Heads up: Local law enforcement in the US may start rounding up homeless / houseless folk on or around April 2nd and jailing / imprisoning them.
We had a person in local govt overhear that the initiative is coming from the federal govt.
Not just sweeps. Not just your normal harassment. But a big initiative to remove them and lock them up.
I have *not* validated this. But keep an ear open in your local town to see if you're hearing similar.
Even if this specific initiative turns out to be false, the US federal govt has made it clear that the homeless / houseless are being targeted. Now is a good time to get involved in community efforts to feed and house them. Meet them as you are able and talk with them.
We need to protect our neighbors.
Edit: There's a lot you can do to stop this (and really any homeless sweep). Get involved. Get Quick React Teams up. If a sweep happens, you can go to the site and start slowing the police down. Be creative. Plenty of legal... ways to do this. But you'll need numbers for those on site.
