Coworkers rushed to lift her to her feet, but she could barely walk. Pain radiated from the right side of her body, where she said she felt the impact most. Her supervisors were alerted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was in excruciating pain,” Vernon, 47, said. “It was very painful to walk on my leg because I lost a lot of movement in my right leg. And that’s what’s bothering me to this day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident and her employer’s response became a turning point that unraveled her life. The once-active Oakland native now spends her days in a wheelchair, living at an Alameda County skilled nursing facility with no income. Vernon blames her employer, Prospect Airport Services, for allegedly failing to follow California’s requirements for responding to workplace injuries. As weeks passed without her returning to work, Vernon’s job was terminated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s workers’ compensation system is intended to ensure employees injured on the job quickly receive medical care while claims are investigated. Benefits may also include partial wage replacement during recovery. But interviews with Vernon, several coworkers and a former supervisor suggest those protections may have broken down in her case, illustrating how workers can fall through the system’s cracks with devastating financial and medical consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vernon lost her housing, car and life’s savings after 22 years of working for airline services contractors at the Oakland airport, she said, including five years as a Prospect employee. “It’s unfair. I needed a lot of help throughout the process, and I felt like they failed me. I didn’t know where to begin as far as medical coverage, how to seek any type of support,” Vernon said. “I hit rock bottom. I became homeless because of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most California employers are responsible for arranging prompt medical attention for a work-related injury. State law also required the company to give Vernon a workers’ compensation claim form within a day and report the incident to its insurance company within five days, both critical steps to beginning the benefits process. None of that happened, according to Vernon and a former supervisor. Instead, Vernon said her manager, Salesh Prasad, told her to go home shortly after her fall. He directed a coworker to drive her to the airport employee parking lot, where she was left alone in her car, with no clear guidance about medical care. She tried contacting Prasad in the days that followed, but he became unresponsive, she said, finally asking her to turn in her security badge. Attempts to reach Prospect Airport Services were unsuccessful. Unifi Aviation, which owns Prospect, declined several requests for comment. Unifi, North America’s largest provider of aviation services, operates at more than 240 airports. The Atlanta-based\u003ca href=\"https://www.carlyle.com/media-room/news-release-archive/carlyle-announces-strategic-financing-unifi-aviation\"> company\u003c/a>, which generates about $2 billion in revenue, is a subsidiary of the privately held Argenbright Holdings, its majority owner, and Delta Air Lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether the company’s alleged failure to respond to Vernon’s injury as required by law was an isolated incident or part of a broader pattern. Failures to follow workers’ compensation laws are often the result of employers not properly training or overseeing their managers, said Jason Marcus, former president of the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association, whose members represent injured workers in the workers’ compensation system. “I’ve certainly seen my fair share of what we kind of refer to as horror stories,” said Marcus, who has nearly two decades of experience. “Somebody gets hurt, suffers a serious injury, and is kind of left to their own devices without any real help or guidance from their employer. And that’s just not how it’s supposed to work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12089306/birthright-citizenship-is-the-story-of-san-francisco-advocates-celebrate-ruling\">‘Birthright citizenship is the story of San Francisco’: advocates celebrate ruling\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For the first time in months, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12033789/lets-fight-back-127-years-after-momentous-supreme-court-ruling-san-francisco-honors-wong-kim-ark\">Norman Wong\u003c/a> breathed a sigh of relief. The Bay Area resident and great-grandson of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12088125/as-america-turns-250-san-franciscos-role-in-defining-citizenship-endures\">Wong Kim Ark\u003c/a> — a San Francisco-born Chinese American cook whose case helped establish birthright citizenship 128 years ago — spent the last year crisscrossing the country, defending a right he couldn’t believe was in jeopardy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12086891/supreme-court-upholds-birthright-citizenship\">rejected President Donald Trump’s efforts\u003c/a> to undo the right with a 2025 executive order, Norman Wong allowed himself a rare moment of celebration. “It’s nice not to be mad. It is nice to be happy,” Norman Wong said. “I don’t consider it a personal victory. I consider it a victory for America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling in \u003cem>Trump v. Barbara\u003c/em> preserved a constitutional right that has stood for more than a century: that nearly anyone born on U.S. soil is a citizen.

