Grace Community Church sued LA County in August of 2021 over their unlawful health orders prohibiting indoor services.
The church met indoors despite the order and in July of 2021, the health department made efforts to stop the services.
“The church said that the citizens have started to realize that they were “being cheated by their own government,” alleging that the imposed coronavirus restrictions were not applied to some “favored groups” such as the demonstrators.
“When many went to the streets to engage in ‘political protests’ against ‘racism’ and ‘police brutality,’ these protestors refused to comply with the pandemic restrictions. Instead of enforcing the public health orders, public officials were all too eager to grant a de facto exception for these favored protestors,” GCC emphasized. Quote link
