sweeping proposal to restructure San Bernardino’s city government was halted Monday night, Feb. 2nd, after Mayor Helen Tran vetoed a 4–3 City Council vote that would have moved a charter amendment toward the June 2, 2026 ballot.

The last-minute special meeting, held at Feldheym Central Library, drew more than 200 residents who overwhelmingly

opposed the proposal, which would have ended the city’s directly elected mayor’s office and replaced it with a mayor chosen from the council. The measure also proposed City Council term limits of three consecutive terms beginning with officials elected in 2026.

Despite hours of public testimony warning against what speakers described as a rushed and anti-democratic process, Mayor Pro Tem Kim Knaus and Councilmembers Theodore Sanchez, Fred Shorett and Juan

Figueroa voted to move the measure forward.

Immediately after the vote, Tran vetoed the action.

“And as the at large mayor per the charter, I can veto 4-3, I am vetoing this action. And this is the power of the people. I am exercising the right that you all have called us to do,” Tran said.

into the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and pass reforms aimed at stricter accountability for immigration enforcement.

“DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must be fired or we will remove her through impeachment,” Aguilar said.

Aguilar, joined by Rep. Mark Takano and Rep. Dr. Raul Ruiz, delivered the message from across the street from the ICE field

office, alongside immigrant-rights advocates including the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), and the Immigrant Defenders Law Center.

Aguilar framed the press conference around what he described as a rapidly escalating pattern of violence by federal ICE, cont. next pg.

SB Special Meeting (cont.)

- Councilmembers Sandra Ibarra, Treasure Ortiz and Mario Flores voted against advancing the ballot measure, aligning with the opposition voiced throughout the meeting.

Tensions escalated during council discussion as Sanchez sought to shift the conversation toward a substitute approach involving the city’s Charter Review Committee and the potential reinstatement of Scott Olsen to the committee.

Best Best & Krieger City Attorney Albert Maldonado clarified the item’s purpose: "Tonight's proposal is asking for staff direction to work up the charter amendment.”

Sanchez responded, “That would be what I would like to discuss at Wednesday’s [council] meeting.”

Maldonado pressed for clarity, telling Sanchez, “So you want to continue the discussion? And discuss giving staff direction this Wednesday and call another special meeting, there is enough time; since we only need 24 hours to do that.”

Sanchez answered that delaying action could also open the door to committee appointments, “And that would allow the council to also consider the appointment of Scott Olsen to the Charter Committee. If in fact he has been taken off.”

Ortiz rejected that framing, warning it would effectively bypass the Charter Review Committee’s purpose and compress public discussion into an unrealistic timeline.

“It’s completely disingenuous to say that the appointment of Scott Olsen, which won't be agendized for Wednesday [Feb. 4th], because it has not been brought forward. Your plan is not to convene the Charter Committee, it is to pass these amendments, and so the charter committee is Null and Void by moving forward,” Ortiz said. “So the substitute motion is what allows the charter committee to come forward and give Councilwoman Ibarra adequate time to reinstate her person [to the Charter Committee] at the meeting on Feb. 18th, and move away from putting this on any primary so that we can have proper discussion.”

As the meeting stretched late, Ortiz delivered a final, blistering rebuke aimed at what she described as a continued effort to work around the committee and public opposition.

“That is absolute crap, so you [Sanchez] care nothing about the charter committee moving forward because you don't need their recommendation, you want to approve it, regardless of the fact that the charter committee was here tonight and 144 people told you not to do this, so what lie? We are 4.5 hours past that point,” Ortiz said. “You don't care and you think Councilwoman Ibarra is just oblivious to what is going on and that is absolutely rude and disrespectful.

You want to move forward regardless of the fact that the community is not educated in what we're doing and not in favor of it and you're going to do what you want to do.”

Community speakers repeatedly argued that eliminating the elected mayor would weaken accountability and destabilize regional representation.

Former Councilman Damon Alexander warned that a rotating or councilselected mayor model would not function for a city of San Bernardino’s size and responsibilities.

“There is no way a part time person can run the size of this city,” Alexander said, arguing that the mayor’s office is central to regional boards and the pursuit of grants and projects.

