While the attack erupted on Monday, neighbors say tensions over the parking spot have been simmering for years.
Social media users on a Reddit post titled "The fight over the parking spot finally happened" claimed that the individuals involved routinely used trash cans and traffic cones to illegally hold street parking for hours while they were away.
A former resident on the Reddit thread said, "Sometimes those trash cans will be there for three hours reserving the spot."
The person who filmed the altercation said in the post, "It's been going on for years. The whole family does it, today someone finally had a breaking point."

Vice mayor who called ICE ‘the biggest gang there is' and for ‘cholos' to defend their territory should resign, cop union says
The vice mayor of a small city in California who called on the criminal 'cholos' of Los Angeles to stand up to raids on undocumented migrants by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents is facing calls to resign, with the local police union calling her actions 'shameful.' In a clip posted to Instagram and then swiftly deleted, Cynthia Gonzalez, Vice Mayor of Cudahy, 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, 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.' Gonzalez appeared to be referring to ICE but does not name them in the video. She continued: 'It's everyone else who's not about the gang life that's out there protesting and speaking up. We're out there fighting our turf, protecting our turf, protecting our people, and, like, where you at? 'Dude they're running amok all up on your streets, on your streets and in your city and, peep, when the big gang guns come in nothing but, like, quiet and we're out here, the regular ones that have never been jumped in out here calling things out and trying to organize. 'So don't be trying to claim no block, no nothing if you're not showing up right now trying to, like, help out and organize. I don't want to hear a peep out of you once they're gone, trying to claim that this is my block. This was not your block. You weren't even here helping out. So whoever is the leadership over there just f***ing get your members in order.' The L.A. Police Protective League (LAPPL) has reacted angrily and demanded Gonzalez's resignation. 'The 18th Street and Florencia street gangs are notoriously dangerous Los Angeles-based criminal enterprises,' it said in a statement. 'Both gangs have a known history of murdering police officers. In 1998, an 18th Street gang member murdered LAPD Officer Filberto Cuesta. Recently, several Florencia gang members were convicted of the 2022 murder of LAPD Officer Fernando Arroyos. 'What Ms Gonzalez urged and taunted these specific gangs to do in her social media post puts police officers and other law enforcement professionals at greater risk. Her actions are deplorable and potentially illegal. She should resign and she should be prosecuted if what she called for broke the law.' The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also responded to the video, reposting it on Tuesday evening with a statement calling Gonzalez 'despicable' and alleging that she was calling on the gangs 'to commit violence against our brave ICE law enforcement.' 'This kind of garbage has led to a more than 500 percent increase in assaults against our ICE law enforcement officers. Secretary [Kristi] Noem has been clear: If you assault a federal officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,' the DHS said. The FBI has stated that it cannot currently confirm or deny whether an investigation into Gonzalez is underway. Still, spokesperson Laura Eimiller noted: 'Generally speaking, of course, the FBI condemns any calls for violence or targeting of law enforcement with violence.' The Independent has contacted Gonzalez for comment, but she has so far refused all media requests pertaining to the video. The City of Cudahy did issue a brief statement of its own in which it said: 'The comments made by the Vice Mayor reflect her personal views and do not represent the views or official position of the City of Cudahy. The City will not be providing further comment.' The Los Angeles Times has since quoted an attorney representing Gonzalez as saying that 'any suggestion that she advocated for violence is categorically false and without merit,' putting them at odds with the LAPPL and DHS in their interpretation of her words. The attorney continued: 'In her post, Dr Gonzalez issued a challenge to the Latino community: join the thousands of Angelenos already peacefully organizing in response to ongoing enforcement actions. 'Importantly, Dr Gonzalez in no way encouraged anyone to engage in violence.' Gonzalez's controversial video comes after weeks of controversy caused by federal raids on migrants in downtown Los Angeles, which saw local people hit the streets to protest and President Donald Trump call in the National Guard and deploy active-duty Marines to support local law enforcement against the wishes of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. Two weeks ago, Gonzalez joined other L.A. County mayors at a press conference hosted by Bass at City Hall to address ICE's actions.

Workers living in fear of ICE raids in Los Angeles are hiding ‘like Anne Frank'
Ongoing raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Los Angeles have reportedly driven members of the city's Latino population into hiding, with one man claiming: 'It's like Anne Frank.' A month after protests erupted in opposition to ICE's actions in L.A. – leading President Donald Trump to send in the National Guard and active-duty Marines to maintain order over the wishes of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass – a climate of 'insanity and terror' abides, according to The Wrap. The report quotes anecdotal evidence from locals who say that Latino residents, both documented and undocumented, are preferring to absent themselves from work and stay indoors. Doing otherwise would mean risking detention by armed agents in combat gear, who have been storming homes, businesses and even medical clinics with 'faces obscured, no warrants and no identification' over the last month. The Department of Homeland Security reports that over 1,600 immigrants were detained in southern California in the two weeks leading up to June 25, equating to 101 arrests per day in support of Trump's roundup of illegal migrants, the Republican having promised the biggest mass deportation push in American history on the campaign trail last year. Among those cited in the report is a local father who is struggling for childcare because his nanny is too scared to come to work and owners of car washes, grocery stores and restaurants across the city who say they have been forced to stay closed to protect their work forces, whom they feel are being arbitrarily targeted. 'People are staying home. It does feel very scary out there right now,' immigration attorney Jaclyn Granet said. 'It's incredibly disturbing to witness as a human and also as an immigrant attorney, who works with foreign talent. I support the idea that America is better when we have a global community within our borders. 'It really feels like this program of mass ICE raids and mass detention is extremely short-sighted… If you're raiding the farms, the restaurants – how long does it take until a restaurant has to close, or we don't have this crop or that crop?' She added: 'Do I think that this level of force is necessary? Absolutely not. That is part of the chaos and scare tactics meant to be communicated through these raids. Part of Trump's plan is to create chaos.' Residents have been routinely posting videos of clashes between agents and citizens to social media, seeking to document what they regard as scenes of harassment and intimidation unfolding in their neighborhoods. With tensions running high, Cynthia Gonzalez, the vice mayor of Cudahy, a city southeast of L.A., faced calls to resign last week for challenging the notorious 18th Street and Florencia gangs to help local residents stand up to ICE, which she referred to in an Instagram video as 'the biggest gang there is.' Gonzalez subsequently issued a statement via her attorney stating that she 'in no way encouraged anyone to engage in violence.'

