The judge ruled that Soto-Martinez\u2019s support of street vending fell within First Amendment protections. Dane told The Eastsider, &#8220;This was about the City refusing to uphold the law. It was about the City allowing a councilmember to ignore an ordinance.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/mynewsla.com\/business\/2026\/05\/27\/judge-dismisses-la-city-college-swap-meet-suit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">My News L.A.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                Support Eastside Community News \u2014 Now Tax-Deductible<\/p>\n<p>You can now make a tax-deductible contribution to support The Eastsider\u2019s civic and accountability coverage on the Eastside.<\/p>\n<p>Choose what works for you: <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Become a monthly supporter and help us reach 500 neighbors funding daily reporting<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Make a single gift to our new Eastside Community News Fund<\/p>\n<p>Strong local news keeps residents informed and leaders accountable.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your consideration.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Jes\u00fas Sanchez, Publisher<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/givebutter.com\/the-eastside-community-news-fund-bottom-article-appeal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                Contribute for more and better Eastside news!<br \/>\n            <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A rendering of a bus-only lane on Colorado Boulevard in Eagle Rock.
