A group of residents gathered outside Los Angeles City Hall this afternoon to ask elected officials to officially declare President Trump a persona non grata — a person who is unwelcome. “We are calling for a symbolic shunning of him,” said campaign director Joseph Keating. Organizers with a new group called the Decimals held a news conference and delivered their petition to Mayor Eric Garcetti and each City Council member. Similar petitions spurred by Trump’s presidency are underway in Seattle and Portland, Ore.“We are a group of people who have come together to make a point,” Keating said. “We are hopeful Los Angeles will be a leader,” Keating said.
