BREAKING Villanueva campaign event at Olvera Street ends abruptly after protesters shout down sheriff
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva abruptly ended a campaign appearance at Olvera Street in downtown L.A. on Friday afternoon after being shouted down by protesters, some of whom later confronted City Councilman Kevin de León nearby.
"Olvera Street was left to become a homeless encampment but under Sheriff Villanueva's leadership, it was restored in just three weeks using the HOST model and secured housing placements for the unhoused," the news release said. Protesters immediately began shouting, prompting the sheriff to pause before saying,"Well, let's ignore that and lets keep talking."
Other supporters then broke into a chant:"Villanueva! Villanueva!" However, the sheriff's opponents were not deterred. Some of them tried to approach Villanueva but were blocked by several men. Whether those men were private security officials or plainclothes LAUSD deputies was unclear.
