In a now-deleted video, Cudahy Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez urged gangs such as 18th Street and Florencia 13 to protect their neighborhoods from ICE, labeling the agency 'the biggest gang there is.' This call to action has led to a federal investigation and widespread condemnation.

Gonzalez's remarks have drawn sharp criticism from the Department of Homeland Security, which deemed her comments 'despicable' and linked them to a 500% increase in assaults on ICE officers. The Los Angeles Police Protective League has demanded her resignation, citing the potential endangerment of law enforcement personnel.

The 18th Street gang, referenced by Gonzalez, boasts an estimated 50,000 members across 28 states, with California's membership around 80% undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Central America.
