The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL), representing close to 9,000 members of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), is demanding the resignation of Cynthia Gonzalez, Vice Mayor of Cudahy, a city in Los Angeles County, California. Gonzalez appeared to call on street gangs to organize violent action against federal immigration agents.

“I wanna know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles. 18th Street, Florencia. Where’s the leadership at? Because, you guys are all about territory… and now that your hood’s being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain’t a peep out of you,” she complained.

“Dude, [federal law enforcement] are running amok all up in yo streets and in yo city… So, whoever’s the leadership over there, just get your f**king members in order.”

The LAPPL, whose members were targeted by pro-illegal immigrant rioters after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) began detaining illegals in L.A., including mass shooters and child molesters, condemned her comments. “The 18th Street and Florencia street gangs are notoriously dangerous Los Angeles-based criminal enterprises,” they stressed, noting that the gangs “rule their ‘turfs’ through intimidation, violence, and murder, and finance their operations through the sale of narcotics and illegal firearms, prostitution, and protection rackets.”

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has also condemned Gonzalez’s video, accusing her of encouraging violence against law enforcement. DHS linked her comments to a reported 500 percent increase in assaults on ICE officers and warned that any attacks on federal officers would be met with full prosecution. Gonzalez reportedly deleted the video shortly after posting it, and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents visited her home following the incident.
