The vice mayor of Cudahy, Cynthia Gonzalez, faced backlash after a controversial social media post implied she was encouraging local gangs to organize against federal immigration enforcement actions. In the video, which has since been deleted, she questioned why gangs, particularly the infamous 18th Street and Florence gangs, were not protesting against ICE raids. Her remarks were condemned by the Department of Homeland Security, which expressed concern over escalating violence against ICE officers. The city distanced itself from Gonzalez's comments, clarifying they did not represent official positions.
