A California politician is in hot water after telling gang members to fight immigration officers. Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez told criminals to protect their territory from federal agents. Her comments have sparked outrage and a federal investigation.
Gonzalez posted a video calling on Los Angeles gangs to organize against immigration enforcement. She specifically named the violent 18th Street Gang. The vice mayor shamed gang members for not defending their “hood” against what she called “the biggest gang.”
Federal authorities slammed Gonzalez’s remarks as dangerous and irresponsible. The Department of Homeland Security called her words “despicable.” They warned such rhetoric has caused a 500% spike in attacks on ICE officers.
Gonzalez is now under federal investigation for her inflammatory statements. ICE officials described her comments as “disgusting” and fueling violence against law enforcement. The Los Angeles police union demanded her immediate resignation and prosecution.
This isn’t just talk – it’s putting real lives in danger. Assaults on federal officers have skyrocketed because of exactly this kind of hateful language. Our brave ICE agents risk their lives every day to enforce our laws.
Calls for gang violence show how far some politicians will go to undermine border security. It’s disgraceful when elected officials side with criminals over the rule of law. This is what happens when liberal leaders put open borders ahead of public safety.
California’s sanctuary policies created this lawless environment. Now we see local officials openly recruiting gangs to attack federal authorities. This is an assault on America’s sovereignty and the safety of our communities.
Enough is enough. We need leaders who support law enforcement, not criminal gangs. This toxic rhetoric must end before more officers get hurt protecting our nation.
