California Democrat faces ouster call after her former professor tells crowd to 'f--- up' ICE agent

California state Sen.

Sasha Renée Pérez, D-Pasadena, faced a call Sunday to lose her chairmanship of the Senate Education Committee after appearing at an immigration summit alongside a former professor who repeatedly told the crowd to "f--- up" a named ICE agent.

Video from last Sunday’s La Defensa Del Pueblo summit showed California State University, Los Angeles, professor Melina Abdullah identifying an ICE agent, saying he "may be staying" at a local Hilton Garden Inn and giving the crowd the hotel’s street address.

Abdullah repeatedly said to "f--- him up" before later explaining the phrase could include exposing immigration agents or making them uncomfortable.

She also encouraged attendees to "study guerrilla warfare." CALIFORNIA BILL WOULD LET ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PROFESSORS KEEP TEACHING US STUDENTS REMOTELY California Republican Party delegate and attorney Elizabeth Barcohana told Fox News Digital on Sunday that Pérez should no longer lead the Senate committee responsible for education policy.

"I believe Pérez should be removed as chair of education committee," Barcohana said.

Abdullah is a professor of Pan-African Studies at Cal State LA and a leader of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles.

The university describes Abdullah as a "scholar-activist" who views her academic role as connected to broader activist movements .

After Abdullah’s remarks, Pérez took the microphone and referenced their former professor-student relationship.

"Y’all, it’s really hard to follow up my old college professor, Dr.

Melina Abdullah… It’s such an honor to share space with you and to be able to sit next to you here," Pérez said.

"I unequivocally condemn violence in all its forms, regardless of who uses it or whom it targets.

I do not support, endorse, or condone violence against anyone, and my silence during another panelist’s remarks must never be misrepresented as agreement.
