FOX 11's FoxPhil was inside the LA City Council Chambers as protests erupted Tuesday morning.
While de León has been formally censured by the council, the decision is largely symbolic and currently bears no penalties under the City Charter. The council cannot remove a member. There is a recall effort against de León that is in the process of collecting signatures.
Harris-Dawson said in a tweet on Friday that he was not "ready to excuse" de León's behavior, with Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez agreeing. The council requires 10 members for a quorum -- which means it can afford to lose four members to still hold a meeting, with the Sixth District seat vacant after Nury Martinez's resignation.
No council member has publicly voiced interest in challenging Krekorian for the council presidency. The council will also hold an election for president pro tempore, the council's second-in-command. That post is currently held by Councilman Curren Price. Embattled Councilman Kevin de León -- who has defied widespread calls to resign for his role in the City Hall racism scandal -- made an unexpected appearance at Friday's meeting, his first time showing up in the chamber since Oct. 11. But protesters were quick to shout for de León to leave, and de León was no longer present after a conversation with Council President Paul Krekorian and a 45-minute recess.
