LOS ANGELES: Illegal lock out is happening right now at 8989 South State St. in Southgate - please come to defend the tenants in support!

An elderly couple that has been in their home in Southgate in @Rendon63rd district for 39yrs had their home sold out from under them (sounds like dual tracking) by a shady real estate company-Strategic Fund 73 LLC.

There was no formal eviction process. This is illegal.

@Rendon63rd Evictions are carried out by sheriffs. But today @SouthGatePD showed up & removed the elderly family- locked them out of their house.

Why is Southgate PD doing evictions? And why did Officer Morales (car 98, badge 10218) not respond and walk away when tenant organizers arrived?

The couple - Ruffino and Norma Morales have been under extreme stress due to the process. Norma who does dialysis had her blood pressure drop so low due to the stress that she was hospitalized.

And who is behind Strategic Fund 73 LLC?

Ruffino is 85 years old. @Rendon63rd why are @SouthGatePD evicting 85 year olds from their home illegally IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC?

@TELEMUNDO52 @Univision34LA @desk_34 Ruffino Morales speaking to press. "There is nowhere else for us to go. The courts and the Southgate police Department have failed us. We need justice. We need our home.”
