Several California cities canceled their Fourth of July celebrations, reportedly citing Immigration and Customs Enforcement activities as the reason for the last-minute decision.
With President Donald Trump's vow to execute the biggest deportation effort in the nation's history, ICE has increased its efforts to find and detain illegal aliens.
California, the state with the largest illegal immigrant population, has been a prime target of the administration's immigration enforcement activities, sparking mass protests and even destructive rioting last month.
Now, several California cities are reportedly faulting ICE for their decision to cancel Independence Day celebrations.
The city of Cudahy, located in southeastern Los Angeles, announced last Wednesday that it was "postponing" an Independence Day celebration scheduled for July 3 "due to recent events and concerns regarding the safety of our residents."
The post did not directly cite ICE activities as the reason for the postponement. As of Tuesday, the event had not been rescheduled.
Cudahy Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez faced calls to resign, including from the L.A. police union, after she appeared to call on the city's street gangs to stop ICE's operations.
In a now-deleted June video, Gonzalez said, "I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles: 18th Street, Florencia. Where's the leadership at? Because you guys are all about territory and 'This is 18th Street,' and, 'This is Florencia.' You guys tag everything up, claiming hood and now that your hood's being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain't a peep out of you."
"Whoever's the leadership over there, just f**king get your members in order," Gonzalez added.
Matt Himes, a California resident and the managing editor for Blaze Media's Align, stated, "Last week L.A. County official Cynthia Gonzalez allegedly went on TikTok to encourage local gang members to fight back against ICE. She didn't ask how her law-abiding constituents felt about the prospect of open warfare in their neighborhood. This disdain for the average citizen is typical of California's Democrat leadership."
Bell Gardens, a city located just east of Cudahy, also canceled its Fourth of July events, directly citing concerns about immigration enforcement.
"Out of an abundance of caution regarding concerns for resident safety over federal immigration enforcement activities, the City of Bell Gardens will be canceling the scheduled events between June 24, 2025, and July 10, 2025, including the Movie Nights on June 26 and July 10 as well as the Independence Day Celebration," the city wrote.
Since the notice of cancellation, the city has repeatedly used its social media account to promote "immigration workshops."
One pinned post reads, "Know your rights! Regardless of your immigration status, you have guaranteed constitutional rights." The post instructs immigrants on how to respond to ICE agents arriving at their home, advising them not to open the door for officers unless they have a warrant signed by a judge.
"Remain silent and [do] not answer questions from immigration agents," it reads.
Huntington Park, a city northwest of Cudahy, similarly postponed its Independence Day celebrations, though it did not provide a reason.
"The Celebration of Independence scheduled for Thursday, July 3rd has been postponed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding and support," the city wrote.
Boyle Heights, located east of the Los Angeles River, postponed its July 4 events, citing ICE activities, according to Alejandra Alarcon, a spokesperson for the office of city council member Ysabel Jurado.
Alarcon told the Boyle Heights Beat, "We're responding to the crisis with the presence of federal agents in the community."
The outlet reported that celebrations for Boyle Heights, El Sereno, Lincoln Heights, and Northeast Los Angeles will be postponed until sometime in August.
Jurado’s deputy for economic innovation and community growth, Lucia Aguilar, was arrested, along with her twin sister, for allegedly assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon during the anti-ICE riots in June. The twin sisters are the daughters of Rick Cole, a Democratic Pasadena City council member
As some California cities prioritize shielding illegal immigrants over celebrating Independence Day, critics argue these actions betray the core values of America.
Himes stated, "Legal immigrants love July 4 — just like people who've been here for generations. But too bad: What really matters is 'protecting' the people with no respect for our country's laws. Even my neighborhood of the Pacific Palisades (which burned to the ground on the watch of that same Democratic leadership) is having a big July 4 party — my condolences to all my fellow Californians being denied one."
Gloria Romero, a former Democratic majority leader in the California State Senate, told Fox News, "They're basically canceling America; they're canceling patriotism."
"We are basically led by a far-left, ultra-woke, [Trump derangement syndrome]-suffering fools," she said.
Federal funding for CA should have ended long ago. To end the insanity in CA, the Communist left must be driven from power as they control government, all the institutions and many big companies. I wish them luck.
Let’s hope this really ticks AMERICANS off.
But with democrats, you just never know.
the woke leftards are just going crazy, having anti ice protests all over soCal. but the numbers ae very small tards font realize they are making fools out of them selves. but dont even try to explain to them anywhere online. reddit, MSN, anyplace.
Bullshit, just knock it off. you have zero idea about california
Before the Trump era, the same employers bankrolled political campaigns of corrupt people to ensure the lawless violent border remained wide open.
That’s why the border was never secured going back decades prior to Trump. The fix was in, they hoodwinked everyone. Profits regardless of consequences.
here in the central valley there are fireworks stands on just about every corner. and fireworks going off till midnight every night . cant wait till dark to watch all the illegal displays from my front yard
That’s because Independence Day in much of California is on Sept. 16……
Illegal aliens are not going to attend 4th of July events. This is more about hate America first, blame America first and denying American citizens 4th of July festivities.
There ought to be a law against sharing ChatGPT-style responses on any topic anywhere at any time.
Of the worst kind.
ROFL
This nation will not survive with millions and millions of people here only to take and who have no knowledge or appreciation of why it was started and all the hard work and sacrifice that enable it to continue.
Biden and the Democrat/Communist party brought in millions and millions of illegals to collapse America.
Those people were lied to and must return to their home countries.

Enough is Enough and it's time for them to Get Out:
Democrats and the Fake News Media Are Hiding This from the American Public: Illegal Migrants Collect More Food, Housing, Cash Benefits, and Medicaid Than Natural Born Citizens
"The study found that 59 percent of non-citizen households (e.g., green card holders and illegal immigrants) used one or more major welfare program.
This compares to 39 percent of US-born households who receive one or more major welfare program.
Illegal aliens not only broke the law to enter the country but they’re sucking our resources dry."
