085
01:23:49,150 --> 01:23:51,490
And I know that as leaders in California City,

1086
01:23:51,770 --> 01:23:53,670
you do not want this staining the name of the city.

1087
01:23:54,550 --> 01:23:57,350
As one of the speakers mentioned, you have many, many folks here

1088
01:23:57,350 --> 01:23:59,750
who are willing to fight against the facility with you.

1089
01:23:59,750 --> 01:24:08,570
So, please help elaborate how we can all push back, how we can end the illegal activity being conducted by ICE and to keep California City in accordance with state law.

1090
01:24:09,390 --> 01:24:12,350
Commissioners, you started this meeting with the intention to serve the people.

1091
01:24:12,830 --> 01:24:13,910
This is your responsibility.

1092
01:24:14,870 --> 01:24:19,390
In order to serve all people, especially our vulnerable community members who are living in terror,

1093
01:24:19,930 --> 01:24:25,030
we all need to do everything on our power to end this violence and pursue what is just. Thank you.

1094
01:24:25,030 --> 01:24:35,130
Thank you. Next gentleman, you have enabled your video, you have glasses and a dark jacket on, I think.

1095
01:24:35,970 --> 01:24:45,990
If you could just wave or, I'd note to you, yeah, that's you. Okay, please unmute and go ahead and say what you need to say, sir.

1096
01:24:48,710 --> 01:24:51,430
Can you hear me? My name's Gabriel. Yes, we can hear you

1097
01:24:53,610 --> 01:24:59,790
Okay, my name is Gabriel Cardona. Okay, I was a detainee at I count city

1098
01:25:01,650 --> 01:25:05,310
As I said here that I heard everybody's testimony now's been hearing everybody testimony

1099
01:25:05,710 --> 01:25:10,610
I want to just point out that a lot of things that it would there be a set of truth. I lived on myself

1100
01:25:11,010 --> 01:25:13,310
And I just want to first of all. Thank you for for

1101
01:25:14,270 --> 01:25:15,570
Daddy me speaking if testimony

1102
01:25:16,570 --> 01:25:16,930
now

1103
01:25:16,930 --> 01:25:24,570
as a kind of God, a person who is giving himself to service to serve the Lord in our kinds of ways.

1104
01:25:24,650 --> 01:25:30,810
I don't know, I sit here and I don't sit here and I read, it's right in front of you, right at your death.

1105
01:25:30,810 --> 01:25:32,350
It says, in God we trust.

1106
01:25:33,510 --> 01:25:36,110
Well, which God will you trust you?

1107
01:25:36,510 --> 01:25:40,210
Are you going to be like the Pharaoh and we're going to be like Moses?

1108
01:25:41,290 --> 01:25:44,870
Do you want, do you want to harm your hearts?

1109
01:25:45,330 --> 01:25:49,910
Or do you want to, or do you want to fulfill what that wants you to do?

1110
01:25:50,210 --> 01:25:52,890
I want you to bring these people out of there.

1111
01:25:53,610 --> 01:25:55,070
God wants you to bring these people out of there.

1112
01:25:55,450 --> 01:25:57,430
Now, I'm going to give you a little bit of my testimony.

1113
01:25:58,190 --> 01:26:04,850
A very thing I really want to say in the ensue name of everything that's happening inside the detention center is very true.

1114
01:26:05,170 --> 01:26:07,250
Talking about floods inside the detention center.

1115
01:26:07,470 --> 01:26:08,810
I was there also when it was prison.

1116
01:26:09,330 --> 01:26:11,350
When it was California City prison, I was there.

1117
01:26:11,350 --> 01:26:17,810
It closed because of the fact that it was it was not in in the conditions to maintain

1118
01:26:17,810 --> 01:26:25,630
When it rains outside can it rains inside and rains inside inside the the facility. It rains inside

1119
01:26:25,630 --> 01:26:31,410
Your the cells are flooding and it's true the the medical

1120
01:26:32,070 --> 01:26:35,740
The staffing there's no good and it's not bringing any

1121
01:26:35,740 --> 01:26:44,360
Don't help anyone. All it does is just ripping it in more illnesses to people. They're not doing anything in their power.

1122
01:26:44,540 --> 01:26:54,860
Not anything to help. When I was first a writer off on my label, it was very clear to me. It was very clear to me said by one of the staff there.

1123
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:57,880
That said, hey, you guys are not going to be here long anyways.

1124
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:03,660
We were here just to sign and get the party.

1125
01:27:04,140 --> 01:27:05,520
Why did you said that?

1126
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,360
Because they're trying to make it unhumane for them.

1127
01:27:08,820 --> 01:27:10,160
Unhumane for us to fight.

1128
01:27:10,540 --> 01:27:11,580
To fight for our rights.

1129
01:27:11,900 --> 01:27:13,140
To fight for rights to stay here.

1130
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:14,900
I've been living here in the United States.

1131
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,020
Right now I'm deported on the Mexico.

1132
01:27:19,940 --> 01:27:22,010
Now I've been living in the States 51 years.

1133
01:27:23,220 --> 01:27:24,340
I'm 51 year old.

1134
01:27:24,660 --> 01:27:25,660
My mom took me to the States.

1135
01:27:25,660 --> 01:27:30,260
and I was two months, two months of being born,

1136
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:32,840
and I've been living here in my whole life, okay?

1137
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,580
Now, here's my testimony on what I'm saying,

1138
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:37,400
on everything.

1139
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:40,440
We're fairly sad to me now, okay,

1140
01:27:40,500 --> 01:27:42,200
that we're only dealing a bit of time there.

1141
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:45,420
My goal was to, there are goal was to make us,

1142
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:47,580
we're also to get tired of it

1143
01:27:47,580 --> 01:27:48,840
and for us to run out of deportation.

1144
01:27:49,260 --> 01:27:51,960
I have suffered a spiritual disconnection,

1145
01:27:52,140 --> 01:27:54,400
not allowing us to attend a Christian service.

1146
01:27:54,400 --> 01:28:02,840
me being a server of the Lord bringing messages to the people to uplift them and in their struggles as well as mine

1147
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:12,620
or find this is a horrifying detention center at Calcini broke a lot of it broke a lot of people as well as myself

1148
01:28:12,620 --> 01:28:17,520
okay, so spiritually broken in sir your time is up, but thank you

1149
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:21,900
Okay, thank you. I thought you want to say thank you. Thank you. Okay

1150
01:28:21,900 --> 01:28:27,940
We did have somebody in chamber that wanted to speak, so we'll come back in chamber and then go back to Zoom.

1151
01:28:29,900 --> 01:28:30,740
Hi, my name is Eric.

1152
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,740
It's a cliche that I want to start by quoting head errands with anality of evil.

1153
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:41,640
She wrote, the sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.

1154
01:28:42,180 --> 01:28:44,760
I don't think you all made up your minds to be evil.

1155
01:28:45,340 --> 01:28:48,020
You keep saying you're not making decisions tonight, so you're fine.

1156
01:28:48,780 --> 01:28:52,020
But you have a choice before you, whether to do something good or evil.

1157
01:28:52,020 --> 01:28:55,760
And that may sound extreme, but it is true.

1158
01:28:56,940 --> 01:28:59,080
So let's talk banality a little bit.

1159
01:28:59,360 --> 01:28:59,900
I'm a photographer.

1160
01:29:00,660 --> 01:29:02,880
I visual metaphor is kind of my thing.

1161
01:29:03,900 --> 01:29:07,060
The future of this concentration camp is being decided in this room,

1162
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:10,340
but 15 people stains on the drop ceiling.

1163
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,180
There's a dusty fake plant in the corner.

1164
01:29:12,820 --> 01:29:16,020
The table of the entrance has a torn sparkly American flag,

1165
01:29:16,420 --> 01:29:16,880
table cloth.

1166
01:29:17,300 --> 01:29:20,000
You keep getting messages on your zoom meeting about the time running out.

1167
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:35,140
It's happening in this very room in this very moment and I don't believe that much evil was not a conscious choice, but you all can make a conscious choice, please do.

1168
01:29:35,140 --> 01:29:37,400
Good. Thank you.

1169
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:42,540
Nobody else in Chamber is coming up, so we will go back to Zoom.

1170
01:29:43,460 --> 01:29:45,340
The next person is Irene A.

1171
01:30:00,690 --> 01:30:09,410
Contour, respect, o medirejo status, believe me, with all due respect, aye, and come here to share with you.

1172
01:30:37,380 --> 01:30:45,370
extremely difficult for me and all of my family and all of my family.

1173
01:30:45,670 --> 01:30:50,890
I've heard of my son, I've heard of the opportunity to share moments

1174
01:30:50,890 --> 01:30:52,830
that you have with him.

1175
01:30:53,570 --> 01:30:57,830
I've lost my son and the opportunities of special moments with him.

1176
01:30:59,170 --> 01:31:00,910
I've heard of the years of conversations.

1177
01:31:02,490 --> 01:31:05,470
Last day is a dialogue with him,

1178
01:31:05,630 --> 01:31:07,990
the apoyo y de su presencia,

1179
01:31:08,730 --> 01:31:10,910
of support and of his presence.

1180
01:31:11,890 --> 01:31:13,090
As a 4 meses,

1181
01:31:13,690 --> 01:31:17,690
mi hijo fue transferido a California city.

1182
01:31:18,150 --> 01:31:21,190
4 months ago, my son was transferred to California city.

1183
01:31:21,830 --> 01:31:24,810
Y de sentonces no he podido estar en calma,

1184
01:31:25,150 --> 01:31:27,190
me angustia profundamente,

1185
01:31:27,190 --> 01:31:33,210
Since then, I have not been able to rest. I've been in English constantly.

1186
01:31:33,210 --> 01:31:41,370
Pensadis is escuchar sobre la negligencia que está ocurriendo en ese centro.

1187
01:31:46,170 --> 01:31:50,210
Como madre vivo con constante de preocupación?

1188
01:31:51,390 --> 01:31:55,210
As a mom I'm living with constant concern.

1189
01:32:09,670 --> 01:32:17,210
And I fear for his safety and all the human beings are saying in there.

1190
01:32:34,170 --> 01:32:45,350
Okay, thank you so much. Next one is Adriana's iPhone.

