Santiago explained that her decision was based on Oronoz Rodríguez' involvement in a controversial case, when as the director of San Juan's Municipal Legal Division she defended the Mayor's decision to impose searches on every individual who would attend this year's San Sebastian Street Festival. 
Santiago alieleza kuwa uamuzi wake ulizingatia uhusika wa Oronoz Rodríguez katika kashfa za siku za nyuma, ambapo inadaiwa akiwa mkurugenzi wa Idara ya Sheria ya Manispaa ya San Juan alitetea uamuzi wa Meya wa kuruhusu kukaguliwa kwa kila mtu ambaye angehudhuria Sherehe za Mtaa wa San Sebastian.
