Vice Mayor Urges Gangs to Fight Immigration Raids | JQJO

Cudahy, California Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez is facing backlash for a deleted social media video seemingly urging street gangs to confront federal immigration agents. Gonzalez's comments, referencing specific gangs, questioned their silence amidst ICE raids in Los Angeles. The Department of Homeland Security condemned her remarks as "despicable" and warned of potential prosecution for assaulting federal officers. The city of Cudahy distanced itself from Gonzalez's statements, clarifying they don't reflect the city's official position. Gonzalez, a highly educated educator with immigrant parents, hasn't yet responded to requests for comment.
