Key Facts

  • The room quickly descended into chaos, with about a dozen protesters screaming for De León to leave and supporters of the embattled council member chanting “Kevin, Kevin, Kevin.”
  • De León last publicly appeared in council chambers on Oct. 11, when the council held their first meeting after The Times reported on the leaked audio of a private 2021 conversation among Councilmembers Gil Cedillo, Nury Martinez and De León, as well as then-president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, Ron Herrera.
  • De León and Cedillo started out that October council meeting by sitting in their chairs, but immediately became the subject of angry chants from the crowd, and eventually left the room.
  • Virtually the entire Democratic establishment called for Cedillo and De León to resign in the wake of the leaked audio.
