Gov. Newsom issues order of removal of homeless encampments

Published 2024-07-26
California Governor Gavin Newsom has issued an executive order to remove homeless encampments throughout California on Thursday.

Earlier this summer, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to enforce bans on encampments in public areas.

Newsom hopes to clean up makeshift shelters, tents, and clutter that fill the California streets, shopping centers, and along highways.

  • A little too late. He Has Ruined so many cities in California. I don’t know if we can recover from his mess they Go after presidents Why can’t they do something with him? I can’t believe people think he’s doing a great job.
  • @an-tm3250
    The state gets enough federal money for each homeless person. High time they stopped diverting it into THEIR pockets.
  • This is the true America. As a homeless working American, I feel the nation who will remove but not house me every day.

    Where are those homeless people going to go? What is your plan for housing them if you’re going to kick them out of their in encampment are you just gonna leave them wandering the streets or what’s the plan? I mean I hope there’s a Plan B. We all know that Kamal is district in San Francisco and Governor Niece district, which is all of California, they like Plan B so, what’s the Plan B?
