San Antonio committee president urges calm, asks staff for informational presentation on immigration-enforcement concerns

Summary

The committee president acknowledged community worries about immigration enforcement elsewhere in the U.S., said she was not aware of similar activity occurring in San Antonio, and asked staff to prepare an informational presentation for a future meeting so residents know their rights and available protections.

At the start of the meeting the committee president addressed community concern about immigration enforcement actions reported elsewhere in the country and asked staff to provide an informational presentation at a future meeting.

Presidenta Cabello Jábrida said she wanted to reassure residents that, while there have been reports of enforcement activity in other cities, she had not been made aware of comparable actions in San Antonio and asked staff to prepare a presentation so the public could better understand rights and local resources. The president emphasized that the conversation should remain constructive and that staff should return with information for future meetings.

No formal motion or ordinance resulted from the remark; the president’s request was recorded as direction to staff to prepare the informational presentation for a future committee meeting.
