Judge Says San Francisco Can’t Clear Homeless Camps

The former Golden State of California is unreconcilable for many who were born in or have lived in the state since the 1980s

A supermajority of radical legislatures in Sacramento has passed countless pieces of legislation deconstructing traditional American values. In addition, George Soros-supported District Attorneys are choosing to not prosecute criminals leading to a looming dystopian collapse in growing sections of the state’s largest metro areas.

San Francisco residents tend to be some of the most tolerant in the world, but the massive amount of homeless in the city by the bay has many parents fuming over encampments blocking sidewalks near the schools attended by their children.

City hall finally decided to get controlled the out-of-control tent cities and started clearing out camps.

Last year one of the largest and most enduring homeless encampments in San Francisco was cleared out. The so-called Merlin Street Encampment under an I-80 overpass was built on an abandoned state-owned parking lot, and people are wondering if the encampment is gone for good.

Well, the homeless found free legal representation and sued San Francisco over homeless encampment sweeps

Now, a federal judge just temporarily banned San Francisco from clearing homeless camps in the city.

Magistrate Judge Donna M. Ryu said that the city violated its own policies when clearing homeless camps.

Ryu cited evidence that found the city did not offer inhabitants shelter before clearing the encampments. The plaintiffs also stated that the belongings of some of those in the encampments were improperly seized or thrown out.

The Epoch Times reported:

“A federal judge has temporarily banned San Francisco from clearing homeless encampments, saying the city violated its own policies by failing to offer other shelter.”

“Magistrate Judge Donna M. Ryu in U.S. District Court in Oakland granted an emergency order Friday night that bars the city from taking away tents and confiscating the belongings of encampment dwellers, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.”

“The move came in a lawsuit filed on behalf of homeless plaintiffs that sought to stop San Francisco from dismantling homeless encampments until it has thousands of additional shelter beds.”

“Ryu cited evidence presented by the plaintiffs that the city regularly and illegally failed to offer shelter to inhabitants before clearing the encampments and improperly seized or threw out their belongings, including cellphones, medication, identification, and even prosthetic limbs.”

“There are over 7,800 homeless people in San Francisco – only 34 beds were available as of Friday.”

“Rather than solving this crisis, Democrats are allowing thousands to cross the border illegally.”