Former Councilwoman Kim Calvin urged residents to remain engaged beyond a single meeting, saying officials “plan on you being reactionary,” and criticized convening a special meeting “at taxpayers expense.”

Business owner David Friedman framed the proposal as power consolidation, not reform.

“What is being proposed here tonight is not about good governance. It's about control,” Friedman said. “You are taking away our right to vote.”

San Bernardino High School student Andy Fuentes tied the debate to civic trust and what young residents learn about democracy.

“Let’s stop pretending this is harmless reform. This is anti-democratic,” Fuentes said. “I may not have a ballot yet, but I have eyes, I have ears and I have a conscience. And I know that this isn't right.”

Charter Review Committee member Tim Prince said the proposal sidestepped the charter’s intended process and followed years of inaction on fully restoring the committee’s work.

“Any legitimate proposal goes to the charter review committee,” Prince said. “Your proposal is unvetted. Your proposal is unaccountable.”

City of Adelanto Mayor Gabriel Reyes urged the council to preserve an elected mayor, describing the role as full-time, region-facing leadership that cannot be replicated through a rotating or council-selected model.

“When politics are trying to be played and power is trying to be stolen, those things need to be shut down immediately,” Reyes said.

After Tran’s veto, the council adopted a separate substitute motion introduced by Councilwoman Ortiz and seconded by Councilman Flores directing the city manager to reconvene the Charter Review Committee to discuss concerns raised by councilmembers and the community. The substitute motion passed 5–2, with Sanchez and Shorett voting no.

Tran closed by thanking residents for filling the room.

“Thank you to the people of the city of San Bernardino. You showed up strong, because we work for you,” Tran said. “Tonight the people of San Bernardino were heard and remember that San Bernardino belongs to the people.”

- immigration agents and the lack of transparency surrounding enforcement operations and detention conditions.

Ruiz described severe health complaints and argued that such incidents are not isolated.

“Now, this weekend, the American people watched with their own eyes as federal immigration agents executed a peaceful protester in Alex Pretti,” Aguilar said. “Alex Pretti was a VA nurse who dedicated himself to serving veterans and saving lives, only to have his taken in the most horrific way possible. What was the Trump administration's response? To cover up the truth and to slander Alex as a domestic terrorist and a violent assassin.”

“He received no help as he suffered from severe chest pains and stomach pain. But he was given only pills and neglected and these are no isolated incidents,” Ruiz said. “In the first two weeks of 2026 alone, at least six people have died in ICE custody.”

Aguilar said the cases of Pretti and Renée Good marked a breaking point.

“For a year, Americans have witnessed ICE’s complete disregard for human life.

The killings of Alex and Renee Goode are the latest and last straw,” Aguilar said. “People are dying in detention centers. Children like 5 year old Liam Ramos are being snatched after preschool. Masked ICE agents and Border Patrol agents are invading homes without warrants. And protesters are being murdered for exercising their constitutionally protected rights.”

But the most immediate flashpoint emphasized by lawmakers and advocates was what happened earlier that morning in the High Desert: Rep. Ruiz said he was denied entry to the Adelanto ICE detention facility during a scheduled oversight visit — the second time he said he has been blocked after attempting to follow the facility’s stated process.

“They read me a script saying that I needed to give seven day notice, read an email that I was supposed to email and then when I informed them that I did that, [even though I believed that giving seven day notice and their process was illegal and was confirmed by the December 17, 2025 ruling on the lawsuit Neguse et al. v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement et al., which I'm one of the plaintiffs, they said that their new process since January 8th requires a consent and acknowledgement of that email,” Ruiz said. “And since I didn't get it even after I sent the initial email on January 20th and then again on January 26th informing them of my arrival, they denied me because they didn't respond.”

Ruiz said the policy effectively allows ICE officials to prevent oversight simply by ignoring a lawmaker’s request.

