Following a shooting incident, Los Angeles city officials installed metallic barriers in MacArthur Park, displacing approximately 120 street vendors. While authorities cite safety concerns, vendors argue the barriers disproportionately affect low-income communities and advocate for alternative solutions.
En medio de la persecución y ataques contra los inmigrantes orquestados por el presidente Donald Trump, los vendedores ambulantes del MacArthur Park fueron desalojados de la acera de la calle Alvarado, al encontrarse a principios de semana con bardas metálicas instaladas por el Ayuntamiento de Los Ángeles.
Sin embargo, el exconcejal respondió con ese desalojo a la presión de los residentes en un intercambio de votos. “Eunisses Hernández está haciendo lo mismo que hizo Gil Cedillo; nos dicen una cosa y hacen otra”, cuestionó Raúl Claros, cofundador de la organización California Rising.
