When the deputy mayor of California’s city of Cudahy called on street gangs to resist arrests of illegal migrants, you know chaos is brewing! Cynthia Gonzalez publicly challenged gangs like 18th Street and Florence to defend their “turf” and “people” against federal agents, using offensive language. The US Department of Homeland Security immediately condemned the call as vile and dangerous, noting attacks on immigration officers have risen by over 40%. The city of Cudahy distanced itself from her remarks, but the damage is done. Is this the start of a new wave of violence or just another political scandal? Jump into the debate and tell us — is Gonzalez brave or utterly reckless? Comment now and set the internet on fire!
