A North Hollywood business owner is outraged after the judge ruled that the City of Los Angeles will not have to pay for any of the damages a SWAT team caused nearly two years ago.

'I mean it's so outrageous,' business owner Carlos Peña said. 'You know it feels like I'm frustrated. I feel defenseless in other words.'The nightmare started on Aug. 4, 2022 — the day Peña watched his nearly 30-year-old business get destroyed. On that day, a federal fugitive stormed into Peña's North Hollywood print shop, attacked him and threw him out while U.S.

The officers tried to flush the suspect out for 13 hours, repeatedly firing tear gas, contaminating all of Peña's printers, ink as well as a whole supply of T-shirts and banners.It was not covered by insurance, and the U.S. Marshals twice denied his claim for about $60,000 in equipment and wages lost, forcing Peña to sue the city for damages.
