San Francisco Mayor Announces Aggressive Homeless Encampment Sweeps Following Supreme Court Ruling

Mayor London Breed plans to introduce criminal penalties and retrain city employees as part of a major effort to clear streets.

The Supreme Court's recent decision allows cities to ban homeless encampments, providing legal backing for the crackdown.
Mayor Breed emphasizes a shift from compassion to accountability, aiming to improve public safety and retain businesses.
Sweeps will begin in August, with city workers retrained to comply with new legal guidelines.
Critics argue the mayor has delayed action despite the urgency of the crisis.
The new policy includes offering shelter and services to those evicted from encampments.
