Among the hundreds of supporters of Donald Trump who gathered in downtown Los Angeles to demonstrate on Wednesday was an individual who was definitely not there to protest, but to earn an honest living.
Images transmitted by the local FOX channel 11 briefly showed a street vendor. The Hispanic adult, with a white face mask and a cap of Los Angeles Rams , was driving his hot dog cart in front of City Hall, pushing his way through the angry protesters .

During the demonstration there were some clashes and fights , which caused several arrests by the Police.
But the street vendor, even knowing that because he was an immigrant, perhaps undocumented, he would be exposed to possible aggression, he still played it in a tense environment .
During the pandemic There have been support programs for undocumented workers in California , but obviously that’s not enough.
