The union for Los Angeles cops has demanded the resignation and prosecution of the small-town vice mayor who urged Hispanic gangs to fight Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to stop the deportation of illegal aliens.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) called the social media post by Cynthia Gonzalez “shameful” because she risked the lives of police officers.
Gonzalez’s words are the most extreme from a hate-Trump, far-left official since the mass deportations began. While others have said they would resist ICE, none have encouraged gangs to attack law enforcement…
Unclear is whether Gonzalez, vice mayor of Cudahy, was in her right mind when she called upon the gangs to get with her program. Civil disobedience to stop the deportation of illegals isn’t enough, she said. The gangs must step in.
“Not for nothing, but I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles?” she began, calling upon the 18th Street and Florencia 13 gangs to wage war against Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And, the union worries, she would include cops on the street who assist ICE in controlling protesters.
The gangs have not joined the struggle to fight deportations on their territory, she complained. “We’re out there, like, fighting for our turf, protecting our turf, protecting our people, and like, where you at?” she asked of the gangs.
Gonzalez said ICE and cops are “running amok all up in your, on your streets, on your streets and in your city, and peep.” She complained that residents who were not “jumped in” to gangs were protesting while the gangs sat on the sidelines.