“So what that means is that they can willfully choose to ignore a member of Congress’ request and state that if you did not follow the process and we did not respond, then you cannot enter. So what's the whole point of a process?” Ruiz said. “So that means it doesn't matter if there are seven days, it doesn't matter if it's 30 days or 40 months. If they choose not to respond, they choose to violate the law and not allow a member of Congress who has the constitutional right to provide observation and investigation and oversight and federal agency that we are funding. And that is dangerous for the American people.”

Ruiz linked the denial in Adelanto to what he said are urgent concerns about medical neglect, overcrowding, and deaths in custody, referencing the case of Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, a 68-year-old Honduran national who was in ICE custody pending removal proceedings and died Jan. 6 after being transferred to a hospital in Indio for medical evaluation. Yanez-Cruz was transferred to a medical unit on Jan. 4 after reporting chest pain and later died at John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital, where he was

Ruiz said oversight is necessary because the public cannot see what happens inside federal detention centers.

“If they are brutalizing and killing individuals in open daylight in front of individuals who are observing and recording, what are they doing behind closed doors in these detention centers?” Ruiz said.

He added that his office has heard reports about “shelter and overcrowded spaces” and people being unable to access medications for chronic illnesses, and said he is working to introduce the “Humanitarian Standards for Individuals in ICE and CBP Custody act” “in order to prevent deaths and to protect human dignity.”

Ruiz also said fear is spreading beyond noncitizens to U.S. citizens who, he argued, may be stopped and questioned by unidentified armed agents.

“US Citizens are living in fear of having masked, unmarked cars, unidentified individuals with guns, pulling them over and demanding to show their proof of citizenship or be brutally arrested and detained,” Ruiz said. “That is not America, and that is why we must end it now and today.”

Aguilar said reforms must include measures that narrow enforcement authority and increase transparency.

“Republicans need to join with Democrats in passing reforms that include unmasking and identifying these agents, requiring warrants for enforcement actions, protecting sensitive locations like churches, schools, hospitals, stopping detention and deportation of US Citizens, and prosecuting officers who violate the Constitution and human rights and have real standards for use of force training,” Aguilar said. “Moving forward, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. We'll accept nothing less.”

Immigrant Coalition for Immigrant Justice Executive Director Javier Hernandez said the concerns raised in Minnesota mirror what immigrant communities report in Southern California, including the Inland Empire.

“We are here because too many lives have been lost, too many families torn apart, and too many communities terrorized by federal immigration enforcement,” Hernandez said.

“Federal agents operating under the Department of Homeland Security have used violence and force in ways that escalate fear rather than enhance public safety.”

Hernandez pointed to incidents he said occurred across the region — including in San Bernardino, Ontario, and Orange County — and said the issue extends beyond a single administration.

“So this is not about one administration.

This is about a system of violence that has been supported and funded by our own tax dollars,” Hernandez said.

Hernandez also called for consequences when agents violate constitutional rights.

City of San Bernardino Receives $1.031 Million in Federal Funds to Expand the Use of Technology in the Police Department

ongressman Pete Aguilar presented the City of San Bernardino with a ceremonial $1.03 million check for the San Bernardino Police Department in a press conference on January 28. The funds will expand the Department’s use of technology to monitor and respond to incidents more effectively, assist in solving crimes, and deter criminal activity.

“I first ran for Congress in order to bring home federal dollars that help improve the quality of life for working families here in the Inland Empire, including making our community safer," said Rep. Pete Aguilar. “That’s why I am so proud to have secured more than $1 million in community project funding for the City of San Bernardino’s Police Department.”

and installation of additional security cameras in downtown San Bernardino and other strategic locations to prevent, identify, and assist with investigations and prosecutions of criminal activity.

The Department will also use the funds for its Mobile Crime Prevention Program to purchase an unmarked mobile surveillance van, unmarked vehicles outfitted with surveillance equipment, surveillance cameras that can be relocated as needed, and license plate readers.

“The utilization of security cameras and license plate readers are effective tools to decrease criminal activity, said San Bernardino Chief of Police Darren Goodman.

“However, crime trends are often transient, and the city needs mobile surveillance solutions to continue successfully reducing crime and improving the community's health and safety.”