1191
01:32:51,210 --> 01:33:02,550
Yes. Good morning. Your commissioner members. My name is Adriana Hasso. I am calling from the city of San Diego.

1192
01:33:03,090 --> 01:33:08,370
With a very simple reflection and suggestion and asked,

1193
01:33:08,370 --> 01:33:14,730
Corset that has been operating in the Otai Mass Detention Center at the East of

1194
01:33:14,730 --> 01:33:20,870
Oork County, here in San Diego, with one of the biggest capacities to hold people

1195
01:33:20,870 --> 01:33:28,330
due to their immigration situation, their cases in Oork County.

1196
01:33:29,350 --> 01:33:37,430
The Corset that became more of a formal facility in the sense of formality for the

1197
01:33:37,430 --> 01:33:44,350
profit making billions of dollars a year at the expense of the pain and the harm that they

1198
01:33:44,350 --> 01:33:50,910
exercise against hundreds and thousands of people. It would be great if you commissioners

1199
01:33:50,910 --> 01:34:00,750
will take the time to read time after time. Many different offices that have reduced reports of the

1200
01:34:00,750 --> 01:34:10,190
uses in terms of lack of medical attention, extended hours, months, and weeks of isolation.

1201
01:34:11,990 --> 01:34:20,530
Every level of labor abuse that you can imagine, it would be great if you would take

1202
01:34:20,530 --> 01:34:25,590
the time to understand and to know that course civic is a corporation, a private

1203
01:34:25,590 --> 01:34:35,610
for proper corporation that is after the money, and that is sadly taken advantage of cities

1204
01:34:35,610 --> 01:34:42,730
isolated that are selling a product, and this case for civic selling a product to isolated

1205
01:34:42,730 --> 01:34:50,090
communities. California City can do better, should do better, must do better, and you as

1206
01:34:50,090 --> 01:35:08,010
missioners have the responsibility to at least be on the right side of history and say go get a permit, do things right, and bring a true process of transparency and accountability to all members of your community. Thank you.

1207
01:35:08,010 --> 01:35:11,830
Okay. Thank you. Next person is Jessica Pavia.

1208
01:35:23,300 --> 01:35:23,300
Hello.

1209
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:27,100
Yes, I'm sorry. I was coming apart.

1210
01:35:27,900 --> 01:35:32,140
So we talked about how morally is wrong.

1211
01:35:32,660 --> 01:35:35,940
However, I guess I would talk about the reality, right?

1212
01:35:36,540 --> 01:35:40,100
So Angelus, fornia, we're not allowed to have the attention.

1213
01:35:41,100 --> 01:35:44,340
Pro, for profit, the attention centers.

1214
01:35:44,340 --> 01:35:55,220
We have portions of AB32 that prohibited private detention centers to have or profits and should not be working in the state of California.

1215
01:35:57,340 --> 01:36:02,060
So therefore that's a radio violation for the fact that they're asking for a permit to even open up that sentence.

1216
01:36:02,060 --> 01:36:05,980
a prison because it was a prison. It wasn't a detention center. And now they want to do

1217
01:36:07,140 --> 01:36:12,940
pro pro or profit detention center in California. It's ridiculous that you guys are even thinking

1218
01:36:12,940 --> 01:36:20,640
of even creating that. It's not okay for you guys to prove that and approving or sending such

1219
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:26,220
youth creates legal instability and exposes the city for future enforcement and they get litigations

1220
01:36:26,220 --> 01:36:31,660
risk. It's also the local thorny and conditional youth permit issues. Again, they start

1221
01:36:31,660 --> 01:36:38,020
They opened up that facility without any permits, not entirely for any, no type of zoning permits.

1222
01:36:38,660 --> 01:36:39,680
It's completely wrong.

1223
01:36:40,300 --> 01:36:40,840
It's expensive.

1224
01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:42,380
It's coming from taxpayers.

1225
01:36:42,580 --> 01:36:43,980
It's coming from the community.

1226
01:36:44,620 --> 01:36:45,740
You have the community.

1227
01:36:46,260 --> 01:36:47,040
A parade.

1228
01:36:47,440 --> 01:36:50,660
And since Saturday, there has been ice presence in Angela Valley.

1229
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:53,240
And the community has been fearful.

1230
01:36:53,620 --> 01:36:55,480
People have been kidnapped into the city.

1231
01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:56,720
And it's not okay.

1232
01:36:57,280 --> 01:36:59,760
Talk about the environmental.

1233
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:07,180
California Environmental Quality Act, it also increases the use of it, and it's a public

1234
01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:11,460
safety for the environment as well, and it creates new public health concerns.

1235
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:19,800
The emergency responses are will also be slower since there will be more people coming in.

1236
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:23,320
And then health safety code will be a concern.

1237
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:26,680
It raises private attendance to the services included in the

1238
01:37:26,680 --> 01:37:29,700
accurate medical and mental health care, which we've already heard.

1239
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:32,780
So many people have already spoke about this.

1240
01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:35,020
So many people are not getting their medication.

1241
01:37:35,660 --> 01:37:39,360
They're not seeing, they're not being looked at when they have health concerns.

1242
01:37:39,540 --> 01:37:44,080
This is not okay. It's unsafe for overcrowing overcrowded living conditions

1243
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:48,020
and facing me basic sanitation and safety standards.

1244
01:37:48,540 --> 01:37:50,060
This is not okay.

1245
01:37:50,060 --> 01:38:00,240
I've been here every often and I always say even times when good people do nothing this what are you guys doing all you have to say is

1246
01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:09,240
No, you will not allow this attention center to not even the attention center call it what it is this concentration camp to continue in this state

1247
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:16,380
It is not okay for California to have a concentration camp. Let's talk about it. We talk about a German and not to

1248
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:19,940
Hitler and we learn about it and flow how that is back

1249
01:38:20,060 --> 01:38:26,220
What are we doing? This is exactly what it is. We're repeating the mistake of history.

1250
01:38:26,660 --> 01:38:32,100
This is literally why we have history castes. So we know not to repeat the mistakes.

1251
01:38:32,500 --> 01:38:37,160
This is noxie Germany. This is a concentration camp. Thank you, man. Your time is up, please.

1252
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:48,200
Okay. Thank you. Next I can't see she just put on the video. I think it's a lady. I can't see that.

1253
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:51,000
I'm sorry, my eyes of this far away on that board.

1254
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:53,440
Okay, please go ahead.

1255
01:38:54,180 --> 01:38:55,620
Of course, no worries, thank you commissioner.

1256
01:38:56,580 --> 01:38:59,100
My name is Chris Howard O'Aes and I'm a Senior Managing Attorney

1257
01:38:59,100 --> 01:39:01,100
at the Immigrant Legal Resource Center.

1258
01:39:01,540 --> 01:39:04,140
We are national experts in immigration law

1259
01:39:04,140 --> 01:39:06,900
and have a team dedicated to supporting the Central Valley

1260
01:39:06,900 --> 01:39:08,500
including here in Kern County.

1261
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:12,040
First, thank you for your time and your attention

1262
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:13,000
over these meetings.

1263
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:15,960
I appreciate that this is a tense moment in history

1264
01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:18,400
for everybody and we appreciate your leadership

1265
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:19,720
and your time in this moment.

1266
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:22,480
My organization helped write SB 29.

1267
01:39:23,300 --> 01:39:26,600
It is our physician that there should be two SB 29 hearings

1268
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:27,840
before the planning commission.

1269
01:39:28,540 --> 01:39:30,040
So there should be an additional hearing

1270
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:33,100
before the planning commission before any permit approval.

1271
01:39:34,020 --> 01:39:36,320
Respectfully, the notice for today's hearing

1272
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:39,960
was an operating contrary to this spirit of SB 29.

1273
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:42,980
SB 29 is the public participation

1274
01:39:42,980 --> 01:39:48,180
and then respectfully notice for today's hearing was quick and very close to the holidays.

1275
01:39:49,940 --> 01:39:56,060
We understand that the city has put in work and effort in combing through applicable local laws

1276
01:39:56,060 --> 01:40:00,420
and state laws to confirm next steps and we do appreciate that. Meanwhile,

1277
01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:05,300
Corsovic opened and began operating them lawfully without any such care.

1278
01:40:05,900 --> 01:40:10,500
Corsovic's rapid and shoddy opening is directly related to the terrible conditions inside.

1279
01:40:10,500 --> 01:40:14,900
From day one, the cells were dirty and medical care was negligent.

1280
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:20,820
Disability rights advocates, there are an organization that's actually charged with monitoring facilities just like this.

1281
01:40:21,220 --> 01:40:23,420
They personally inspect the facility recently.

1282
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:24,560
They toward the facility.

1283
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:26,500
They spoke with orthodic staff.

1284
01:40:26,740 --> 01:40:28,680
They talked to people who were detained there.

1285
01:40:29,420 --> 01:40:34,960
And they issued a report finding that orthodic bill to provide access to medical medical care.

1286
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:48,400
Utilized solitary confinement and necessarily also maintain staff who harassed detained people and failed to meet basic needs related to food water and clothing and we're happy to provide that part should you like to review it.

1287
01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:53,120
There has separately also been a lawsuit followed against Pacific on conditions alone.

1288
01:40:53,720 --> 01:41:04,920
That lawsuit is challenging the constitutionally inadequate medical care discrimination against people with disabilities and interfering with people's rights to hire and consult with their attorneys.

1289
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:10,760
And if there's any doubt about these conditions, we're happy to provide any documentation you may need.

1290
01:41:11,680 --> 01:41:18,180
Members of the Planning Commission, I know that you're good people, and I trust that you are equally offended by the way people are being treated in this facility.

1291
01:41:18,940 --> 01:41:23,640
And while these moments can make people feel helpless, we trust in your leadership in this moment.

1292
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:29,020
We trust in you holding courseific accountable to apply for a conditional use permit.

1293
01:41:29,020 --> 01:41:31,100
Of course, it clearly doesn't care.

1294
01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:33,660
We know that they're operating them off way right now,

1295
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:35,520
but we trust that you do care,

1296
01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:37,840
and we urge you to require a course of it

1297
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:39,840
to apply for a conditional use permit.

