Las Vegas: Vendors Build “Wall of Taco Trucks” to Protest Trump

HeadlineOct 20, 2016

Hundreds protested at the University of Nevada outside the presidential debate last night. Hundreds more rallied outside Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel, where some vendors used their carts to build a “wall of taco trucks” to protest Trump’s calls to increase the massive border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. This is Adelina Catota, who works in housekeeping at the Trump Hotel.

Adelina Catota: “I’ve been working here at Trump’s hotel for nine years, and all I want to say is that we should all be equal, because we came to this country to work and not to ask things of the government. So, here we are, united.”
