capitalbnews.org (2024-12-29). Encampment Sweeps Surge Nationwide Following Supreme Court RulingThere's been a dramatic explosive rise in homeless in the United States, this year the rise is at 18% on top of last year's increase of 13%. The mainstream corporate media is using Biden's excuse that it's due to housing costs and a surge of migrants. That's a diversion of responsibiities! It's likely due in large part to the recently legalized displacement and lack of support for impoverish unhoused families in the so-called richest country on earth. These kinds of tent encampment cleanings or sweeps have been a regular occurrence in Los Angeles for years. But lately, the sweeps are almost daily after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June confirmed that cities can remove houseless people and their belongings from public spaces without offering supportive services like shelter.
