The Los Angeles police protection loss (LAPPL) – a police union which represents more than 8,900 LAPD members – requests the resignation and prosecution of a local official after having apparently encouraged the gangs to defend their territory against United States Immigration and Customs Shall (ICE).
Cynthia Gonzalez, vice-mayor of Cudahy, in the south-east of the County of Los Angeles, would have shared a video on social networks at the end of last week in which she seemed to urge 18th street and the members of Gang Florencia 13 to protect their lawn against ice agents. The LAPPL said that Gonzalez’s video has put law enforcement agents at a higher risk of damage.
“It’s dangerous”, Richard Mendoza, director With the lappltold Fox News Digital. “… She should certainly resign from her post, and the district prosecutor or the American lawyer should bring charges against her if she has crossed legal lines.”
The gangs of the 18th street and Florencia 13 are based from Los Angeles and govern different areas, or lawn, by violence, intimidation and murder. The two gangs also have known history of murder of police officers, according to a press release from LAPPL.

“These gang members are known to be violent,” said Mendoza. “They killed law enforcement agents in the past, and it is completely irresponsible and reprehensible for [Gonzalez] even get involved in this kind of discourse or behavior. “”
In the now deleted video that Gonzalez would have published online, she seemed to say to the gang members They must organize themselves and help with the efforts of local resistance against the ice. Towards the end of the video, the head of the County of Los Angeles even calls the leaders of the Los Angeles gangs to “put your members of F *** ING in order”.

“”Not for nothing, but I want to know where all the Cholos are in Los Angeles, Gonzalez said in the video. ” 18th Street, Florencia – Where is management? Because you are all on the territory … you guy tag everything – claim the hood. And now that your hood is invaded by the biggest gang, there is no glance of you. “”

When Mendoza saw the video for the first time that the vice-mayor of Cudahy was published on social networks, he said that he thought it should be generated by artificial intelligence Because he couldn’t believe “an elected representative of a city would speak like that.
“I said to myself:” It’s ridiculous “, he said. “With things that are happening right now – it’s dangerous.”
Earlier this month, anti-glossy demonstrations to have resulted in nearly a dozen deputies undergoing injuries while the demonstrators launched rocks, Molotov cocktails and “the high quality pyrotechnic”, recently announced the sheriff of the County of Los Angeles.
“During the latest riots in the city of Los Angeles, we had 52 injured officers – 12 who are still recovering from their injuries,” said Mendoza. “… And now [Mendoza’s] Call these [gang members] as a call for action. It is irresponsible. “”

After publishing the video, Gonzalez was visited by FBI agents at his home and is now under federal investigation, according to federal sources.
The FBI Los Angeles told Fox News that they could not confirm or deny that an investigation was underway, but declared to condemn any appeal to gang violence.
In a Post X Post Tuesday evening, the American Department of Internal Security called the comments made by Gonzalez “Despicable”.
“She calls for criminal gangs – including the vicious gang of the 18th street – to commit violence against our brave ice law enforcement,” wrote the US Department of Internal Security. “This type of waste has led to an increase of more than 500% of assaults against our agents of the application of ice laws. Secretary Noem has been clear: if you are attacking a federal officer, you will be continued to the extent of the law.”
