The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is reportedly investigating a California lawmaker’s call to gang members to defend their “hoods” from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
In a post on X, Fox News’s Bill Melugin posted a video that appeared to show Cudahy Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez questioning where “18th Street & Florencia 13 gang members” were, now that their hoods are “being invaded by the biggest gang there is.” Gonzalez claimed that ICE agents were “running a much all up” in the gangs territory.
“Not for nothing, but I wanna know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles?” Gonzalez says. ” Eighteenth street, Florencia, where’s the leadership at? Because you guys are all about territory, and this is 18th Street and this is Florencia, you guys tag everything up — claiming hood, and now that your hoods being invaded, by the biggest gang there is, there ain’t a peep out of you.”
“It’s everyone else who’s not about the gang life that’s out there protesting and speaking up, we’re out there like fighting our turf, protecting our turf, protecting our people, and like where you at?” Gonzalez added.
Gonzalez continued to warn gang members against claiming blocks or territory if they weren’t going to show up and “help out.”
“I don’t want to hear a peep out of you once their gone, trying to claim that this is my block,” Gonzalez added. “This was not your block, you weren’t even here helping out.”
Melugin wrote in his post that “federal sources” claimed that Gonzalez “is under FBI investigation” after allegedly posting the video.
