One far-left politician from the Los Angeles area may soon find herself with ample time to consider the wisdom—or complete lack thereof—of posting a video to social media calling for local gang members to rise up against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
The politician in question is one Cynthia Gonzalez, current vice mayor of Cudahy, a city in the southeastern area of Los Angeles County, California. Ms. Gonzalez seemingly thought it would be a good idea as an elected official to further stoke the violence in her community by calling on the local gangbangers of "18th Street" and "Florencia 13" to "get in order" against ICE officials as they carried out lawful immigration raids.
She also thought it would be a good idea to put her violent call to action on video and post it all over social media.

The video, which was apparently posted sometime last week, has been deleted, but, as the kids like to say, the internet is forever. And Fox News' Bill Melugin was all over it.
Gonzalez, who appeared to have shamelessly made the video in public at an open-air restaurant, began by calling out the area "cholos" for apparently not protecting their "territory" from being "invaded by the biggest gang there is." That "gang," of course, refers to federal law enforcement officials doing their job. Here she is in her own words:
Not for nothing, but I wanna know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles?
The term "cholo" is simply another word for gangbanger. Gonzalez went on to shame her cholo constituents for letting those "who are not about the gang life" take on the duties of "protecting our turf, protecting our people." Girl is big time mad at the cholos, but is full of praise for the "regular ones," presumably including herself, who are out there "trying to do the thing."
So, what we have here is an elected official trying mobilize the more criminal element of her community to commit violence against ICE agents who are trying to clear the area of illegals. Or, as Gonzalez so eloquently put it to the friendly, neighborhood cholos, "they're running their muck all up in your streets."
To regular Americans, this goes far beyond behavior unbecoming of an officeholder and goes straight to inciting violence against the federal government. And it seems that the FBI may well agree. According to Melugin, sources have revealed to him that the FBI is actively investing Gonzalez, even paying a visit to the vice mayor's house with some questions. The FBI and Gonzalez herself have refused to comment on the situation, but Melugin also reports that Madam Vice Mayor has taken to social media to plead for help finding legal representation.
The left, it seems, never tires of having the consequences of their actions bite them on their rage-filled behinds.
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