1298
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,180
Not only is that the right legal move,

1299
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:46,020
but it's also the right move in terms of the impact

1300
01:41:46,020 --> 01:41:47,180
to the community.

1301
01:41:47,460 --> 01:41:48,840
Does your 15-year contracts?

1302
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:51,960
Meaning that the facility would open until 2040.

1303
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:54,500
It's the largest facility on the west coast,

1304
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:55,880
meaning that things like your roads,

1305
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:58,760
your water, your emergency services are going to be

1306
01:42:00,780 --> 01:42:01,180
impacted.

1307
01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:03,900
Again, the urge you to please require the course

1308
01:42:03,900 --> 01:42:05,880
of the apply for conditional use permit

1309
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:08,580
and in the meantime, hold them accountable by finding them

1310
01:42:08,580 --> 01:42:10,680
and doing what else ever else is in your power.

1311
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:11,720
Thank you so much.

1312
01:42:11,860 --> 01:42:13,160
OK, thank you.

1313
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:15,340
Next person is Eunice.

1314
01:42:21,250 --> 01:42:21,890
I did evening.

1315
01:42:22,330 --> 01:42:26,030
I actually have three folks attending California City

1316
01:42:26,030 --> 01:42:28,910
who would like to provide a comment.

1317
01:42:29,830 --> 01:42:34,830
Is it okay if we put three minutes on the clock for each of them?

1318
01:42:43,550 --> 01:42:45,130
I don't take that as a yes.

1319
01:42:45,930 --> 01:42:49,050
I'm just thinking it over because we haven't run into this before.

1320
01:42:50,190 --> 01:42:51,750
Are these people going to identify themselves?

1321
01:42:52,870 --> 01:42:53,110
Yes.

1322
01:42:53,590 --> 01:42:53,890
Okay.

1323
01:42:55,850 --> 01:42:58,750
We will now are you going to speak to?

1324
01:42:58,890 --> 01:43:00,270
So there's four people all together?

1325
01:43:00,490 --> 01:43:01,150
I'm not speaking.

1326
01:43:01,470 --> 01:43:02,190
I'm just connected.

1327
01:43:02,190 --> 01:43:03,050
Okay, you're coordinating.

1328
01:43:03,050 --> 01:43:03,710
I understand.

1329
01:43:04,090 --> 01:43:04,110
Okay.

1330
01:43:04,170 --> 01:43:04,690
Very good.

1331
01:43:04,690 --> 01:43:12,690
Okay, we will allow each person three minutes, and let the first, and I assume they're with you.

1332
01:43:13,610 --> 01:43:15,950
No, they're not with you. This is a phone.

1333
01:43:21,630 --> 01:43:22,150
Can they begin?

1334
01:43:26,620 --> 01:43:31,360
Okay, just a minute. Okay, I was just trying to understand what's going on here.

1335
01:43:32,300 --> 01:43:33,880
Nobody told me about this. Okay.

1336
01:43:34,260 --> 01:43:36,180
Eunice, go ahead and have your first person.

1337
01:43:37,140 --> 01:43:38,740
Okay. Thank you.

1338
01:45:32,710 --> 01:45:48,630
Okay, units are they all using the same phone? No. Okay, because I was going to recommend whoever it's almost indistinguishable what that gentleman said. So the next person if they, you know, we'll let you know if we can't hear him.

1339
01:45:48,990 --> 01:45:55,850
Okay, thank you. Yeah, just one of the other ongoing issues over their quality of phones.

1340
01:45:55,850 --> 01:46:00,150
Yeah. Well, I think if they held it just a little bit farther away, a might have helped, but

1341
01:46:00,150 --> 01:46:03,950
anyway, we'll work on it. Okay. So you can get the second person,

1342
01:46:04,490 --> 01:46:06,650
queue it up and let them start, please.

1343
01:46:10,900 --> 01:46:12,660
I was kind. Go ahead.

1344
01:48:45,850 --> 01:48:46,530
Okay, thank you.

1345
01:48:48,890 --> 01:48:52,730
Okay, units, do you still have the third person? Yes. Okay.

1346
01:51:53,270 --> 01:51:54,310
Okay, thank you.

1347
01:51:57,500 --> 01:52:01,720
We'll move on to the next person. And that's going to be Bruno.

1348
01:52:03,950 --> 01:52:05,230
Okay, please stand by.

1349
01:52:05,950 --> 01:52:12,750
We're going to take a five-minute recess real quick for a restroom break and then we'll reconvene

1350
01:52:12,750 --> 01:52:19,550
here. It's 7.52 right now. If I'm in at 7.57, we'll start back up. Thank you.

1351
01:52:53,820 --> 01:53:01,580
Okay. We call the meeting back to order after our recess and we will be returning to everybody.

1352
01:53:01,860 --> 01:53:08,680
There's only two people left in Chamber and they've already spoke, so we'll finish out all the

1353
01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:17,480
And so I think, oh, you put on the video, is that Bruno was the first person that any switch

1354
01:53:17,480 --> 01:53:18,680
on his video?

1355
01:53:19,700 --> 01:53:20,960
So please go ahead.

1356
01:53:23,020 --> 01:53:24,220
Thank you.

1357
01:53:24,580 --> 01:53:25,120
Good evening.

1358
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:30,480
Commissioner, my name is Bruno with the California Immigrant Policy Center, and I'm here

1359
01:53:30,480 --> 01:53:36,100
to stand with the families and communities urging you to stop or civics, unlawful operation

1360
01:53:36,100 --> 01:53:37,300
in California City.

1361
01:53:37,300 --> 01:53:42,800
I want to acknowledge that we just heard from three people who are currently detained in

1362
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:45,120
core civic before recess.

1363
01:53:46,380 --> 01:53:49,880
Planning Commissioner, you mentioned that it was indistinguishable to hear one of the community

1364
01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:53,280
members who was sharing his stories of the abysmal conditions inside.

1365
01:53:54,180 --> 01:53:59,940
These stories remind me when I was 17 years old and my parent was detained in an eye facility

1366
01:53:59,940 --> 01:54:01,160
here in California.

1367
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:06,160
and human treatment, deplorable conditions with everyday life.

1368
01:54:06,700 --> 01:54:11,620
No access to medical care, no access to family, no access to legal counsel.

1369
01:54:12,980 --> 01:54:16,500
People who constitutional rights are being violated, left and right.

1370
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:22,640
And so I just wanted to honor the stories we heard from a mother, we heard from a 15-year-old

1371
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:27,340
senior man who has retained and heard all his life and been deported.

1372
01:54:28,120 --> 01:54:36,400
Many people here on this call are you're wondering why people are calling in from around California because this impacts our entire state.

1373
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:48,040
Core Civic is operating the largest private prison or private detention facility in California without a valid business license and conditioners permit since April I believe this year.

1374
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:54,760
If they are operating without adherence to local and state laws was happening behind these prison walls.

1375
01:54:55,480 --> 01:55:13,860
Since June 6th, 10,000 Californians, according to Department of Homeland Security, have been arrested during mass immigration rates and in-discriminate arrest conducted by mass heavily armed federal agents, I work places on our streets and in our neighborhoods.

1376
01:55:14,540 --> 01:55:23,140
And even in sensitive locations like schools, hospitals, and churches, guns, drawn at pastures in downing Los Angeles, California.

1377
01:55:23,140 --> 01:55:28,800
Federal agents are arresting Californians based on the color of their skin, the language

1378
01:55:28,800 --> 01:55:34,020
to speak, and the type of work that they do. We're seeing federal agents every attacking,

1379
01:55:34,880 --> 01:55:41,200
arresting and retaining Californians without identification without biological warrants,

1380
01:55:41,440 --> 01:55:46,720
and without regard for our constitutional rights. Our mothers, our fathers, our grandparents,

1381
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:53,360
our siblings, our co-workers, and our neighbors are being hunted and arrested in our streets,

1382
01:55:53,960 --> 01:55:59,720
across Los Angeles and California, by the authoritarian government by his secret police force,

1383
01:56:00,340 --> 01:56:05,600
and being transferred to California City, where their rights are being violated, left and right,

1384
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:14,060
and are forced to live in a business condition that no human being on God's Green Earth should ever have to be subjected to.

1385
01:56:14,060 --> 01:56:20,260
We are here to respectfully urge you to exercise your power and enforce California, cities,

1386
01:56:20,380 --> 01:56:26,800
municipal codes, and protect public safety for all of us by requiring that core civic

1387
01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:33,260
follow the law and apply for conditionally use permits and keep them accountable. We, the

1388
01:56:33,260 --> 01:56:37,960
people of California choose dignity and justice. Core civic, the billion dollar private

1389
01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:43,060
prison corporation will always choose profit, over health and safety, over the local economy,

1390
01:56:43,060 --> 01:56:45,060
and over justice. Okay, thank you.

1391
01:56:45,060 --> 01:56:47,840
California, you can not continue to allow for civic to

1392
01:56:47,840 --> 01:56:49,920
underline your time. Your time, sir.

1393
01:56:50,220 --> 01:56:50,980
Your time, sir.

1394
01:56:53,220 --> 01:56:55,320
Next one is Jonathan.

1395
01:56:55,820 --> 01:56:57,200
I can't read your last name.

1396
01:56:57,380 --> 01:56:58,600
It's cut off on the screen.

1397
01:56:59,040 --> 01:57:00,380
So if you would, please, go ahead.

1398
01:57:05,290 --> 01:57:07,070
Hi, my name is Jonathan Partridge.

1399
01:57:07,590 --> 01:57:13,810
I am the co-chair of San Joaquin refugee and immigrant support and empowerment,

1400
01:57:14,090 --> 01:57:18,870
which is the Immigration Commission for the Episcopal Diasis of

1401
01:57:18,870 --> 01:57:21,530
and walking in, which actually includes your area,

1402
01:57:21,970 --> 01:57:24,570
we have a congregation that's over in Ridgecrest.

1403
01:57:26,770 --> 01:57:30,150
And I mean, I just want to echo some of the things

1404
01:57:30,150 --> 01:57:32,850
that everybody else is saying on one hand,

1405
01:57:32,970 --> 01:57:34,730
in terms of the conditions in Cal City,

1406
01:57:34,890 --> 01:57:41,190
we have a decant who has gone over to the detention center

1407
01:57:41,190 --> 01:57:44,250
to visit folks and has noted the abysmal conditions.

