Ron Gochez, a teacher at a local high school in Los Angeles, has publicly called for armed resistance against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following a shooting incident that involved a U.S. Marshal and an undocumented immigrant. The incident, which occurred in the city’s outskirts, has raised serious concerns about the safety of students and the broader implications for civil unrest. Gochez’s comments, made on social media, have drawn mixed reactions from the public and local authorities.
Gochez’s criticism of ICE raids in the area has been a recurring theme in his public statements, where he has repeatedly called for an end to what he describes as “aggressive tactics” by immigration enforcement. The recent shooting, which reportedly happened during a routine operation, has further fueled his call for more direct forms of resistance. The teacher’s position has placed him at odds with local school officials, who have urged restraint and emphasized the importance of maintaining a safe environment for students.
Authorities have not yet released official details about the shooting, but the incident has already sparked widespread discussions about the role of immigration enforcement in public spaces. While some community members have supported Gochez’s stance, others have condemned his call for violence, citing the potential for endangering lives and escalating tensions. The situation continues to unfold as local officials work to address the fallout from the incident and manage public concerns.
