Protests and church services are still allowed under California’s COVID-19 restrictions because they’re protected speech. One judge in San Diego says strip clubs are too — and should be allowed to stay open. However, on Friday, state Attorney General Xavier Beccera ordered two clubs in San Diego to shut down. The legal fight is not over though.