1408
01:57:44,250 --> 01:57:52,950
And in addition to that, it's having an impact, not just on California City, but on the surrounding region as well.

1409
01:57:53,370 --> 01:58:01,610
We have, I think, Michael's Ridgecrest, a Spanish speaking congregation that has been meeting there.

1410
01:58:01,610 --> 01:58:08,610
There was thriving and is now on the brink of disappearing essentially, people are too scared to go outside,

1411
01:58:08,610 --> 01:58:16,930
because they know that this detention center is in Eastern Kern County and in relatively

1412
01:58:16,930 --> 01:58:25,990
nearby. So it's not just impacting Cal City, it's impacting the entire region. And as a

1413
01:58:25,990 --> 01:58:35,130
person of faith, I mean, I'm a Christian for us, the belief that Jesus says, when you welcome

1414
01:58:35,130 --> 01:58:43,950
stranger you welcome me. That word that's used, it's actually the same root word of xenophobia,

1415
01:58:44,330 --> 01:58:50,470
xenos, and Greek, and the Bible. And so in our own faith tradition, this is something that

1416
01:58:51,170 --> 01:58:59,790
is essential that we are not antagonizing those who are, well, we're welcome the stranger,

1417
01:58:59,790 --> 01:59:04,310
you're welcome the foreigner, not to persecute them.

1418
01:59:04,730 --> 01:59:08,210
And so I just plead with you.

1419
01:59:08,410 --> 01:59:09,870
I've been to Cal City.

1420
01:59:10,530 --> 01:59:13,670
I've seen actually the condition of the buildings

1421
01:59:13,670 --> 01:59:15,050
that you have there.

1422
01:59:15,390 --> 01:59:19,150
And like I've been to Coyote Cafe, had a great breakfast there.

1423
01:59:19,410 --> 01:59:22,070
I know that they would never serve muddy water there,

1424
01:59:22,070 --> 01:59:24,530
and that would never be allowed by your city.

1425
01:59:24,870 --> 01:59:27,790
And so I asked that you would hold all structures

1426
01:59:27,790 --> 01:59:32,830
to the same standards that you hold everything else and not allow this detention center

1427
01:59:33,910 --> 01:59:39,430
which is under a horrible conditions. This is everybody's mention to operate within your community.

1428
01:59:40,130 --> 01:59:45,030
You all are better than that and thank you so much for your time.

1429
01:59:45,950 --> 01:59:49,830
Okay, thank you. Next person is going to be Monica?

1430
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:06,220
So, I go up on my day because I was scared that I would never get to see my father again.

1431
02:00:06,480 --> 02:00:12,700
So, to the same lack of like, because I know how medication they're not scared because people have,

1432
02:00:12,720 --> 02:00:18,960
people have diet and other detention center from that communication and I'm scared that my father could be next.

1433
02:00:18,980 --> 02:00:27,640
My father is 60 years old. He's not a, he's not supposed to be there. He's, he doesn't get his medicine.

1434
02:00:27,640 --> 02:00:31,260
whenever he gets his medicine to his medicine if he's too high or too low, he's been

1435
02:00:31,260 --> 02:00:36,040
hospitalized, he's been hospitalized, about three times he got there, I think he got through

1436
02:00:36,040 --> 02:00:40,500
the August, he got through the August, and he's been hospitalized three times, he's recently

1437
02:00:40,500 --> 02:00:47,540
changed him to a new dormitory, the conditions are really bad, there's no dormitory, there's no water,

1438
02:00:47,860 --> 02:00:55,580
the toilet stone flesh, there's no water, the toilet stone flesh, they really don't care about you

1439
02:00:55,580 --> 02:00:58,000
They're like, if you're in there, they don't care about you at all.

1440
02:00:58,200 --> 02:00:59,540
They just treat you like animals,

1441
02:00:59,860 --> 02:01:01,560
cause like, that's what they think you are.

1442
02:01:01,820 --> 02:01:04,780
They treat you like animals, cause they think you have no feelings.

1443
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:05,800
People have died.

1444
02:01:06,140 --> 02:01:08,520
There's four people that have died due to them,

1445
02:01:08,640 --> 02:01:10,160
not having a medication in there.

1446
02:01:10,460 --> 02:01:11,800
It's just a really bad place.

1447
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:13,440
And I urge you to close that place out,

1448
02:01:13,640 --> 02:01:15,720
because if you seriously care about your people,

1449
02:01:15,900 --> 02:01:16,960
and you care about that city,

1450
02:01:17,120 --> 02:01:18,560
I urge you to close that place down.

1451
02:01:19,080 --> 02:01:20,420
Because there's people dying,

1452
02:01:20,560 --> 02:01:21,800
you don't want that to be on your record.

1453
02:01:21,860 --> 02:01:23,500
This is history, you don't want it.

1454
02:01:23,500 --> 02:01:30,600
I don't want this to be part of your California City history because it's going to impact your city and it's going to be a terrible

1455
02:01:30,600 --> 02:01:34,980
terrible look upon your history. Thank you.

1456
02:01:35,360 --> 02:01:43,920
Okay, thank you. The next person up there is an empty chair in the video so we'll bypass that person if they come back.

1457
02:01:44,080 --> 02:01:51,950
We'll get back to them. Next is D&D interpreter.

1458
02:01:51,950 --> 02:01:55,730
I think it was or I hope I got that right.

1459
02:02:01,650 --> 02:02:04,470
I can't see the name connected. That's been cut off.

1460
02:02:04,610 --> 02:02:10,810
It just says capital D, capital N, capital D, and then looks like the beginning of interpreter.

1461
02:02:12,970 --> 02:02:16,070
Yes. Hi. Sorry. Oh, no worries. No worries. Please go ahead.

1462
02:02:16,910 --> 02:02:22,170
Yes. Thanks. Yes. I was hoping to interpret it. I might come on to help interpret a couple more testimonies coming up.

1463
02:02:22,690 --> 02:02:23,090
Hello.

1464
02:02:24,290 --> 02:02:24,410
Hello.

1465
02:02:24,890 --> 02:02:27,410
We do a collection of new interpretations.

1466
02:02:27,830 --> 02:02:29,850
I'm perfect so we can go with Angelana Angelasta's list,

1467
02:02:32,480 --> 02:02:32,480
huh?

1468
02:02:32,860 --> 02:02:33,960
What's going on interpreter?

1469
02:02:35,100 --> 02:02:36,840
So I was going to share my own testimony,

1470
02:02:37,140 --> 02:02:40,320
but it sounds like one of the mothers is ready to share their story.

1471
02:02:40,700 --> 02:02:42,160
Angel, are you ready? Angelasta's list,

1472
02:02:45,490 --> 02:02:45,490
huh?

1473
02:02:45,790 --> 02:02:49,210
It's just that she doesn't know how to use the...

1474
02:02:49,210 --> 02:02:50,070
Yeah, but she doesn't.

1475
02:02:50,330 --> 02:02:52,970
Don't have access to the office to raise her hand on them.

1476
02:02:53,210 --> 02:02:53,770
She has.

1477
02:02:54,050 --> 02:02:54,870
Bro, that's it.

1478
02:02:55,010 --> 02:02:55,630
Me, what's it?

1479
02:02:57,930 --> 02:03:03,270
Okay, okay, so it sounds like you're ready to go, please go ahead.

1480
02:03:26,390 --> 02:03:29,030
at the point that they are

1481
02:03:29,030 --> 02:03:31,790
bringing them to the point that they don't

1482
02:03:31,790 --> 02:03:33,770
get more of these detentions.

1483
02:03:34,510 --> 02:03:35,950
They don't get to the point

1484
02:03:35,950 --> 02:03:38,650
of the detentions where

1485
02:03:38,650 --> 02:03:40,270
they are affecting a lot

1486
02:03:40,270 --> 02:03:42,170
of us, as a family,

1487
02:03:43,070 --> 02:03:44,130
and, interestingly, I have

1488
02:03:44,130 --> 02:03:45,190
as a mother of my son,

1489
02:03:45,750 --> 02:03:47,630
that has affected me all this.

1490
02:03:48,810 --> 02:03:50,770
And for me, it's a

1491
02:03:50,770 --> 02:03:54,690
in San Cidumbre, and a suffering.

1492
02:03:55,870 --> 02:03:58,750
It was my son, in that place in Serrado,

1493
02:03:59,310 --> 02:04:01,490
it was 10 months of being in that place,

1494
02:04:02,930 --> 02:04:04,890
and it was a suffering for me, as a mother,

1495
02:04:05,150 --> 02:04:10,830
and also for all my family, and, well, I don't know.

1496
02:04:12,130 --> 02:04:15,770
I hope you, well, help us,

1497
02:04:16,650 --> 02:04:19,190
so that they don't get more of this detention,

1498
02:04:19,190 --> 02:04:20,210
They're asking me to pay you not to?

1499
02:04:20,590 --> 02:04:22,450
I am asking for my family?

1500
02:04:24,390 --> 02:04:26,210
And thank you.

1501
02:04:31,620 --> 02:04:32,740
Thank you.

1502
02:04:32,800 --> 02:04:33,620
Thank you, I spoke to you again.

1503
02:04:33,620 --> 02:04:34,420
I got the freedom.

1504
02:04:34,420 --> 02:04:35,340
Thank you!

1505
02:04:36,040 --> 02:04:40,340
Thank you Yuri, my name is Ágil Amontoya, and my mother of Rafael Montoía.

1506
02:04:42,060 --> 02:04:46,260
Since this has happened, this has been very impactful to me and my family.

1507
02:04:46,320 --> 02:04:47,980
He's been there for 10 months.

1508
02:04:50,480 --> 02:04:54,360
I think this meeting here is supposed to be able to help us and make the decision

1509
02:04:54,360 --> 02:04:57,200
and that we stop the detention center from operating.

1510
02:04:57,900 --> 02:05:00,480
This has been super hurtful and uncertain

1511
02:05:00,480 --> 02:05:03,000
and just so much suffering for me and my family,

1512
02:05:03,340 --> 02:05:05,560
these last 10 months that to see my son,

1513
02:05:05,720 --> 02:05:06,640
there as a mother.

