Before taking office, LA Councilmember @hugoforcd13.bsky.social helpled unhoused people during sweeps.
Now? He sweeps dozens of encampments monthly.

Hugo used to speak out against 41.18, LA’s law that criminalizes being unhoused. During Hugo’s 1st year in office, 41.18 arrests rose 522% in CD13.

LA Councilman Hugo Soto-Martínez said he would end sweeps, when he campaigned for office. Now, activists say he broke his promise.

Read more about that @thelareporter.bsky.social:

Hugo Soto-Martinez once compared 41.18--an LA law that criminalizes existing in public--to racial profiling.

Hugo later admitted he wouldn't repeal his district's 41.18 zones but claimed he wouldn't enforce them.

During his first year in office, 41.18 arrests went up 522% in Hugo’s district.

New story @thelareporter.bsky.social:

LA City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez went back on his word to end sweeps and repeal 41.18, a city law criminalizing homelessness, unhoused constituents and mutual aid groups say.

Los Angeles: On Thursday, September 4, LA City Councilmember (CD13) Hugo Soto-Martinez swept the encampment at Juanita and Beverly, and a fence was erected on the sidewalk to ensure our friends could not return.

Sweeps destroy shelter/IDs, putting people at greater risk of ICE abduction (already happening at encampments in LA). A huge number of undocumented Angelenos can no longer afford rent bc it’s unsafe to go to work. Now is the time to end sweeps @hugoforcd13.bsky.social. Stop making ICE’s job easier.

Anyone supporting LA Councilmember @hugoforcd13.bsky.social’s re-election need to sit with his hypocrisy.
Sweeps destroy shelter/IDs, making it easier for ICE to abduct undocumented folks at encampments (already happening) at a time when many people can’t pay rent bc it’s unsafe to go to work.

Honestly disgusted by anyone heaping even an ounce of praise on Gavin Newsom. His goon squads arrested our friends for “trespassing” for living under an overpass and smeared their belongings in dog shit to mock them. They’ve been trying to get into a shelter for over a year. This is blue MAGA.

Please donate to keep my friend Terriann housed! She’s a mother of three, does so much for the community, and has been working hard to get sober.

LA City Council strikes again

Katy Yaroslavsky votes in line with the most conservative members of LA City Council 99.9% of the time. With "progressives" like this, who needs Republicans?

Why does LA City Councilmember Katy Young Yaroslavsky hate poor people? Katy is passing even more 41.18 criminalization zones through LA City Council even though her district already has more of these zones than any other district in LA!

Reminded today of this timeless adage

Each day, LA finds new ways to harass its community members and prioritize NIMBYs over everyone else. Call Nithya's office and demand they stop harassing the single unhoused man who lives on Locksley Place.

If you don't know about LA's National Special Security Event designation, you have no idea what's really happening in our city. Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom handed the Department of Homeland Security unprecedented authority to coordinate with local "law enforcement" through 2028.

But any time you hear Mayor Karen Bass, Governor Gavin Newsom, or their allies speak out against the feds, remember the truth:
They're the ones who rolled out the red carpet, welcoming ICE, Trump, and fascism to Los Angeles.
