LA County Official's Shocking Social Media Post About ICE Leads to FBI Investigation

It’s not just the Department of Homeland Security blasting Cynthia Gonzalez, vice mayor of Cudahy, a Los Angeles County city, for what she posted on social media. Now the FBI is getting involved, reportedly opening an investigation into the elected official.

In the now-deleted video, Gonzalez calls on 18th Street and Florencia 13 gang members to defend their “turf” against federal immigration enforcement officers. 

"Not for nothing, but I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles," Gonzalez said in the video. "18th Street, Florencia — Where's the leadership at? Because you guys are all about territory … You guys tag everything up — claiming hood. And now that your hood's being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain’t a peep out of you."

She kept going, telling the gang leaders to “get your f***ing members in order.”  

"Don't be trying to claim no block, no nothing," Gonzalez added. "If you're not showing up right now, trying to help out and organize, I don't want to hear a peep out of you once they're gone."

According to Fox News' Bill Melugin, Gonzalez "posted on her social media that the FBI came to her house, and she needs a lawyer."

DHS blasted the "despicable" comments and said "this kind of garbage has led to a more than 500 percent increase in assaults against our ICE law enforcement officers."