That’s after the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that all children born on US soil are US citizens, regardless of their parents’ immigration status.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12089491/oakland-airport-skycap-says-workplace-injury-left-her-homeless\">Oakland airport skycap says workplace injury left her homeless\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On the morning of Jan. 1, 2025, Oakland airport skycap Keiana Vernon collapsed while helping passengers check luggage outside Terminal 2. Coworkers rushed to lift her to her feet, but she could barely walk. Pain radiated from the right side of her body, where she said she felt the impact most. Her supervisors were alerted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was in excruciating pain,” Vernon, 47, said. “It was very painful to walk on my leg because I lost a lot of movement in my right leg. And that’s what’s bothering me to this day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident and her employer’s response became a turning point that unraveled her life. The once-active Oakland native now spends her days in a wheelchair, living at an Alameda County skilled nursing facility with no income. Vernon blames her employer, Prospect Airport Services, for allegedly failing to follow California’s requirements for responding to workplace injuries. As weeks passed without her returning to work, Vernon’s job was terminated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s workers’ compensation system is intended to ensure employees injured on the job quickly receive medical care while claims are investigated. Benefits may also include partial wage replacement during recovery. But interviews with Vernon, several coworkers and a former supervisor suggest those protections may have broken down in her case, illustrating how workers can fall through the system’s cracks with devastating financial and medical consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I needed a lot of help throughout the process, and I felt like they failed me. I didn’t know where to begin as far as medical coverage, how to seek any type of support,” Vernon said. “I hit rock bottom. I became homeless because of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most California employers are responsible for arranging prompt medical attention for a work-related injury. State law also required the company to give Vernon a workers’ compensation claim form within a day and report the incident to its insurance company within five days, both critical steps to beginning the benefits process. None of that happened, according to Vernon and a former supervisor. Instead, Vernon said her manager, Salesh Prasad, told her to go home shortly after her fall. He directed a coworker to drive her to the airport employee parking lot, where she was left alone in her car, with no clear guidance about medical care. She tried contacting Prasad in the days that followed, but he became unresponsive, she said, finally asking her to turn in her security badge. Attempts to reach Prospect Airport Services were unsuccessful. Unifi Aviation, which owns Prospect, declined several requests for comment. Unifi, North America’s largest provider of aviation services, operates at more than 240 airports. The Atlanta-based\u003ca href=\"https://www.carlyle.com/media-room/news-release-archive/carlyle-announces-strategic-financing-unifi-aviation\"> company\u003c/a>, which generates about $2 billion in revenue, is a subsidiary of the privately held Argenbright Holdings, its majority owner, and Delta Air Lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether the company’s alleged failure to respond to Vernon’s injury as required by law was an isolated incident or part of a broader pattern. Failures to follow workers’ compensation laws are often the result of employers not properly training or overseeing their managers, said Jason Marcus, former president of the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association, whose members represent injured workers in the workers’ compensation system. “I’ve certainly seen my fair share of what we kind of refer to as horror stories,” said Marcus, who has nearly two decades of experience. “Somebody gets hurt, suffers a serious injury, and is kind of left to their own devices without any real help or guidance from their employer. And that’s just not how it’s supposed to work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12089306/birthright-citizenship-is-the-story-of-san-francisco-advocates-celebrate-ruling\">‘Birthright citizenship is the story of San Francisco’: advocates celebrate ruling\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For the first time in months, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12033789/lets-fight-back-127-years-after-momentous-supreme-court-ruling-san-francisco-honors-wong-kim-ark\">Norman Wong\u003c/a> breathed a sigh of relief.

It is nice to be happy,” Norman Wong said. “I don’t consider it a personal victory. I consider it a victory for America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling in \u003cem>Trump v.

