California official criticized for appearing to call on gangs to intervene in immigration raids

The vice mayor of a tiny Southern California city is under fire after appearing to call on street gangs to organize in the face of immigration sweeps by federal agents in Los Angeles.

In a video post on social media that’s since been deleted, Cynthia Gonzalez, vice mayor of Cudahy, said she wanted to know where all of the gang members were “at in Los Angeles.”
