Resident asks council to report known immigration‑enforcement activity in Ontario

Tina Silva told the council she had witnessed multiple immigration‑enforcement incidents since Aug. 18 and asked the city to provide transparency about interactions between federal immigration agents and local resources. She requested a written report at the next council meeting documenting all known immigration enforcement activity in Ontario since June 2025, including where Ontario Police Department officers or city resources were involved and what policies govern interactions with federal agents.

Silva said she personally observed a man detained near Ladenny Court who was afraid to roll down his window and that the agents told him "they know we're here and they'll help us." She argued the community deserves transparency so residents can call local police without fear. The request was recorded as public comment; the transcript does not show a formal staff commitment to the requested report in the provided segments.

City staff and council did not immediately provide the requested written report during the recorded segment; the request stands as an explicit direction from public comment that the council could act on in a subsequent meeting or via a staff assignment.
