She's not the Mayor or Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles, but she is the Deputy Mayor of a "city" that is basically in the middle of the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Cudahy is, for all intents and purposes, other than the nominal governmental unit, Los Angeles. The dead center of Cudahy is 6 miles, as the crow flies, from the dead center (and yes, downtown Los Angeles is basically dead because the LA metropolitan area is sprawling and has no real center) of LA. It is part of the Los Angeles School District.
When you think of LA gangs, this is one of the places you think of. And Compton, another nominally separate city, due to its incorporation before LA could swallow it up. So, when you hear that the Deputy Mayor of Cudahy is calling for the local Hispanic gangs to fight back against ICE, you should know that she is more or less equivalent to a LA city council member in stature, if not in power.
The comments made by the Vice Mayor of Cudahy, CA, Cynthia Gonzalez, are despicable. She calls for criminal gangs – including the vicious 18th street gang—to commit violence against our brave ICE law enforcement.

The comments made by the Vice Mayor of Cudahy, CA, Cynthia Gonzalez, are despicable. She calls for criminal gangs – including the vicious 18th street gang—to commit violence against our brave ICE law enforcement.
This kind of garbage has led to a more than 500 percent increase in assaults against our ICE law enforcement officers.
Secretary Noem has been clear: If you assault a federal officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Many low-information voters think Republicans are being hyperbolic when we say that Democrats in power identify more with criminals than with the ordinary citizen. It sounds absurd on its face; after all, who would side with gang members over law-abiding citizens?
The answer: Democrats, who are making common cause with radicals and criminals, counting on their brazenness to seem so outrageous that people who aren't paying attention scoff at the idea that they would really be so awful.
INSANE 🚨 Los Angeles, California is pushing for FREE RENT for illegal families so they don’t have to go to work and avoid ICE mass deportations

They want US Taxpayers to pay the rent of illegals “who have family who may not be able to leave their homes due to fear of kidnapping”
“Major labor unions are joining forces today demanding action — asking the LA City Council to pass an emergency protection to help families who may face eviction due to the immigration raids
The unions say many families may not be able to cover rent due to a family member who may have been taken by ICE or who have family who may not be able to leave their homes due to fear of kidnapping.
The groups claim Latinos make up majority of renters in the city of LA.”
I've seen this in other areas in which Democrats are radical. Many liberals don't believe us when we tell them that leftists are grooming their kids to be sexual objects and communists, because who would do that? It sounds too outrageous to be true, even though it is. Big sins are easier to deny than small ones, because to some extent, everybody sins. It's easy to see that Jeffrey Dahmer is a bit weird, but who could believe he was a serial killer and cannibal? IT is too extreme to contemplate, so people don't.
JUST IN: The FBI is investigating the Vice Mayor of Cudahy, California, Cynthia Gonzalez, after she posted a video on social media calling on the 18th Street and Florencia 13 gang members to protect their “turf” against ICE, according to Fox News.

But the truth is that the radicals at the heights of power in the Democratic Party--at least those rising to those heights in this generation--believe that the enemies of civilization are morally superior to the civilized.
Notice they don't condemn her comments. @fbi should investigate all of city "leadership," which, by the way, is likely gangs. Also, she called out gangs? I don't think the FBI is the only thing she needs to worry about right now.

“The City of Cudahy is aware of recent comments made by Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez on social media. The comments made by the Vice Mayor reflect her personal views and do not represent the views or official position of the City of Cudahy. The City will not be providing further comment.”
Nice to know. But did you notice that the "City of Cudahy" didn't condemn those comments? They just aren't the official position of the city.
Close enough. The actual Mayor of Los Angeles is on the migrant gangs' side, too. She just hasn't exactly called for them to take up arms against ICE. Instead, she works to warn others about impending ICE raids so that they can, and many are, if not with guns, yet.
Which may be smart tactics. Shooting federal agents is a good way to get wiped out, and we can't have that.
If you think that Cynthia is just a rando Hispanic activist, think again. Her resume befits a member of the lefty elite:
Councilwoman Dr. Cynthia Gonzalez grew up in the Southeast City of Huntington Park and graduated from Bell High School. She is the daughter of immigrant parents who taught her the value of hard work. She has lived in the city of Cudahy for over 12 years where she is raising two beautiful and strong daughters.
She received her Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of California Santa Barbara. She earned two master’s degrees in education from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and her Educational Leadership Doctorate from UCLA’s ELP program. In addition to her degrees, she has also earned her administrative credentials from UCLA and UC Berkeley.
Councilwoman Dr. Gonzalez also serves as the Legislative Action Committee Chair for the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) and is a member of the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles.
She has served LAUSD students and families since 2002 in the capacity of classroom teacher, Title I/Bilingual Coordinator, and School Principal in the communities of Southeast Los Angeles, South Central Los Angeles, Florence-Firestone, and Boyle Heights. She currently works as the Director of Pilot Schools Support and Innovation, supporting 40 Pilot Schools in LAUSD.
Dr. Gonzalez is passionate about creating healthy and safe communities that allow students and families to lead healthy and meaningful lives. In addition to her work with Pilot Schools she leads a Safe Passage collaborative in the Florence-Firestone area aligning resources and support for LAUSD schools. She looks forward to bringing this experience to the residents of Cudahy.
In other words, this is where the new Democratic Party is going. Obama looks moderate compared to the new crowd, who are taking Obama's embrace of what the left calls the "Global South" (non-Western countries) to its logical extreme.
