The president of the Los Angeles City Council resigned Monday after audio leaked of her racist remarks about a colleague's child and Oaxacan immigrants in the city.

, includes Martinez saying a white council member “handled his young Black son as though he were an accessory" and describing the colleague's son in Spanish as “like a monkey.”

"I was like, this kid needs a beatdown," Martinez reportedly said. "Let me take him around the corner and then I'll bring him back."Martinez also reportedly referred to Oaxacan immigrants living in the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles as “little short dark people.

The conversation reportedly took place in October 2021 between Martinez, council members Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León, and Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera, according to the Times. The conversation was largely focused on the council's frustration with proposed redistricting maps.

Multiple council candidates, political groups and sitting council members had called for Martinez's resignation, including Bonin.
