Headline: UNCAPTIONED: California Governor Says State Will Intervene in Federal Case Protecting Homeless
Caption: California Governor Says State Will Intervene in Federal Case Protecting Homeless . On September 12, California Governor Gavin Newsom said that the state will move ahead with clearing homeless encampments despite an ongoing federal court case. Fox News reports that the case has barred San Francisco from taking action until more shelter beds are made available. Newsom has accused the judge overseeing the case of going too far in preventing the state from tackling a serious problem. I hope this goes to the Supreme Court. And that's a hell of a statement coming from a progressive Democrat, Newsom revealed his administration's plan to file an amicus brief to overturn the ruling in an interview with Politico. Advocates for the rights of homeless people argue that the city has been clearing encampments without offering alternative shelters. Advocates also accuse the city of throwing out peoples' belongings, including cellphones and medications. Fox News reports that nearly one-third of all homeless people in the U.S. are in California. "People's lives are at risk; it's unacceptable what's happening on the streets and sidewalks." "We're now complicit, all of us, at all levels of government and all branches of government.", Gavin Newsom, California Governor, via Fox News.