1514
02:05:07,500 --> 02:05:10,200
So I call on you all to help us

1515
02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:12,060
so that we can stop this family separation.

1516
02:05:12,460 --> 02:05:13,300
Thank you.

1517
02:05:13,460 --> 02:05:14,700
Okay, thank you.

1518
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:19,900
Next on the list is the bad sister it says.

1519
02:05:23,530 --> 02:05:23,790
Hello.

1520
02:05:25,350 --> 02:05:26,290
Thank you very much.

1521
02:05:26,390 --> 02:05:26,830
Can you hear me?

1522
02:05:26,830 --> 02:05:33,610
yes we can please go ahead okay i'm inspired by the people that have talked about religion

1523
02:05:33,610 --> 02:05:39,790
and what jesus said he would do and so i'm going to read the seven tenants of satinism

1524
02:05:40,590 --> 02:05:46,730
if it doesn't hurt be kind to all every creature fake or small use good sense and follow

1525
02:05:46,730 --> 02:05:53,490
through but just remember to love you too do what's fair and never stray even when rules get in

1526
02:05:53,490 --> 02:06:00,550
way. Always stand for what is right and when it's dark, you'll be the light. Your body is yours

1527
02:06:00,550 --> 02:06:06,950
and yours alone. You make the choices let it be known. Nobody else can say what to do. Your body

1528
02:06:06,950 --> 02:06:16,410
is special just like you. Respect everyone's right to be, especially when they disagree. If there

1529
02:06:16,410 --> 02:06:22,410
words make you mad, set them free. Don't be sad. Science helps us to understand the world

1530
02:06:22,410 --> 02:06:29,710
and always see. So we shouldn't bend the truth to prop up our beliefs. We all make mistakes.

1531
02:06:29,910 --> 02:06:36,530
That much is true, but let's make it right before we are through. Right your wrongs and do

1532
02:06:36,530 --> 02:06:43,550
what you can. It's never too late to reach out your hand. Be kind, be wise, be fair, each day,

1533
02:06:43,550 --> 02:06:51,890
Let these words guide your way, but more than words let action show compassion and justice let them flow.

1534
02:06:52,730 --> 02:07:02,510
This is the children's version of the satanic temples seven tenets of satinism, and I sit here and see and write in front of me and God we trust and

1535
02:07:02,510 --> 02:07:07,230
Starting with a prayer. So I'm here to represent everyone that is not a Christian

1536
02:07:07,230 --> 02:07:14,750
that is not religious, or whatever it is, because we all stand on the sides of our brothers and sisters,

1537
02:07:15,270 --> 02:07:21,910
especially the ones that are in detainment right now, being illegally arrested, being treated

1538
02:07:21,910 --> 02:07:30,610
like human vermin, a quote from Hitler, this is what is happening, and this is happening in our

1539
02:07:30,610 --> 02:07:34,290
in Southern California, and the largest detention center.

1540
02:07:35,930 --> 02:07:37,170
We need to stop this.

1541
02:07:37,510 --> 02:07:40,610
You all, sit in front of that in God we trust.

1542
02:07:40,850 --> 02:07:42,050
Do you?

1543
02:07:42,570 --> 02:07:44,790
Are you going by the words of Jesus?

1544
02:07:45,950 --> 02:07:49,530
And the seven tenets of Satanism are for humans,

1545
02:07:50,890 --> 02:07:51,430
humanitarianism.

1546
02:07:52,270 --> 02:07:54,150
I love the words of Jesus.

1547
02:07:54,570 --> 02:07:57,030
I love the words of a lot of religious people.

1548
02:07:57,430 --> 02:08:00,110
And here you sit with this power

1549
02:08:00,110 --> 02:08:08,390
in your hands to stop this manzan art, to point out, manzan art for brown people. And it needs

1550
02:08:08,390 --> 02:08:14,430
to stop. And also you are breaking the law and violating the Constitution by doing a prayer

1551
02:08:14,430 --> 02:08:18,630
and having us all stare at an in-god we trust. Thank you.

1552
02:08:19,970 --> 02:08:24,710
Thank you. Next one is Casey, Europe.

1553
02:08:33,160 --> 02:08:36,840
Yeah, thank you so much to the council. Can you hear me okay?

1554
02:08:37,280 --> 02:08:38,880
Yes, please go ahead.

1555
02:08:39,440 --> 02:08:40,280
Okay, thank you.

1556
02:08:41,560 --> 02:08:47,420
I, my news case, I'm actually, I'm not in California City. I'm actually live in a

1557
02:08:47,420 --> 02:08:50,920
staff, but I'm actually in Dublin right now. I'm at the Dublin City Council meeting.

1558
02:08:51,440 --> 02:08:57,160
Supporting a resolution to not open FCI Dublin as a detention center. I'm also

1559
02:08:57,160 --> 02:09:04,200
these American and Descendant of World War II American concentration camps, and I know my previous

1560
02:09:04,200 --> 02:09:07,540
speaker, the bad sister just went up and stands in there and I'll come back to that in a

1561
02:09:07,540 --> 02:09:13,200
little bit. But you've heard so many people from so many different identities, with relationships

1562
02:09:13,200 --> 02:09:18,840
to the center in California City, literally mothers of folks detained and children of those

1563
02:09:18,840 --> 02:09:24,300
which I'm crying about, and I'm so inspired by their bravery.

1564
02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:28,640
So I'm not sure what else we can say on this call,

1565
02:09:28,800 --> 02:09:31,980
to continue by gain and pleading with you to choose humanity.

1566
02:09:33,160 --> 02:09:36,440
But I will say that history does not look finally

1567
02:09:36,440 --> 02:09:39,700
on those who enact violence and serve the fittings

1568
02:09:39,700 --> 02:09:42,640
of rich private corporations like courseific

1569
02:09:42,640 --> 02:09:44,460
that do not care about people.

1570
02:09:44,840 --> 02:09:47,520
They don't care about the immigrants they play in detention centers.

1571
02:09:47,520 --> 02:09:52,560
They do not care about me, they do not care about you, they do not care about California City.

1572
02:09:53,120 --> 02:09:55,240
They care about money and profit.

1573
02:09:55,860 --> 02:10:00,340
And the longer you let this attention center continue, the more it will suck the life out of California City

1574
02:10:00,340 --> 02:10:02,500
until your city is barely recognizable.

1575
02:10:03,340 --> 02:10:08,020
Having this attention center, we'll do that just as a Dittumans march, just two hours north of you.

1576
02:10:08,300 --> 02:10:12,300
Having a detention center there forever changed the landscape of the land.

1577
02:10:12,760 --> 02:10:15,180
Significantly affecting the land's water through extraction.

1578
02:10:15,180 --> 02:10:26,440
This detention center will overburden your water on top of just the horrible, violent human rights abuses it is already enacting.

1579
02:10:26,580 --> 02:10:29,920
And I know you care about your residents and your city, you must.

1580
02:10:30,560 --> 02:10:42,000
You can stop this by simply doing what you're elected to and force your own local laws by requiring the course of it by requiring course of it to apply for a conditional use permit.

1581
02:10:42,600 --> 02:10:46,880
I just want to say it was time I haven't so inspired by the other speakers of tonight.

1582
02:10:47,260 --> 02:10:49,210
And I hope you listen to us. Thank you.

1583
02:10:50,400 --> 02:10:51,400
Thank you.

1584
02:10:51,540 --> 02:10:55,520
Next person I don't want to miss pronounced the name that's up there.

1585
02:10:55,780 --> 02:10:58,340
But then it starts with Gabby in parentheses.

1586
02:11:02,580 --> 02:11:04,100
Yeah, it's been, it's really mean.

1587
02:11:05,460 --> 02:11:05,460
Yeah,

1588
02:11:07,840 --> 02:11:12,520
even as an immigrant, you're not coming to these meetings for a bit.

1589
02:11:12,520 --> 02:11:15,180
from the desire of San Jose.

1590
02:11:18,020 --> 02:11:23,760
It's very sad because you guys have blood in your hands already,

1591
02:11:24,260 --> 02:11:32,720
by allowing this to happen. By allowing it to happen and now we just know permits and just

1592
02:11:33,160 --> 02:11:45,010
having people win our animals, man. Win our animals. You understand? This is wrong and I told you

1593
02:11:45,010 --> 02:11:51,690
before, how can you go to sleep, how can you live with yourself. You have the chance to stop

1594
02:11:51,690 --> 02:11:57,050
saying this, no, you gotta go get your permit, whatever, you have a chance to

1595
02:11:59,070 --> 02:11:59,450
to the

1596
02:11:59,450 --> 02:12:07,290
regime and you will not do anything. What are you telling you, kids? I think you have all the kids,

1597
02:12:07,850 --> 02:12:13,670
right? What are you telling them? What kind of job are you doing as a public official?

1598
02:12:14,510 --> 02:12:22,730
They said, we tire, but we're resilient, and take me wrong, we're not going to stop.

1599
02:12:23,690 --> 02:12:24,330
You understand?

1600
02:12:26,010 --> 02:12:28,910
This has changed, you do in the Hitler's work.

1601
02:12:30,110 --> 02:12:32,210
This is not the intention centers.

1602
02:12:32,550 --> 02:12:34,490
This is concentration camps.

1603
02:12:34,550 --> 02:12:35,670
What is next?

1604
02:12:36,250 --> 02:12:37,110
God's chambers?

1605
02:12:38,330 --> 02:12:40,050
That was next for us?

1606
02:12:46,420 --> 02:12:47,220
Shame on you.

1607
02:12:49,250 --> 02:12:50,030
Our ancestors.

1608
02:12:50,030 --> 02:12:55,220
are watching or children

1609
02:12:59,220 --> 02:13:00,240
watching.

1610
02:13:05,090 --> 02:13:06,810
This is not going to last forever.

