💨 Abstract

The Vice Mayor of Cudahy, California, Cynthia Gonzalez, faced backlash for a social media post where she appeared to call on street gangs to confront federal immigration agents. She questioned why gangs known for turf wars weren't opposing immigration raids. The Department of Homeland Security condemned her remarks, stating they incite violence and have led to increased assaults against ICE officers. The city of Cudahy distanced itself from Gonzalez's comments, stating they don't reflect the city's views.