Trump team defends ICE raid at California marijuana farm where children were allegedly found working
President Donald Trump's administration has defended violent immigration raids targeting cannabis farms in California, where masked federal agents discovered allegedly undocumented minors who are victims of 'exploitation' and 'potentially human trafficking or smuggling,' according to the Department of Homeland Security. The United Farm Workers union said several workers were critically injured during the raids, while other targeted workers, including a U.S. citizen, 'remain totally unaccounted for.' Agents are accused of chasing one worker who fell 30 feet from the top of a building. He was hospitalized and placed on life support, before dying from his injuries on Friday, according to the union. The raids — which sparked an intense standoff between heavily armed federal officers and dozens of protesters — were condemned by California Governor Gavin Newsom, whose office accused Trump's administration of wielding an anti-immigration agenda that has brought 'chaos, fear and terror' into communities. 'There's a real cost to these inhumane immigration actions on hardworking families and communities, including farmworker communities, across America,' his office said in a statement. Agents arrived on Thursday in military-style vehicles to execute 'criminal search warrants' inside facilities operated by Glass House Farms, according to Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin. The farms span 5.5 million square feet in California's Ventura County where it is legal for licensed operators to grow cannabis. Firefighters were dispatched around 12.15 p.m. to provide medical aid. Five people were hospitalized, and four others were treated at the farm, according to the Ventura County Fire Department. In a statement on social media, Glass House Farms said it 'fully complied with agent search warrants and will provide further updates if necessary.' Video showed agents firing tear gas and crowd control munitions into a crowd of protesters near a farm house in Camarillo. Agents were also raiding another farm site roughly 30 miles away. The FBI issued a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a demonstrator, who appeared to fire a pistol during the melee, according to federal prosecutors. Customs and Border Protection commissioner Rodney Scott said agents found 10 undocumented children at the facility, including eight who were unaccompanied. It is legal in California for minors as young as 12 to work on farms but only in non-hazardous jobs and outside of school hours. Administration officials shared photos on social media showing masked agents posing with the alleged children they discovered and accused Newsom of failing to stop 'child exploitation.' 'We prosecute criminals that break child labor laws,' Newsom replied. 'You make the kids pose for photos, tear gas them, and promote laws like this,' said the governor, sharing articles about Republican-led legislation to loosen child labor laws. The workers, which included citizens, were held by federal authorities for more than eight hours. The American citizens were only released from custody if they agreed to delete video of the operation from their phones, according to United Farm Workers. The union also is demanding the 'immediate facilitation' of legal representation for minors at the facility. 'Farm workers are excluded from basic child labor laws and it is unfortunately not uncommon for teenagers to work in the fields,' the group said. 'To be clear: detaining and deporting children is not a solution for child labor.' The Trump administration's 'violent and cruel federal actions terrorize American communities, disrupt the American food supply chain, threaten lives and separate families,' the union said. 'There is no city, state or federal district where it is legal to terrorize and detain people for being brown and working in agriculture. These raids must stop immediately.' The federal operation on Thursday was the latest in a series of immigration raids that have rocked communities across California and drawn federal lawsuits to stop them. Workplace raids spiked after the administration rescinded previous ICE policy that prohibited enforcement actions in sensitive locations such as places of worship, schools and hospitals. Under apparent pressure from the agricultural sector, which is made up of roughly 40 percent noncitizen workers, Trump has considered limiting enforcement actions on farms and developing a program for temporary work permits. But the president's border czar Tom Homan has said there will be 'no amnesty' for undocumented workers. The Trump administration has deployed officers across federal law enforcement agencies to focus on immigration enforcement, with a directive from the White House to make at least 3,000 daily arrests — a quota that immigration attorneys say will almost certainly result in 'collateral' arrests that could tear apart families and communities with mixed legal status. The president has also approved a record-breaking budget to hire more ICE officers and expand immigration detention center space across the country, making the agency one of the most expensive law enforcement agencies in the world, with a budget larger than most countries' militaries. More than 57,000 people are currently held in ICE custody, or roughly 140 percent more than its detention capacity. A vast majority of those immigrants do not have criminal records and 93 percent have not been convicted of any violent crime.