“This is a meaningful investment in the safety and security of the residents of the City of San Bernardino,” said Mayor Helen Tran, who was joined by council members Sandra Ibarra, Fred Shorett, Kim Knaus, Mario Flores, and Treasure Ortiz.

The new equipment will help continue a trend that has seen a significant crime reduction in the City of San Bernardino in recent years, including a decrease in homicides by more than 50%.

The funds will expand the SBPD’s Safety Camera Program and real time information center with the purchase

munity,” said Goodman. “This funding allows us to build on that success by investing in technology that will further enhance public safety, improve our response capabilities, and help us continue driving crime down across San Bernardino.”

The funds, totaling $1,031,000.00, was part of the 2025-2026 Community Project Funding budget request made by Aguilar. The Department of Justice appropriation bill that included the funding was passed by Congress and signed by the President on January 23, 2026.

Community Project Funding (CPF) allows members of Congress to request targeted federal funding for specific local projects that benefit communities, such as infrastructure, public services, public safety, and economic development. The process is highly competitive, requires demonstrated community support, and involves rigorous vetting through House and Senate Committees.

“These funds are more than a line item in a federal budget - they represent safer streets, improved infrastructure, and stronger public services,” added Tran.

“Thank you, Congressman Aguilar, for standing with San Bernardino and investing in the safety of our community.”

People’s State of the City Highlights Gaps in Riverside’s “Leveling Up” Vision

M

ore than 50 community members and advocates gathered yesterday in front of Riverside City Hall for the city’s first-ever People’s State of the City, a community-led response to the recent State of the City address.

The event was organized by a coalition of grassroots organizations and community leaders to elevate perspectives that speakers said were largely absent from the official State of the City, including the experiences of renters, working families, unhoused residents, immigrants, and young people navigating rising costs and housing insecurity.

Speakers represented a range of organizations, including the Riverside County Young Democrats, Inland Empire Tenants Union, Working Families Party, and IE United. Together, they framed what they described as a “tale of two cities,” the

Riverside showcased on glossy brochures and red-carpet events, and the Riverside lived daily by residents facing rent increases, rising cost of living, and economic instability.

“The State of the City talked about ‘leveling up,’ but many Riversiders are asking a simple question: leveling up for whom?” said Aram Ayra, a Ward 2 resident and one of the event’s organizers. “There is a growing gap between the Riverside that is marketed and the Riverside that is lived.”

Throughout the program, speakers raised concerns about the rising cost of rent, deteriorating tenant conditions at properties across Riverside, and City Hall’s broader approach to development and resource allocation. Several speakers criticized the City Council’s recent decision to reject a $20.1 million state Homekey+ grant that would have converted the Quality Inn on University Avenue into 114 units of permanent supportive and affordable housing.

Councilmember Clarissa Cervantes, who represents the ward where the former Quality Inn is located, also spoke at the People’s State of the City, urging continued public engagement and support for the Homekey+ project. She encouraged residents to contact their Councilmembers and participate in public comment as the City considers next steps on affordable and supportive housing.

Advocates also addressed recent Council responses to homelessness, arguing that Riverside should prioritize housing-first solutions, services, and dignity over disinvestment and excuses.

“I grew up watching my family struggle with housing insecurity, and I see those same struggles playing out across Riverside today,” said Mirella Monroy, a Riverside resident and member of the Inland Empire Tenants Union. “Everyone deserves safe, stable housing, but too many families are being priced out, ignored by landlords, and left without protections. That’s why we’re

organizing and demanding a city that puts people before profits.”

Organizers emphasized that the People’s State of the City was an opportunity to share the stories of impacted residents and communities, and call for a more inclusive, accountable vision of progress.

“This is what democracy looks like when people refuse to be invisible,” WFP member Jéi Raby said. “We get to tell our own stories, name the problems plainly, and insist on better solutions.”

The People’s State of the City concluded with a call for City leaders to meaningfully engage impacted communities and reconsider the Quality Inn Homekey+ project, which can still be brought back for a future Council vote. Speakers urged the City to take concrete action to ensure Riverside’s growth benefits working families, renters, immigrants, and future generations.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee

for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (855) 313-3319 or visit this Internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 140775-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 140775-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale.

Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