1611
02:13:10,100 --> 02:13:10,980
Some organizations

1612
02:13:10,980 --> 02:13:17,700
get together here in Sudha City and sue you guys severely because being here legally

1613
02:13:17,700 --> 02:13:28,060
is not a crime. It's a civil thing. Okay? It's a part in for that. Okay? And also it's not

1614
02:13:28,940 --> 02:13:34,880
to get us all, get us, if you guys get us, if the federal government

1615
02:13:34,880 --> 02:13:40,300
gave you a number, the S.A.I.T. number to pay taxes, and let me tell you

1616
02:13:40,300 --> 02:13:47,320
something, a hundred billion dollars I.G. and profit, this country is making

1617
02:13:47,320 --> 02:13:53,840
a bus. That's why they want to keep us in the shadows. That's why they want to

1618
02:13:53,840 --> 02:13:56,940
keep us in the shadows because we don't collect so security, we don't collect

1619
02:13:56,940 --> 02:14:03,140
who stamps, we don't qualify for housing, we don't qualify for help get, we don't qualify

1620
02:14:03,140 --> 02:14:07,460
for nothing, but we qualify to pay taxes.

1621
02:14:09,060 --> 02:14:09,640
Thank you.

1622
02:14:12,990 --> 02:14:17,790
Well, it looks like our empty chair got filled by the gentleman with the beard, so we'll

1623
02:14:17,790 --> 02:14:27,870
come back to you and whatever, okay, thank you for muting, gentlemen with the beard,

1624
02:14:27,870 --> 02:14:29,450
to just came back to your chair.

1625
02:14:29,610 --> 02:14:30,650
Please go ahead.

1626
02:14:33,220 --> 02:14:34,000
Good to meet you sir.

1627
02:14:34,140 --> 02:14:35,840
Yes sir, you got it.

1628
02:14:35,860 --> 02:14:36,560
All right.

1629
02:14:36,740 --> 02:14:37,500
Thank you guys.

1630
02:14:38,180 --> 02:14:39,280
Good evening, my name's Ever.

1631
02:14:39,480 --> 02:14:41,920
Formerly detained at California City.

1632
02:14:41,920 --> 02:14:44,520
I want to cite some California City violations,

1633
02:14:45,320 --> 02:14:47,260
but please I want to thank the commissioners

1634
02:14:47,260 --> 02:14:49,740
to please Alphazel and the facility

1635
02:14:50,220 --> 02:14:52,140
because it's very inhumane.

1636
02:14:52,400 --> 02:14:53,920
I was there from a personal account.

1637
02:14:54,040 --> 02:14:56,380
I'm going to tell you the following.

1638
02:14:56,380 --> 02:14:59,720
I'm August 29th, 2020 phase, we're transferred with us.

1639
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:05,840
Our private noise to our lawyers or families or ourselves, upon arrival, we were padded down in a sectioning

1640
02:15:05,840 --> 02:15:12,140
a truce of way where our private's were touched and wrote, I found never felt so uncomfortable in my life.

1641
02:15:12,760 --> 02:15:19,780
Having multiple officers everywhere we were padded down sectioning, private's were touched for the yard,

1642
02:15:19,840 --> 02:15:27,320
a private's were touched for the medical. It's a very military camp I would say is not even a detention facility.

1643
02:15:27,320 --> 02:15:32,320
The medical neglect is rampant.

1644
02:15:32,320 --> 02:15:37,920
I have back follows and I ask for a back raise and I'll soon be told that they don't provide that there.

1645
02:15:39,080 --> 02:15:43,220
I've heard a thousand people grow without less for over two weeks.

1646
02:15:44,040 --> 02:15:50,540
Another one went to medical and man down because he had severe stomach pains and couldn't even walk.

1647
02:15:50,900 --> 02:15:55,600
Upon arrival to medical, it told him that he could buy the medicine himself, a commissary.

1648
02:15:55,600 --> 02:15:59,960
He said that he was a severe family he needed help and they gave him two options.

1649
02:16:00,300 --> 02:16:00,820
It's all the other.

1650
02:16:00,940 --> 02:16:05,180
You go to the solitary attic or we take you back to yourself.

1651
02:16:05,720 --> 02:16:10,320
But he was forced to go back to himself because he was thrown with solitary confinement

1652
02:16:10,320 --> 02:16:14,640
by the medical personnel and officers there.

1653
02:16:14,900 --> 02:16:17,060
People's sightness were discontinued.

1654
02:16:17,540 --> 02:16:23,420
People were going through really hard times because they couldn't function without the

1655
02:16:23,420 --> 02:16:32,140
conference, property was lost since day one, upon transfer from out of that place, one

1656
02:16:32,140 --> 02:16:37,540
detainee asked for a sample that was missing for his property and sent facility staff

1657
02:16:37,540 --> 02:16:42,420
50 told them that they were going to look for it, but never did. Then all of a sudden we

1658
02:16:42,420 --> 02:16:47,240
accidentally got pepper sprayed and left it to a holding tank for over 2 hours and that's

1659
02:16:47,240 --> 02:16:52,380
when we were taking out and changed and finally a nurse came and asked us to bring water. That's

1660
02:16:52,380 --> 02:16:57,120
We talked about that until we were a pepper spread and choking, we had to hang on the windows

1661
02:16:57,120 --> 02:17:01,480
and tell them that we were choking and the holy taste because we were a pepper spread.

1662
02:17:03,880 --> 02:17:08,560
The wherers fix out against these people and the facility, that's where a lot of people

1663
02:17:08,560 --> 02:17:14,320
are remaining in anonymous, if you notice, because retaliation is mandatory, they're going to

1664
02:17:14,320 --> 02:17:17,440
come for you, they're going to take you to the home, they're going to find a reason to take

1665
02:17:17,440 --> 02:17:21,440
you to the home, whether you're in the shower late or count or anything.

1666
02:17:21,440 --> 02:17:24,460
Speaking of cows, there's excessively a lot of cows

1667
02:17:24,460 --> 02:17:27,580
there, six count cents in which we're locked in ourselves

1668
02:17:27,580 --> 02:17:31,240
we're over two hours, there are numerous officers

1669
02:17:31,240 --> 02:17:34,880
walking counting, like they can't count 80 or so

1670
02:17:34,880 --> 02:17:39,380
individuals in every pot, and the way I see it as a way

1671
02:17:39,380 --> 02:17:41,660
for them to take a break because they're being overly

1672
02:17:41,660 --> 02:17:42,280
worked,

1673
02:17:45,320 --> 02:17:47,220
they want us to have three cells, but they'll

1674
02:17:47,220 --> 02:17:51,340
provide cleaning materials, sanitation, disinfectant,

1675
02:17:51,440 --> 02:17:53,520
for example, there's none exist in there, they only

1676
02:17:53,520 --> 02:17:56,880
bring very enough to clean the shower.

1677
02:17:57,780 --> 02:17:58,780
What's less or less or less?

1678
02:17:58,920 --> 02:18:00,200
Okay, thank you, sir.

1679
02:18:00,440 --> 02:18:01,680
Sorry your time is up.

1680
02:18:01,680 --> 02:18:03,000
We'll be thinking for a little.

1681
02:18:03,120 --> 02:18:03,740
Thank you, sir.

1682
02:18:03,820 --> 02:18:04,920
Thank you.

1683
02:18:05,800 --> 02:18:07,840
Next is Rosa Lopez.

1684
02:18:14,270 --> 02:18:15,550
I'm sorry, I'm calling for my phone.

1685
02:18:15,710 --> 02:18:16,230
Can you hear me?

1686
02:18:16,430 --> 02:18:17,950
Yes, we can, please go ahead.

1687
02:18:18,990 --> 02:18:20,610
Okay, yes.

1688
02:18:20,830 --> 02:18:21,830
Today, my name is Rosa.

1689
02:18:22,230 --> 02:18:24,210
And I was unable to attend the percent

1690
02:18:24,210 --> 02:18:27,390
because of the attempt to bypass this matter

1691
02:18:27,390 --> 02:18:31,830
under the rug, you know, to, as an end of the rug and by

1692
02:18:31,830 --> 02:18:35,950
past the requirement of SB 29, which mandates that any business

1693
02:18:35,950 --> 02:18:38,850
license permits or other instrument, authorized and

1694
02:18:38,850 --> 02:18:42,310
immigration attention, definitely must include two public

1695
02:18:42,310 --> 02:18:47,350
hearings and provide the public with 180 days. This hearing does not

1696
02:18:47,350 --> 02:18:51,810
need that requirement. Anything short of that fails to satisfy the laws

1697
02:18:51,810 --> 02:18:55,310
intent of transparency and meaningful public participation.

1698
02:18:55,310 --> 02:19:18,150
But I'm really moved by the people who were able to show up, you know, really last minute because this hearing was scheduled very last minute because we are really worried with the direction that this decision is going and we are here tonight to urge you to use your authority to protect the community.

1699
02:19:18,150 --> 02:19:26,210
At a minimum, the city must require a core civic to apply for the correct permit, a conditional use permit.

1700
02:19:27,110 --> 02:19:31,150
Any permit previously associated with the facility does not apply.

1701
02:19:31,870 --> 02:19:40,050
As it formally operated as a state present, immigration processing center could not be grandfathered into prior permits or contract.

1702
02:19:40,050 --> 02:19:44,670
There is currently a pending lawsuit against California City and, of course,

1703
02:19:44,850 --> 02:19:51,270
with challenging this exact violations, violations of SB-29, and the city's failure

1704
02:19:51,270 --> 02:19:57,150
to follow required local legal and public processes before we opening this facility

1705
02:19:57,150 --> 02:19:59,250
as an in-equation detention center.

1706
02:19:59,930 --> 02:20:04,370
The California City Council has attempted to downplay this issue by claiming its

1707
02:20:04,370 --> 02:20:10,770
a federal matter, or that they've said that they've visited the facility and it looks

1708
02:20:10,770 --> 02:20:17,250
fine to them. This is not solely a federal issue. It's also a matter of local authority

1709
02:20:17,250 --> 02:20:24,490
and the enforcement of local law. The city has both authority and the discretion to deny

1710
02:20:24,490 --> 02:20:29,270
a condition on this permit, because as you heard from testimonies of the testimonies,

1711
02:20:29,270 --> 02:20:32,710
that this is not what our community need.

1712
02:20:32,910 --> 02:20:39,150
Our urge to exercise our power and the interest of transparency, accountability, and human dignity.

