Prosecutors were forced to dismiss numerous felony charges against protesters, many of which relied on inaccurate reports and misrepresented video evidence. These reports from Department of Homeland Security agents contained false statements about the sequence of events and even misidentified defendants. This incompetence extends to the top, as the U.S. Attorney for LA has not publicly acknowledged the dismissal of these felonies.

The Trump administration issued an executive order framing homelessness as a crime, intending to remove unhoused individuals from public spaces. The order cites a rise in homelessness, linking it to drug addiction and mental health issues, and proposes shifting individuals into long-term institutional settings. This approach prioritizes public safety through forced commitment and enforcement of restrictions like prohibiting open drug use and urban camping. Critics note a lack of focus on addressing the root causes of homelessness, with the administration instead planning to end support for “housing first” policies, without providing additional funding for housing, and warning that those who are viewed as outside of the norm, may be next.
