Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list This week marks the two-year anniversary of a controversial police raid that saw Ecuadorian authorities storm the Mexican embassy in Quito to arrest Glas, who had sought asylum in the diplomatic facility.

On March 13, an L.A. judge ruled that the owner of the donkey’s La Carreta stand, Richard Hernandez, was to be evicted. “Good Bye Los Angeles it’s been great!” reads a sign at the stand. “Since 1968 the Hernandez family has brought you timeless memories. Generations have been photographed here. We lost our case with the City of Los Angeles, we want to stay. But Mayor Bass won’t negotiate.” The ruling handed down by the Los Angeles County Superior Court is the culmination of a years-long saga involving the La Carreta owner and the city. In 2024, Hernandez was given a 30-day eviction notice by the Board of Commissioners for the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument Authority, which manages the historic and commercial resources of Olvera Street. To try to resolve any problems the city may have had with the stand, Hernandez said he has attempted to pay for any …
