February 2017: The L.A. City Council voted to decriminalize the 10,000 street vendors operating on Los Angeles sidewalks. The decriminalization of street vendors was motivated by a few members of the City Council reacting in January 2017, to the new President enforcing a national crackdown on immigrants entering the country illegally. At that time, it was still a misdemeanor offense under Los Angeles Municipal Code 42.00(b). The City Council needed to go through the Controller, District Attorney, and City attorney in order to change the municipal code.
