BREAKING NEWS from Fox News’ Bill Melugin:
“EXCLUSIVE: Per federal sources, the vice mayor of Cudahy, a city in southeast LA County, is under FBI investigation after she allegedly posted a video to social media in which she appears to call for 18th Street & Florencia 13 gang members in LA to defend their territory from ICE, even urging gang leadership to “get your fucking members in order”.
I’m told Cynthia Gonzalez posted the video late last week, then deleted it, and that the FBI later visited her home & she is under active federal investigation.
Gonzalez posted on her social media that the FBI came to her house, and she needs a lawyer.
FBI LA tells FOX they cannot confirm or deny an investigation, but that they condemn any call for gang violence.
We’ve reached out to Gonzalez via phone and email & are awaiting a response. No response yet from the city of Cudahy either. Will update as we get more.”
Here’s what she said in her video: “Not for nothing, but I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles. 18th 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 hood’s 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 fighting for our turf, protecting our turf, protecting our people, and like, where are you at? Bien calladitos, bien calladitos todos los cholitos. I’m like, dude, they’re running amok all up in your streets, on your streets and in your city.
And peep, when the big gang comes, nothing but quiet, and we’re out here, the regular ones that have never been jumped in, out here calling things out, trying to organize people, trying to do the thing.
So don’t be trying to claim no block, no nothing, 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, trying to claim that this is my block. This was not your block, you weren’t even here helping out.
So whoever’s the leadership over there, just get your members in order.”