It sought to bar citizenship for babies born in the U.S. to parents who either entered the country illegally or who are living and working here legally with temporary visas. The executive order never went into effect because every lower court judge who reviewed it concluded, in the words of one judge, that it was “blatantly unconstitutional.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Citizenship, then and now,” Chief Justice John Roberts concluded, “was the right to have rights–to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land.’ We keep that promise today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil M. Gorsuch and Samuel A. Alito Jr. dissented. In Alito’s dissent, he wrote: “[t]his is one of the most important decisions in the history of the Court, and in my judgment, the Court has made a serious mistake.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more than a century, babies born in the U.S. have been granted citizenship based on the 14th Amendment, which says that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” Initially introduced in response to laws in Southern states restricting the rights of formerly enslaved Black Americans after the Civil War, the Supreme Court ruled in 1898 that the 14th Amendment applies to all children born in the U.S. to parents “domiciled” within the country. This case was brought by Wong Kim Ark, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015449/a-129-year-old-san-francisco-lawsuit-could-stop-trump-from-ending-birthright-citizenship\">a San Francisco-born man\u003c/a> who successfully defended his claim to citizenship — after officials claimed that the fact that his parents were Chinese nationals at the time of his birth disqualified him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now, only narrow exceptions existed for children whose parents were high-ranking foreign diplomats or were in the U.S. as an invading army.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://next.kqed.org/news/12089263/sacramento-county-seeks-dogs-sent-to-rescue-under-investigation-for-animal-abuse\">\u003cstrong>Sacramento County seeks dogs sent to rescue under investigation for animal abuse\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sacramento County Animal Services has \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-i295jgO3jG55I7Xc-vCtZcVEDaXVA3_/view\">filed a legal demand\u003c/a> to retrieve dogs that were transferred to a “no-kill” rescue at the heart of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12088995/117-dog-remains-found-at-mirandas-rescue-during-multiagency-investigation\">sprawling multi-agency investigation into allegations\u003c/a> of animal abuse and fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The filing alleges the dogs were transferred to Miranda’s Rescue through “straw” rescues without the county’s approval or knowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early May, the Humboldt County Sheriff began investigating Shannon Miranda, the rescue’s owner, after two local animal advocates, Jenna Moore and Jennifer Raymond, went onto the 50-acre rescue property at night and dug up the bodies of eight dogs that appeared to have gunshot wounds to the head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, investigators from the sheriff’s office, FBI, California Department of Justice, USDA and Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office served a second search warrant on Miranda’s property, recovering 117 dog bodies, 21 skulls, adoption paperwork and other evidence. “ The facts that have been uncovered are deeply disturbing, and I understand the community’s desire for answers, accountability, and justice,” Sheriff William Honsal said at \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=mEwSAYzEwY4umkw1&fbclid=IwY2xjawSv29dleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFoazl0Mm90TXdJblhGQk92c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHpjmjUPZOmagRbfhPTDMj_qG8uKWisSi1w5RBncYw6HbMD5WE_MSh4A1Om1X_aem_qBr9zErXpswRVvGUc6EW7Q&v=YwUejiZ3Hng&feature=youtu.be\">a press conference\u003c/a> on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, 91 microchips have been recovered from the scene, he said.

