Los Angeles Paleteros Warned Against Selling Near Schools

An immigrant rights group has launched a campaign to educate ice cream vendors in Los Angeles about a little known city ordinance. CHIRLA says the push cart sellers,known as paleteros, have lodged complaints about increasing run-ins with police.
Many of the paleteros weren’t familiar with a city law that prohibits sales of any kind within 500 feet of a school between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Ernesto Arce reports from Los Angeles.
