In 2002, while visiting his children and standing in a driveway in El Monte, California,Ronald Da Silva, 29, was shot and killed by Luis Humberto Gonzales, a known gang member and illegal from Mexico with a prior criminal record. Gonzales had been deported in 1999 after burglary charges, but re-entered the U.S. illegally. He fled to Mexico immediately after the shooting.
Ultimately, he received an 11-year sentence for manslaughter. Following his release in 2019, he was deported.
Ronald’s mother, Angel Mom Agnes Gibboney, has been an outspoken critic of sanctuary policies and shared the tragic personal cost of what happens when politicians put optics and soundbites ahead of the safety of their citizens.
As California Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Democrats push a bill that would use taxpayer dollars to fund legal defense for immigrants facing deportation, Gibboney spoke with Fox News Digital and urged voters to “stop this insanity.”
AB 2600, introduced by Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Oakland) aims to expand state-funded legal representation for immigrants — including undocumented adults — facing deportation proceedings in immigration court.
Existing law, subject to available funding, provides legal counsel to immigrant youth in California.
The new bill wouldsimilarly “Provide legal counsel to every covered individual subject to certain immigration proceedings if that individual is not otherwise being provided counsel, as specified.”
“The bill would define a covered individual to include an individual who is not represented by counsel and who satisfies the indigency requirements established by the administrator and one or more of certain specified criteria relating to the connection of them or their immigration case to the State of California.”
Gibboney told Fox Digital she is “outraged” by the bill.
“My son was murdered,” she said. “Not one politician has ever contacted me. Not one politician said, ‘I’m so sorry that this previously deported criminalillegal alienshot and killed your son.’ Not one of them.”