This case was brought by Wong Kim Ark, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015449/a-129-year-old-san-francisco-lawsuit-could-stop-trump-from-ending-birthright-citizenship\">a San Francisco-born man\u003c/a> who successfully defended his claim to citizenship — after officials claimed that the fact that his parents were Chinese nationals at the time of his birth disqualified him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now, only narrow exceptions existed for children whose parents were high-ranking foreign diplomats or were in the U.S. as an invading army.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://next.kqed.org/news/12089263/sacramento-county-seeks-dogs-sent-to-rescue-under-investigation-for-animal-abuse\">\u003cstrong>Sacramento County seeks dogs sent to rescue under investigation for animal abuse\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sacramento County Animal Services has \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-i295jgO3jG55I7Xc-vCtZcVEDaXVA3_/view\">filed a legal demand\u003c/a> to retrieve dogs that were transferred to a “no-kill” rescue at the heart of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12088995/117-dog-remains-found-at-mirandas-rescue-during-multiagency-investigation\">sprawling multi-agency investigation into allegations\u003c/a> of animal abuse and fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The filing alleges the dogs were transferred to Miranda’s Rescue through “straw” rescues without the county’s approval or knowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early May, the Humboldt County Sheriff began investigating Shannon Miranda, the rescue’s owner, after two local animal advocates, Jenna Moore and Jennifer Raymond, went onto the 50-acre rescue property at night and dug up the bodies of eight dogs that appeared to have gunshot wounds to the head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, investigators from the sheriff’s office, FBI, California Department of Justice, USDA and Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office served a second search warrant on Miranda’s property, recovering 117 dog bodies, 21 skulls, adoption paperwork and other evidence. “ The facts that have been uncovered are deeply disturbing, and I understand the community’s desire for answers, accountability, and justice,” Sheriff William Honsal said at \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=mEwSAYzEwY4umkw1&fbclid=IwY2xjawSv29dleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFoazl0Mm90TXdJblhGQk92c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHpjmjUPZOmagRbfhPTDMj_qG8uKWisSi1w5RBncYw6HbMD5WE_MSh4A1Om1X_aem_qBr9zErXpswRVvGUc6EW7Q&v=YwUejiZ3Hng&feature=youtu.be\">a press conference\u003c/a> on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, 91 microchips have been recovered from the scene, he said.

The administration “wanted to kill off the TPS statute,” he said, and “this victory allows them to accomplish much the same result without having to go through Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates and analysts caution against assuming the birthright case will follow suit. Theresa Cardinal Brown, an immigration policy expert and nonresident fellow at Cornell Law School, said the TPS, asylum and green card rulings all relied on interpretations of existing immigration statutes — while birthright citizenship “is a fundamentally constitutional question,” requiring the court to overturn an over century-old precedent rooted in the 14th Amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most people that I know, including people who would like to see birthright go away, think it’s a long shot,” Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12088944\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12088944\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/TPSSCOTUSGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1345\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/TPSSCOTUSGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/TPSSCOTUSGetty-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/TPSSCOTUSGetty-1536x1033.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Members of the National TPS Alliance rally at the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., on April 29, 2026. \u003ccite>(Alex Wroblewski/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What the rulings share in common, Brown said, is their target: people living in the U.S. under discretionary protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people who have spent a lot of time in the United States in these kinds of discretionary statuses — whether it’s humanitarian parole, deferred action, temporary protected status — are all at risk,” Brown said.

Johnson\u003c/a>, which upended California’s homelessness strategy by allowing cities to enforce blanket bans on camping — even if no shelter beds are available. Immediately after the decision, unhoused Californians and the people who help them \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2024/08/homeless-encampments-sweep-reax/\">reported seeing an increase\u003c/a> in enforcement.

That included \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/04/01/nx-s1-5345862/wisconsin-supreme-court-crawford-schimel-election-results\">some $20 million from Musk\u003c/a> (more on him below).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the marquee race of the elections Tuesday in a state that was decided by 1 point in the 2024 presidential election, and Crawford won it handily, by 10 points with more than 95% of the vote in.[aside postID=news_12033066 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/paypal-mafia_web-img-1020x574.png']Republicans, on the other hand, won the two special elections in Florida by roughly 14 points each. But these are very red districts. Republican members of Congress, who had represented these seats before being plucked for the Trump administration, won them by more than 30 points in November, so Democrats ate into the margins significantly there as well — though indications were they might do even better. (These are the seats that were held by Mike Waltz, now the national security adviser, and Matt Gaetz, whom Trump wanted to be attorney general before his nomination was pulled over concerns that he lacked sufficient Republican support to be confirmed.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were 60 Republican House members who won in 2024 by 15 points or less — and they might be concerned after these results, according to \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results,_2024:_Congressional_margin_of_victory_analysis\">Ballotpedia\u003c/a>.

