The Brief
Cudahy Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez is under federal investigation for a
video in which she challenges local gang members to defend their territory against federal immigration agents.

In the video, Gonzalez calls out gangs like 18th Street and Florencia 13, questioning their silence and urging them to organize and defend their
blocks.

Gonzalez confirmed the investigation in a Facebook post seeking legal
support, while the city of Cudahy distanced itself from her comments,
stating they reflect her personal views.

LOS ANGELES - A city official in a small town within Los Angeles County is
now believed to be under federal investigation for a video posted on
social media.

What we know:
In a now deleted TikTok video, Cudahy Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez
allegedly tells gang members to "defend their territory" from ICE agents.

"You guys are all about territory," Gonzalez said in the roughly 90 second video. "This is 18th street, this is Florencia. You guys tag everything
up, claiming hood, and now that your hood is being invaded by the biggest
gang there is, there isn�t a peep out of you."

Federal sources confirm with FOX that Gonzalez is under investigation for
the comments. She also confirmed it with a post on Facebook.

"Don�t be trying to claim no block, no nothing, if you�re not showing up
right now," Gonzalez said in the video. "Whoever is the leadership over
there, just get your f*** members in order."

The controversial video was shared publicly last week and has since been deleted, along with Facebook posts, also allegedly from Gonzalez, obtained
by FOX before they were taken down.

What they're saying:
In the Facebook comments, Gonzalez allegedly wrote, "I need a lawyer. The
FBI just came to my house." Adding, "It was about a TikTok that I made
that went viral. Literally a TikTok."

In another post Gonzalez allegedly wrote that she, "believes this is a
First Amendment rights issue".

The nearby Mayor of Huntington Park, Arturo Flores, tells FOX 11 he
condemns the video.

"She�s a personal friend," said Mayor Flores. "I know her. I know she
wouldn�t call for violence. Words are important. You have to be careful
with what you say and how you say it."

Mayor Flores is currently pushing to have local police work to "identify" immigration agents within the Huntington Park community.

"If a caravan is coming into our community, 4 or 5 vehicles, what I expect
is a vetting to happen of who those individuals are," said Flores.

The other side:
In a statement, the Los Angeles Police Protective League called for the immediate resignation and prosecution of Gonzalez.

"What Ms. Gonzalez urged and taunted these specific gangs to do in her
social media post puts police officers and other law enforcement
professionals at greater risk. Her actions are deplorable and potentially illegal. She should resign and she should be prosecuted if what she
called for broke the law."

According to the LAPPL, both gangs "have a known history of murdering
police officers." The organization referred to the 1998 killing of LAPD
Officer Filberto Cuesta by an 18th Street gang member and more recently,
the 2022 murder of LAPD Officer Fernando Arroyos by several Florencia gang members.

What's next:
FOX 11 called, emailed, and texted Cudahy Vice Mayor Gonzalez for comment
about her video, but so far we haven�t heard back.

We also reached out to all Cudahy city council members, but no one
responded to answer our questions. Late Tuesday afternoon, we received a written response from a spokesperson for the City of Cudahy saying, "The
City of Cudahy is aware of recent comments made by Vice Mayor Cynthia
Gonzalez on social media. The comments made by the Vice Mayor reflect her personal views and do not represent the views or official position of the
City of Cudahy. The city will not be providing further comment."

18 U.S.C. � 115, which prohibits threats and violence against federal officials, employees, and their families with the intent to impede their official duties or retaliate against them. Additionally, 18 U.S.C. � 111 criminalizes assault, resistance, or impeding of federal officers.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
