Chelo’s “Que Sacrificio” might not be the typical drag performance you’d see at any other pride festival. But Orgullo Fest in Boyle Heights was full of performers singing and dancing cumbia, mariachi and more.

State to compensate Rio Claro couple for land
Tuesday 2 February 2021
A couple from Rio Claro who were unable to use 36 acres of their 46-acre property because it was earmarked for a proposed highway from Princes Town to Mayaro in 2013 will receive compensation from the State.
On Tuesday, Justice Frank Seepersad ordered the State to pay Andrew and Gabriella Rodriguez $175,000 in compensation as he declared that their rights to enjoyment of their property were infringed.
“The State effectively paused the claimants’ rights and barred them from the full enjoyment of their property for over three years although there was no compliance with the statutory provisions in relation to land acquisition.”
