Growers lawsuit over hero pay ordinance in Coachella heard in federal court
A federal judge on Friday heard arguments in the lawsuit brought by several agriculture growers who are fighting the city of Coachella s ordinance requiring hero pay to farmworkers. But he made no immediate ruling from the bench.
The growers including the Western Growers Association, California Fresh Fruit Association and Growing Coachella Valley are seeking a preliminary injunction. The city has asked the court to dismiss the case.
The ordinance went into effect on Feb. 10 and requires
certain agricultural businesses
to pay farmworkers an additional $4 per hour, for at least 120 days.
The FBI has received information indicating "armed protests" are being planned at all 50 state capitols and the US Capitol in Washington, DC in the days leading up to President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20, according to an internal bulletin obtained by CNN.

The issue of possible unrest, reported by news outlets across the country as information obtained from an internal bulletin circulated within the FBI, stems from protesters who appear to be at odds with the outcome of the 2020 Presidential election and the possible removal of President Trump from office prior to Inauguration Day.
The FBI s internal bulletin reportedly stated, Armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols from 16 January through at least 20 January, and at the US Capitol from 17 January through 20 January.