On abortion rights, Crawford accuses Schimel of supporting an 1849 state law that is still on the books and before the court. It was used to block abortion in Wisconsin for over a year after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the federal right to abortion in 2022. Currently, abortion is legal up to about 20 weeks of pregnancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12033066 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/paypal-mafia_web-img-1020x574.png']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schimel acknowledges he has said the 1849 law is valid but says that abortion should be up to “\u003ca href=\"https://www.wuwm.com/government-politics/2025-03-13/crawford-schimel-square-off-over-abortion-trump-and-musk-in-wisconsin-supreme-court-debate\">the will of the people.\u003c/a>” Democrats note he’s \u003ca href=\"https://archive.jsonline.com/blogs/news/280308632.html\">opposed abortion in the past\u003c/a>. Crawford talks about how she represented Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin when she was a private attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wisconsin is also home to one of the country’s biggest battles over labor rights. As an attorney, Crawford worked for teachers opposed to a 2011 law prohibiting most public employees from collective bargaining. A judge\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/12/07/nx-s1-5217931/wisconsin-court-strikes-down-controversial-law-in-a-win-for-labor\"> recently blocked that law,\u003c/a> which could be headed to the state supreme court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Schimel has said he’ll vote yes on a measure also on the ballot Tuesday to place voter ID requirements in the state constitution. Crawford says she doesn’t think a judicial candidate should take a public position on something that could end up being interpreted by the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Schimel campaign has also deployed an issue that GOP candidates say worked for them in 2024 — opposition to transgender rights. One campaign ad features a woman saying Crawford “sides with” radicals in favor of allowing “transitioning male teachers” in girls’ bathrooms at school. Advocates for transgender rights say it’s an example of fearmongering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12034034\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12034034\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1205\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-1.jpg 1600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-1-800x603.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-1-1020x768.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-1-160x121.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-1-1536x1157.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dane County Judge Susan Crawford, candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, prepares to speak at a campaign stop at Racine County Democratic Party headquarters. \u003ccite>(Chuck Quirmbach/WUWM)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Musk’s millions, his paid petition and the outside money\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Elon Musk and groups linked to him have reportedly spent at least $20 million in support of Schimel.

Fremont recently took a bigger step than most, by also prohibiting anyone from “aiding and abetting” camping on public property and private land. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC1651500540\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Some members of the KQED podcast team are represented by The Screen Actors Guild, American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. San Francisco Northern California Local.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is a computer-generated transcript. While our team has reviewed it, there may be errors.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:01:16] Fremont now has one of, it seems like the most extreme camping bans in California is how I’ve seen it described. What would this ban, this ordinance that the city just passed, what would it do exactly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:01:30] So the basics are that it bans camping on public property citywide. It also bans camping on private property, and that includes residential property for more than three consecutive nights. The piece that’s really alarmed some people is that it prohibits anyone from, “permitting, aiding, abetting, or concealing camping” on any of that property. A violation of the ordinance is punishable by up to six months in jail or a fine of up to $1 ,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:02:14] Oh, wow. Okay, so when I hear aiding and abetting, I mean, are we talking about people giving a homeless person a blanket or having someone couch surf in your house? Like, what exactly do we mean when we say aiding and abetting?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:02:38] Well, it’s very unclear in the language of the ordinance itself, which is one of the huge issues that a lot of people have with this ordinance. City officials say that they intend to apply it narrowly, but that language is not in the ordinance itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:03] I mean, Vanessa, has there ever been a camping ban quite like this in California, like the one Fremont just passed?