Councilmen Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo have apologized for their part in the scandalous conversation, but have yet to resign.
Two Los Angeles city councilmembers are being removed from key duties amid mounting calls for their resignations.
Councilmen Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo were previously involved in the taped October 2021 conversation, which led to last Monday’s resignation of Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez, who made racist and derogatory comments during a meeting.
Martinez also made racist remarks about Bonin’s son, who is Black, calling him a Spanish term for « little monkey » and saying he needed « a beatdown. » She also referenced Oaxacan immigrants in Los Angeles’ Koreatown neighborhood, calling them « short little dark people.
