Suit Challenges Costa Mesa Ordinance
MALDEF, the ACLU of Southern California and the National Day Laborer’s Organizing Network (NDLON) have filed a lawsuit challenging the City of Costa Mesa’s anti-solicitation ordinance as unconstitutional. The civil rights groups say ordinance violates day laborers’ First Amendment rights.
The Feb. 2, 2010 lawsuit was filed against the City of Costa Mesa on behalf of the Asociacion de Jornaleros de Costa Mesa and the Colectivo Tonantzin, whose members have been restricted from peaceably expressing their need and availability for employment in the city’s public areas due to the ordinance.