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:03:09] So the legal experts I talked to say no. There are certainly laws that ban camping on public property anytime, anywhere, but certainly in California, they say that there is no camping ban that includes this sort of aiding and abetting language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:31] When you hear from city officials about why they passed this ordinance, I mean, how do they talk about the intention here? What do city leaders say about that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:03:42] Good evening, everybody. I’d like to call the city council meeting to order for February 12th.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:03:49] At the city council meeting where council members were considering adopting this ordinance, they brought out a number of city officials to answer their questions. So the head of economic development spoke about some of the impacts of homelessness on the business community. People in charge of homelessness services laid out all of the city’s different efforts around homelessness and the amount of money being spent, which they said is roughly around $8 million a year. And the chief of police, Sean Washington, spoke about how he intended for his officers to use this ordinance, like how they would enforce it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sean Washington \u003c/strong>[00:04:33] The intent will never be to arrest someone for being unhoused. And in fact, our policies prohibit us from doing that. This ordinance is another tool to bring some balance to where there’s conflict or a hazard or a safety concern to our community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:04:59] They frame it as an attempt to take a, quote, balanced approach to dealing with homelessness. So they point out all of the investments that the city has made in providing services, roughly $8 million a year, rental assistance, financial coaching. I mean, there’s mobile health services. As a result, the mayor is proud to point out that they’ve reduced homelessness by more than 20 % from 2022 to 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sean Washington \u003c/strong>[00:05:39] What, I guess, is the fear here that you’re hearing, especially from advocates of the unhoused?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:05:45] For a lot of people, this ordinance came as a bit of a shock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:05:51] It’s a sweeping ban that criminalizes homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:05:56] I talked to Vivian Wan. She’s the CEO of Abode Services. They’re a provider that runs a shelter and some other housing programs in Fremont.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:06:04] We have decades of evidence that that bans like this don’t actually solve homelessness and they actually don’t help cities and communities either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:06:14] She was very worried that just performing core job functions like handing out water, blankets, things that her outreach workers do all the time could violate this law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:06:29] If we don’t disclose where someone is sleeping outside, would that be concealing? So it’s just so egregious in every way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:06:38] Legal experts and advocates, services providers all talked about how vague the language in this ordinance is, right? They said your intentions, no matter how clearly you council members or you police chief or you city attorney say that the intention of this ordinance is to do one thing, the ordinance will be interpreted by courts based on the language that is in it. The language is so broad that people find that very scary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:07:14] Yeah, and I guess as someone who knows very intimately what homelessness looks like in Fremont as someone who’s working with unhoused folks, what do people like Vivian think the city should be doing instead?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:07:29] She points to research evidence that laws like this can have a cascade of negative consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:07:38] People are going to be moving more and not actually working towards their housing goals, you know, hiding more, more scared to actually, you know, get services and move towards housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:07:49] People talk about the stress of constantly moving as really destabilizing for people living on the streets, right? That that can exacerbate mental health problems, it can worsen addiction and that pushing people to more hidden areas takes them away from services. Providers could make it harder for outreach workers to find them. And that can be really harmful in terms of a person’s progress towards finding housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:08:20] It’s not that people don’t want to come inside and you need a stick to get people come inside. There is a lack of resources, a lack of a lack of housing resources. And if there is a ban, it’s not going to solve either one of those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:08:37] I mean, what have you heard from people who live in Fremont about how they’re feeling about this idea?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:08:47] At this time, we will open the floor for public comment. How many cards do we have?