The Citizens’ Coalition notes the County’s report showing a 35% drop in illegal street takeovers in Los Angeles County Supervisorial District 2, with even greater declines in Compton-area communities. But this progress is not enough. Street takeovers still endanger residents, and the goal must be complete elimination. Every remaining incident is unacceptable and demands stronger action.

The Citizens’ Coalition condemns the alleged child sexual assaults committed by Compton pastor Quintilo Sagrero, calling the case a grave betrayal and a symptom of broader moral decline affecting the community. Authorities believe additional victims may exist and urge anyone with information to come forward to help bring full justice.