1713
02:20:40,150 --> 02:20:46,210
I'm here pleading again, pleading you the planning commission to take immediate action

1714
02:20:46,210 --> 02:20:51,110
and enforce California's cities, municipal codes, and protect public safety.

1715
02:20:51,730 --> 02:20:58,270
Failure to act enables a lawful conduct and allow human right violations to continue unchecked.

1716
02:20:58,270 --> 02:21:05,150
As you've heard from numerous types of morning, since our lovely detainee, people in August of this year,

1717
02:21:05,550 --> 02:21:11,930
hundreds of complaints from detainee individuals that are using etiquette have documented deplorable conditions,

1718
02:21:12,690 --> 02:21:27,970
ongoing abuse, neglect, retaliation, UN, the California City Health Department, the legal and ethical obligation to enforce our local order and protect the community that is affected by this facility.

1719
02:21:28,270 --> 02:21:35,210
I play with you once again, that you will sound the right side of history, and exercise our power

1720
02:21:35,210 --> 02:21:40,130
to hold course over the count of rule, because no one in no corporation is above the law.

1721
02:21:40,530 --> 02:21:47,000
Thank you. Next is Interfaith Ministries, I think that is.

1722
02:21:48,770 --> 02:21:55,850
Hi, good evening. My name is Reverend Deborah Lee, and I'm the co-director of a statewide

1723
02:21:55,850 --> 02:22:00,830
organization called Interface Movement for Human Integrity, and we bring together people

1724
02:22:00,830 --> 02:22:06,310
a faith, faith leaders, and people a faith people trying to live out their faith in a way of

1725
02:22:06,310 --> 02:22:11,810
integrity. And what does it mean to be a person of faith in the complex and challenging times that we live?

1726
02:22:12,610 --> 02:22:18,250
One of our core beliefs is that every person is a great, every person is a child of God.

1727
02:22:19,150 --> 02:22:23,970
Every person has dignity, and that has been evident in this call tonight. We've heard from

1728
02:22:23,970 --> 02:22:29,330
ever. We've heard from Jonathan. We've heard from Gabriel. We've heard from Monica about her father

1729
02:22:29,330 --> 02:22:38,630
and Raphael, from his mother, and we bring to mind a father who was snatched away from his six

1730
02:22:38,630 --> 02:22:44,450
month old at his green card appointment. So there are so many children of God that are living in

1731
02:22:44,450 --> 02:22:51,870
your community and are being deprived of their basic humanity. There's an elderly Vietnamese monk

1732
02:22:51,870 --> 02:22:57,510
who, you know, was detained from a monastery did not, does not speak much English.

1733
02:22:57,710 --> 02:23:01,530
He has memory problems, and he could not remember any of his contacts.

1734
02:23:01,590 --> 02:23:04,390
He has a daughter, but he didn't know how to contact her.

1735
02:23:04,590 --> 02:23:06,330
I was no information at all.

1736
02:23:06,390 --> 02:23:11,790
These are the people who are getting lost and harmed by this institution in your community.

1737
02:23:12,510 --> 02:23:15,930
I am haunted by the words and the letter that I received that said,

1738
02:23:15,950 --> 02:23:17,530
please, we need help.

1739
02:23:17,690 --> 02:23:21,030
We have no medicine, and we do not have enough food.

1740
02:23:21,490 --> 02:23:27,190
people are being denied religious services. They're being denied contact visits, just the basic

1741
02:23:27,190 --> 02:23:32,530
ability to speak with their loved one, not through glass and a broken phone. And you could

1742
02:23:32,530 --> 02:23:36,950
say the quality of the phone that we heard today. And being just being denied communication

1743
02:23:36,950 --> 02:23:42,830
in general, they're being denied letters that I have sent in. I could go on and on, but I just

1744
02:23:42,830 --> 02:23:47,710
want to say that the choice, you have a choice. And I probably, I'm guessing that many of

1745
02:23:47,710 --> 02:23:52,870
people to face and you have a choice. And I want to say, we are here to give you courage.

1746
02:23:53,070 --> 02:23:57,350
We are here to tell you that you're not alone and we all stand in this moment in history

1747
02:23:57,870 --> 02:24:03,750
to make courageous decisions. I want you to please hear the cries that you have heard tonight.

1748
02:24:05,670 --> 02:24:10,170
Jesus says that the greatest, I'm a Christian. I want to say that Jesus says that the greatest

1749
02:24:10,170 --> 02:24:14,310
two commandments are to love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. And then

1750
02:24:14,310 --> 02:24:20,790
The second is to love your neighbor as yourself, and so I'm asking you to just love your neighbor,

1751
02:24:21,190 --> 02:24:26,550
and to decide with your neighbors, not the billionaire corporations who don't give a damn about you,

1752
02:24:26,770 --> 02:24:30,090
and who use their money to circumvent democracy in California.

1753
02:24:30,890 --> 02:24:35,250
When the legislature California already said that private detention isn't immoral business,

1754
02:24:35,470 --> 02:24:38,450
they threw their dollars at it, and they circumvent a democracy.

1755
02:24:38,910 --> 02:24:42,230
They don't care about Californians, they only care about their shareholders.

1756
02:24:42,230 --> 02:24:47,450
So asking you to side with the people, their voices will haunt you, their traumas will

1757
02:24:47,450 --> 02:24:47,930
haunt you.

1758
02:24:48,170 --> 02:24:51,090
But we are here to stand with you and you could join the lawsuits.

1759
02:24:51,410 --> 02:24:52,890
California City has already been sued twice.

1760
02:24:53,010 --> 02:24:57,310
You could join our lawsuits against Corsidic for opening up illegally.

1761
02:24:57,610 --> 02:25:05,290
I'm asking you to do this for your own moral soul and to take courage and to take

1762
02:25:05,810 --> 02:25:09,630
your faith at the deepest core level, it is to guide you in the right decision.

1763
02:25:10,070 --> 02:25:10,430
Thank you.

1764
02:25:10,430 --> 02:25:21,090
Thank you. The next one, I cannot see a person, and I, but there. Is it Judith?

1765
02:25:23,570 --> 02:25:27,730
Is there a person there? Or are they facing the other direction?

1766
02:25:32,120 --> 02:25:33,900
Oh, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't,

1767
02:25:36,600 --> 02:25:37,320
don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. It's the

1768
02:25:37,320 --> 02:25:39,260
And I sent him a guy, okay.

1769
02:25:39,780 --> 02:25:42,440
Oh, Judith, I remember from the council meeting now.

1770
02:25:42,900 --> 02:25:43,660
Okay, I'm with you.

1771
02:25:44,400 --> 02:25:48,820
Okay, let's, yeah, I understand.

1772
02:25:49,460 --> 02:25:51,800
I, as you can tell, from up here,

1773
02:25:51,960 --> 02:25:53,460
you can't see much on that board.

1774
02:25:54,600 --> 02:25:56,800
Okay, we have to listen.

1775
02:25:58,380 --> 02:26:00,900
Hi, I'm so sorry that it's hard to see me

1776
02:26:00,900 --> 02:26:02,260
on a faster and a car.

1777
02:26:02,480 --> 02:26:04,500
And I think you can only kind of get my shadow

1778
02:26:04,500 --> 02:26:07,180
if there's headlights or street lights,

1779
02:26:07,180 --> 02:26:16,420
But I really want it to come and talk to and urge you again and again to, to give

1780
02:26:16,420 --> 02:26:17,660
it a course of it.

1781
02:26:17,960 --> 02:26:27,090
I mean, they don't have a permit, you know they are keeping people in degrading and horrible

1782
02:26:27,090 --> 02:26:38,270
conditions and I'm urging you as someone that is a person of faith to treat favors with

1783
02:26:38,270 --> 02:26:50,130
but not with cruelty. And it doesn't even take a person to face to say, I mean, you don't have to be affiliated with any face to have a moral compass that says, this is wrong.

1784
02:26:52,050 --> 02:26:56,250
And I know that doing the right thing is to say,

1785
02:26:56,250 --> 02:27:14,210
So you have to have a permit. No, actually, if you apply for a permit, well, you don't want to. We don't want you in California. We don't want you to harm our neighbors. We don't want you to hurt people as you, as you rip families apart. We don't want you to keep people in terrible conditions.

1786
02:27:15,610 --> 02:27:18,970
And we just don't want it. We just don't want this in California.

1787
02:27:21,170 --> 02:27:26,510
And California, we are exactly where we state this, this goes to get everything.

1788
02:27:27,670 --> 02:27:36,170
I urge you please, please, please, to require a permit, application, and then when they apply, to deny it.

1789
02:27:36,350 --> 02:27:42,970
Because this is a horrible, horrible stain on our state, on our history.

1790
02:27:42,970 --> 02:27:58,090
And I just urge you to do the right thing and get rid of this or from our state, from your state, just get rid of it.

1791
02:28:00,540 --> 02:28:01,040
Thank you.

1792
02:28:01,440 --> 02:28:02,800
Okay, thank you.

1793
02:28:03,200 --> 02:28:03,560
Okay.

1794
02:28:04,840 --> 02:28:13,260
The next one is D&D interpreter again, but you're already spoke once.

1795
02:28:16,290 --> 02:28:20,110
I was able to interpret tonight, I'd like to share my own comments.

1796
02:28:20,170 --> 02:28:22,270
Okay, this is your own personal, that's fine.

1797
02:28:22,770 --> 02:28:24,290
Okay. Please go ahead.

1798
02:28:25,570 --> 02:28:27,010
All right. Thank you. Hello, everyone.

1799
02:28:27,610 --> 02:28:29,010
How good do you need my name is Alejandra?

1800
02:28:30,170 --> 02:28:32,490
I am a member of the Dignanah Detention Coalition.

