Los Angeles County terminated a parking lot rental lease it held with Grace Community Church last week, an act that legal counsel for the church is describing as harassment and retaliation for having disobeyed the city’s coronavirus lockdown order.

In an Aug. 28 letter provided to The Daily Wire, Los Angeles County’s Department of Public Works gave Grace Community Church 30 days’ notice that its lease for the parking lot was over and warned that any private property left on the premises after Oct. 1 would be confiscated. The church had been leasing a large portion of their lot from the county for 45 years, for which they paid $24,904.23 quarterly.