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:08:53] One hundred and ninety four.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:08:55] Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:08:56] Yeah, there were more than 70 people who spoke during public comment at this meeting. And there were many, many more who wanted to speak, but didn’t get the chance because of the time limit that was imposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:09:08] Have personally supported homeless outreach efforts. And I believe in compassionate solutions, but allowing encampments is not a solution. It’s neglect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:09:17] And the people who spoke in favor of this law were really appealing to the council to deal with trash and noise and loose dogs. They talked about not being able to open their windows because of campfire smoke from encampments. They complained about parking lots that reek of urine and people showering in their yards or stealing stuff out of their backyards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:09:43] My neighbor has people defecate their front porch, their door continuously for two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:09:55] There were also business owners who talked about their customers complaining to them about encampments surrounding the businesses or just deciding not to patronize those businesses. The public appeared to be deeply divided because a lot of people also spoke during public comment against this ordinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:10:16] I have sympathy for the businesses and residents experiencing the negative effects of some of the unhoused, but most unhoused folks are not creating these problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:10:27] Criminalizing the unhoused and those who help them is inhumane and wrong in every way for a city that claims to be compassionate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:10:41] I mean, so a lot of competing opinions here, it sounds like, but how did the council ultimately vote on this ordinance, Vanessa?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:10:50] After about four and a half hours, they passed it six to one. It was just the vice mayor, Desiree Campbell, who voted against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:11:02] Well, Vanessa, I want to step back just a little bit and just ask you, I mean, why is this happening in Fremont and why is this happening, I guess, now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:11:14] As you probably remember, last summer, the Supreme Court ruled that enforcing laws banning public camping is not a violation of the constitution’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. So cities can fine and jail people under these laws, whether or not there’s alternative shelter available. And a lot of officials, including Governor Newsom, a lot of mayors around California, really welcomed this decision because they said it was going to allow them to do more to clean up encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:55] Zooming in on Fremont, it’s also one of those cities in the Bay Area that doesn’t have enough shelter beds for the number of people who are, in fact, houseless, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:12:05] That’s right. So city staff went over shelter figures at this city council meeting. And according to them, there are 111 year -round shelter beds in the city, plus another 18 reserved for victims of domestic violence. And at the last point in time count, there were around 800 people experiencing homelessness in the city. 600 of those are unsheltered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:34] That doesn’t seem particularly unique, but what is your sense of why this is happening in Fremont in particular?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:12:43] The city has a new mayor, Raj Salwan. He was elected in November and he ran on the promise of change and common sense solutions. So he pitched himself as kind of a problem solver. And homelessness and public safety were among his top issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Raj Salwan \u003c/strong>[00:13:01] You know, frankly, this is complaint driven. So nobody’s going to go around trying to see if somebody’s sleeping outdoors. That’s not the goal. The goal is to address the health and safety risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:13:11] He told me when I interviewed him that his constituents talk about homelessness a lot, but it’s like one of the things that they most want addressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Raj Salwan \u003c/strong>[00:13:22] And we’ve heard concerns about fires and safety and dogs running wild. So we just need a little bit of a code of conduct to kind of rein things in a little bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:13:36] He acknowledged that it’s not a solution.

So where do we go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:15:02] She appealed to people to recognize the humanity of unhoused people and to try to find a way to live in harmony with people who, in her view, don’t have another option. They don’t have an option to be indoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jasmine Grijalva \u003c/strong>[00:15:20] They don’t like looking at us. They don’t want to deal with us.