1801
02:28:32,530 --> 02:28:36,270
It's a state-wide coalition where a lot of our members are here,

1802
02:28:36,490 --> 02:28:40,570
where we fight to help decarcerate our community members

1803
02:28:40,570 --> 02:28:48,310
the detention centers, how to create strategies to close down detention centers, and build strategies

1804
02:28:48,310 --> 02:28:53,190
together and build leadership of families and factor. So I'm very proud of all the folks

1805
02:28:53,190 --> 02:28:59,510
that share their story today to be able to share from inside of detention centers and speak out

1806
02:28:59,510 --> 02:29:04,610
against this issue. It's just really amazing that that that that that that's able to happen

1807
02:29:04,610 --> 02:29:08,250
that you all can hear from them. As somebody who's been detained in a core civic detention center,

1808
02:29:09,310 --> 02:29:16,010
I can attest that they're all the same, they're all for profit, they're all there to destroy

1809
02:29:16,010 --> 02:29:21,730
communities and give a vision of like a thriving economy where all it does is really devastating

1810
02:29:21,730 --> 02:29:27,230
people. And I think the cool part about which you are facing here today, all of the people

1811
02:29:27,230 --> 02:29:33,290
who can talk to you about these permits, if you are actually revoke a permit or a night as permit,

1812
02:29:33,290 --> 02:29:38,310
like Yalkin automatically be eligible to apply for heel funding.

1813
02:29:40,250 --> 02:29:44,250
Keele is a budget initiative that the D&D coalition helped pass

1814
02:29:44,250 --> 02:29:48,470
a dedicated $5 million to incentivize California localities to

1815
02:29:48,470 --> 02:29:52,230
divest from immigration detention by providing them funding to invest

1816
02:29:52,230 --> 02:29:55,670
in new industries and dignified jobs and economies.

1817
02:29:56,370 --> 02:29:58,970
As many as being held by the workforce development statewide,

1818
02:30:00,180 --> 02:30:30,160
And by denying these permits, you all can tap into this money and collaborate with local communities to envision how you can bring jobs that are not just good for the land, not just good for the future, not just good for your economy, but dignified well-paying jobs, and you can work with community to apply for this and it's a great opportunity to work to again envision with your local members, which we all want to see in California city. We keep being sold, right? But there's only this way of making a decision

1819
02:30:30,160 --> 02:30:39,940
money and this economy off of our backs and and we are saying no we don't want that it's clear here so again we are willing to work with you all to talk more about heal

1820
02:30:39,940 --> 02:30:49,860
to envision what can be done by tapping into this $5 million and work with and work out with the workforce development and that's all thank you.

1821
02:30:49,860 --> 02:30:50,860
Thank you.

1822
02:30:51,760 --> 02:30:54,200
Next person, last name is Martinez.

1823
02:30:56,580 --> 02:30:58,300
Yes, hello, Regan.

1824
02:30:59,520 --> 02:31:00,820
My name is Sarai Martinez.

1825
02:31:01,200 --> 02:31:05,780
I am with St. Andy Hennado Organizaciones de Nacionales,

1826
02:31:05,940 --> 02:31:08,180
which is an organization that works

1827
02:31:08,180 --> 02:31:11,460
with an organization with indigenous farm workers.

1828
02:31:12,800 --> 02:31:16,980
And some of our folks and our members are most impacted

1829
02:31:16,980 --> 02:31:30,640
As we know, we have a administration that really targets people by the skin color, not so much by, you know, like their background or criminal record as they keep cleaning.

1830
02:31:31,680 --> 02:31:35,360
So we're here today, really just to echo what everyone's saying.

1831
02:31:35,840 --> 02:31:44,220
I think you have heard a lot from direct testimonies from people taking and kind of pill to what angle that's going to move you.

1832
02:31:44,220 --> 02:32:13,940
But to me, it's really asking for the council for you to really do your job looking at local permitting to ensure that you're following the law, to make sure that transparency and democracy, you have so many people here that do not represent the values, of course, civic and I'm sure and I'm hoping that it doesn't represent the values that you hold, transparency and democracy and the impact that are going to have on your law,

1833
02:32:13,940 --> 02:32:20,620
economy and workers rights from people that work and those attention centers not only

1834
02:32:20,620 --> 02:32:26,140
the violation that happens for people that are detained but also from the own people that work

1835
02:32:26,140 --> 02:32:32,680
there and not to mention all the environmental impacts of course if they could be in there so

1836
02:32:32,680 --> 02:32:39,140
again I don't think there's much to say I'm hoping that you hear what people share today

1837
02:32:39,140 --> 02:32:45,360
And what they've been sharing all this time and that you listen and most important that you do your job.

1838
02:32:45,900 --> 02:32:47,660
So with that, thank you for listening.

1839
02:32:49,420 --> 02:32:50,480
Okay, thank you so much.

1840
02:32:51,880 --> 02:32:57,620
Okay, there's no more hands on Zoom and everybody in the chamber has spoke.

1841
02:32:58,300 --> 02:33:01,800
So that will conclude our public comment portion.

1842
02:33:02,440 --> 02:33:09,040
According to the hearing sequence, we come back to the commission for any final comments by commissioners.

1843
02:33:09,140 --> 02:33:11,440
Commissioner Coleman you have anything?

1844
02:33:14,550 --> 02:33:20,890
She doesn't. Commissioner Cantra. Yeah, we had a few comments if I could Mr. Chairman.

1845
02:33:22,070 --> 02:33:30,250
First and foremost, I want to thank everybody for taking time out of their day to come and speak their mind.

1846
02:33:30,370 --> 02:33:35,030
I think that this is democracy at its best.

1847
02:33:35,030 --> 02:33:42,130
I mean, if you have an opinion and you're allowed to express it, I think that's an important

1848
02:33:42,130 --> 02:33:42,850
concept.

1849
02:33:43,010 --> 02:33:46,370
And I thank you for speaking up.

1850
02:33:47,990 --> 02:33:57,170
I've heard a lot of testimony tonight that is very emotional and is very, very hard

1851
02:33:57,170 --> 02:33:58,090
to process.

1852
02:33:59,450 --> 02:34:03,490
I want everybody to know that I believe in the rule of law.

1853
02:34:03,490 --> 02:34:11,570
I believe that our mayor's honest, and he believes in the rule of law, and the council,

1854
02:34:12,310 --> 02:34:17,350
the attorneys that advise the city, believe in the rule of law.

1855
02:34:19,390 --> 02:34:26,690
And if you do believe in the rule of law, you then you're guided by the law to do the right thing.

1856
02:34:26,690 --> 02:34:55,430
Okay, I'm sure that these matters are an area that I have no personal expertise, but I fully, fully cognizant and believe in my heart of hearts that we have people who know how to adjudicate these things and I believe that they will indeed follow them.

1857
02:34:56,710 --> 02:35:03,310
So with that said, thank you, Mr. Chairman, for my time tonight.

1858
02:35:04,490 --> 02:35:05,650
Okay, thank you.

1859
02:35:06,510 --> 02:35:15,090
I only had one comment as a reminder to the public on this hearing that if you read the agenda,

1860
02:35:15,090 --> 02:35:21,910
and you heard what our planning director read half of the agenda,

1861
02:35:23,030 --> 02:35:37,390
that all of these comments and in our part of an administrative record, I don't know how many of you know that all of these meetings, both Council and the Commission, they're all recorded.

1862
02:35:37,930 --> 02:35:47,330
So if you ever want to go back and look, but that is also going to be the source for the people that do make the decision, that's in this agenda.

1863
02:35:47,330 --> 02:35:52,710
that will be their source of information because your comments are now on record.

1864
02:35:53,630 --> 02:35:57,010
So, I assure you that the information will not be lost.

1865
02:35:58,350 --> 02:36:09,130
So, with that, I have no further comments and because we are not requested or have a action to take,

1866
02:36:09,470 --> 02:36:13,830
I'm going to declare the hearing over and we will move on.

1867
02:36:14,890 --> 02:36:27,110
The last thing for the night is commissioner comments, this portion of the meeting is reserved for planning commissioners to resent information, announcements and items that have come to their attention.

1868
02:36:27,110 --> 02:36:30,890
Stat short staff responses may be appropriate.

1869
02:36:31,550 --> 02:36:34,250
The Planning Commission will take no formal action.

1870
02:36:34,950 --> 02:36:40,590
The Planning Commission may request to calendar an item for consideration at a future

1871
02:36:40,590 --> 02:36:43,990
meeting or refer an item to staff.

1872
02:36:44,970 --> 02:36:51,550
I would like to remind the commissioners that when we get to this portion and I'm doing

1873
02:36:51,550 --> 02:36:56,170
this because we still have brand new commissioners sitting up here and our other lady that

1874
02:36:56,170 --> 02:37:02,930
up here that had an emergency, they're still pretty new. But as a reminder of under the commissioner

1875
02:37:02,930 --> 02:37:09,470
comments, please remember that this is for anything in the future and announcements. It's not

1876
02:37:09,470 --> 02:37:15,470
to make comments on anything that's transpired during the meeting on any other agenda item. So

1877
02:37:15,470 --> 02:37:18,810
with that said, commissioner Coleman, do you have anything tonight?

1878
02:37:20,890 --> 02:37:23,130
I just want to say the parade is

1879
02:37:23,130 --> 02:37:27,010
on the 20th if I'm correct, and I hope to see y'all at the parade.

1880
02:37:27,430 --> 02:37:30,370
Okay. Christmas parade. Right. Back home?

1881
02:37:31,130 --> 02:37:33,930
Yes. Okay. Commissioner Canterra.

1882
02:37:34,350 --> 02:37:36,930
No, nothing at this time. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

1883
02:37:37,330 --> 02:37:46,790
Okay. I have nothing for this particular portion of the meeting. Could I have a motion to adjourn?

1884
02:37:48,230 --> 02:37:50,850
I hereby make a motion that we adjourn.

1885
02:37:50,850 --> 02:37:52,870
I second it.

1886
02:37:53,750 --> 02:37:55,850
Could we have roll callable please?

1887
02:37:58,960 --> 02:37:59,940
Commissioner Coleman.

1888
02:38:01,020 --> 02:38:01,100
Yes.

1889
02:38:01,620 --> 02:38:02,460
Commissioner Cantrell.

1890
02:38:03,060 --> 02:38:03,260
Yes.

1891
02:38:03,520 --> 02:38:04,380
And Chairman Browen.

1892
02:38:04,840 --> 02:38:04,940
Yes.

1893
02:38:06,140 --> 02:38:07,420
Meetings adjourned.

1894
