This had to be a process that would be carefully monitored by the defenders of the homelessness of California, public defenders and legal experts. But instead the case was thrown away by the judge – leaving some stakeholders to wonder if it It makes sense at all to arrest homeless peopleS
Calm Marisa Kendall Explaining, following the decision of the US Supreme Court last year, giving local authorities with more powers to clear homeless camps, cities in California have adopted more pronounced policies forbidding public camping – including the citation and arrest of UNHOUSED residents.
But some lawyers and the residents who represent are ready to bring their cases to jurors to demonstrate the disadvantages of imposing a camping bans and to clear their names. This includes Wickey Two Hands, a 77-year-old homeless man who was ready to be the first person tried in court according to the ban on Freen’s camping after police arrested him last year.
On April 10, however, a judge eventually rejected all the accusations because the city waited too long to pursue.
The conclusion of the case emphasizes the significant period of time, work and resources – not only from the city and the county, but also the lawyer, activists and local journalists on two hands – to implement a policy that seeks to sanction the public camping.
- Ron lifted a treeProfessor of Law at the University of Pacific: “When you think about all the participating people, from the police to the city prosecutor’s office to judges and court clerks, etc., these are probably hundreds of hours of work and thousands of dollars, and that money will be better spent by simply offering two -handed housing.”

Senate leader of GOP Brian Jones Of San Diego, for example, is the author of a bill that will add regulatory railings to the Department of State Hospitals releases sexually violent predatorsS In his fourth attempt to push the proposal, the Committee on Senate Safety Unanimously approved the bill earlier this month. Last year, the proposal died in the assembly after passing through the Senate and in previous years the bill never passed through the Commission.
Jones says that after prop. 36 He noticed a change between the Democrats and their attitude to more stringent deprivation measures.
- Jones: “Smart Democrats receive it. Voters spoke exceptionally.”
But some defenders of criminal justice do not see it that way. Tinish Holins, CEO of Californians for Safety and Justice, said that the legislature also developed bills that the organization sponsors, including those that would expand the state’s efforts for clear criminal records and require the California Department of correction to apply more loans to good behavior to a reduction in prisoners’ timeS
- Hilles: “Even Prop. 36 was not a referendum on reform. There is still a lot of support for different approaches to public safety, which really deal with the root cause and prevent the crime from happening in the first place.”
More federal attacks against CA College Students
As part of President Donald Trump’s impetus to reduce the assistance of undocumented immigrants, his administration takes away a vital policy that allows California to help students who have no legal statuswrites Calmatters’ Adam EchelmanS
In 2022, federal trio-which provides financial assistance and consultation to low-income students and first-generation students-they have also given a special permission in California to serve students who have no legal status. But in March, the US Department of Education said it took a waiver of colleges and universities in California, which use federal funds to “provide services to illegal aliens”.
It is difficult to track how many students in California do not have legal status, but some data suggest that this can number thousands – most of whom visit colleges in the community. More than 100,000 students in California are reported to have been enrolled in trio programs.
