The meeting on October 16, 2026, began with a prayer service led by Mayor Hector Laura, who called for community unity and prayer for families affected by immigration enforcement and recent tragedies. Following the prayer service, the city council conducted its regular meeting, addressing parking concerns, approving minutes, and passing ordinances. The council also observed moments of silence for recent losses.
That's called education through enforcement. That's what we pull it. So if you know that you have to pay a fine, then you know you're not gonna go any guns. We know you have to pay a fine, you're gonna go to the speech. We know you have to pay a fine, you know you're gonna wear your tea coat. Is that correct? I didn't hear you. Hey, if you have any criminal records, anything, all of that comes back to us based off of your fingerprints alone. Alright, aside from that, we take this camera, we take your ugly mug shots if you're in trouble. Whether you're fine, laugh or whatever the case may be, right? It's usually ugly.

Or he gets special treatment. In the police world, it doesn't matter what day it is. It could be Christmas, it could be New Year's, it could be your birthday.

The Bible tells us in Zechariah 4 6, as the Prophet Zechariah was speaking to Zarabu, who was setting up the temple, that it is not by might, nor by the strength of men, but by the Spirit of the living God, that things will be accomplished. The Bible tells us in Psalm nine nine that the Lord is a refuge to the oppressed. But in verse 17, when the Lord presents to his people and says, I'm not interested in your sacrifices, or your religious rituals, who told you I needed that. I wanted you to do good, to help the poor, to defend the oppressed, to be there for the orphans and the widow. These are the things that please the Lord. So Lem versino the size, but Capitol Intero, when to talk Isaiah on the listener to interest out, and to actos religios to sacrificios, but to defiende the opprimidos. And we believe in law and order. And we believe that it is an appropriate thing to enforce the law, but how it's enforced matters. And as mayor, I can tell you that we're doing a lot in the city. But the Bible teaches us that if we labor without him, we labor in vain. And the response I got was to bring his people together and lift up our voices and pray to him.
