Gov. Gavin Newsom asked the Supreme Court to intervene, claiming California city leaders face an 'unsurmountable roadblock' in clearing homeless encampments.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks during the Clinton Global Initiative meeting on Sept. 18, 2023 in New York City.
"Our government officials are trapped, at risk of suit for taking action but also accountable for the consequences of inaction," Newsom’s lawyers wrote."Our communities will suffer for it." Newsom’s office said restraining orders blocking anti-camping ordinances are granted"not by policymakers or democratically elected officials, but federal judges." for example, Newsom's amicus brief claims a"collaborative" policy between local officials and police officers to clear and clean the most dangerous encampment within 24 to 72 hours was instead delayed by nine months when a court intervened.
and homelessness, the courts have tied the hands of state and local governments that seek to use commonsense approaches to clean our streets and provide help for unhoused Californians living in inhumane conditions," Newsom said in a statement, announcing the filing.