It also bans camping on private property, and that includes residential property for more than three consecutive nights. The piece that’s really alarmed some people is that it prohibits anyone from, “permitting, aiding, abetting, or concealing camping” on any of that property. A violation of the ordinance is punishable by up to six months in jail or a fine of up to $1 ,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:02:14] Oh, wow. Okay, so when I hear aiding and abetting, I mean, are we talking about people giving a homeless person a blanket or having someone couch surf in your house? Like, what exactly do we mean when we say aiding and abetting?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:02:38] Well, it’s very unclear in the language of the ordinance itself, which is one of the huge issues that a lot of people have with this ordinance. City officials say that they intend to apply it narrowly, but that language is not in the ordinance itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:03] I mean, Vanessa, has there ever been a camping ban quite like this in California, like the one Fremont just passed?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:03:09] So the legal experts I talked to say no. There are certainly laws that ban camping on public property anytime, anywhere, but certainly in California, they say that there is no camping ban that includes this sort of aiding and abetting language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:31] When you hear from city officials about why they passed this ordinance, I mean, how do they talk about the intention here? What do city leaders say about that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:03:42] Good evening, everybody. I’d like to call the city council meeting to order for February 12th.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:03:49] At the city council meeting where council members were considering adopting this ordinance, they brought out a number of city officials to answer their questions. So the head of economic development spoke about some of the impacts of homelessness on the business community. People in charge of homelessness services laid out all of the city’s different efforts around homelessness and the amount of money being spent, which they said is roughly around $8 million a year. And the chief of police, Sean Washington, spoke about how he intended for his officers to use this ordinance, like how they would enforce it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sean Washington \u003c/strong>[00:04:33] The intent will never be to arrest someone for being unhoused. And in fact, our policies prohibit us from doing that. This ordinance is another tool to bring some balance to where there’s conflict or a hazard or a safety concern to our community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:04:59] They frame it as an attempt to take a, quote, balanced approach to dealing with homelessness. So they point out all of the investments that the city has made in providing services, roughly $8 million a year, rental assistance, financial coaching. I mean, there’s mobile health services. As a result, the mayor is proud to point out that they’ve reduced homelessness by more than 20 % from 2022 to 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sean Washington \u003c/strong>[00:05:39] What, I guess, is the fear here that you’re hearing, especially from advocates of the unhoused?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:05:45] For a lot of people, this ordinance came as a bit of a shock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:05:51] It’s a sweeping ban that criminalizes homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:05:56] I talked to Vivian Wan. She’s the CEO of Abode Services. They’re a provider that runs a shelter and some other housing programs in Fremont.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:06:04] We have decades of evidence that that bans like this don’t actually solve homelessness and they actually don’t help cities and communities either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:06:14] She was very worried that just performing core job functions like handing out water, blankets, things that her outreach workers do all the time could violate this law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:06:29] If we don’t disclose where someone is sleeping outside, would that be concealing? So it’s just so egregious in every way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:06:38] Legal experts and advocates, services providers all talked about how vague the language in this ordinance is, right? They said your intentions, no matter how clearly you council members or you police chief or you city attorney say that the intention of this ordinance is to do one thing, the ordinance will be interpreted by courts based on the language that is in it. The language is so broad that people find that very scary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:07:14] Yeah, and I guess as someone who knows very intimately what homelessness looks like in Fremont as someone who’s working with unhoused folks, what do people like Vivian think the city should be doing instead?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:07:29] She points to research evidence that laws like this can have a cascade of negative consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:07:38] People are going to be moving more and not actually working towards their housing goals, you know, hiding more, more scared to actually, you know, get services and move towards housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:07:49] People talk about the stress of constantly moving as really destabilizing for people living on the streets, right? That that can exacerbate mental health problems, it can worsen addiction and that pushing people to more hidden areas takes them away from services. Providers could make it harder for outreach workers to find them. And that can be really harmful in terms of a person’s progress towards finding housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:08:20] It’s not that people don’t want to come inside and you need a stick to get people come inside. There is a lack of resources, a lack of a lack of housing resources. And if there is a ban, it’s not going to solve either one of those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vivian Wan \u003c/strong>[00:08:37] I mean, what have you heard from people who live in Fremont about how they’re feeling about this idea?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:08:47] At this time, we will open the floor for public comment. How many cards do we have?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:08:53] One hundred and ninety four.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:08:55] Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:08:56] Yeah, there were more than 70 people who spoke during public comment at this meeting. And there were many, many more who wanted to speak, but didn’t get the chance because of the time limit that was imposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:09:08] Have personally supported homeless outreach efforts. And I believe in compassionate solutions, but allowing encampments is not a solution. It’s neglect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:09:17] And the people who spoke in favor of this law were really appealing to the council to deal with trash and noise and loose dogs. They talked about not being able to open their windows because of campfire smoke from encampments. They complained about parking lots that reek of urine and people showering in their yards or stealing stuff out of their backyards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:09:43] My neighbor has people defecate their front porch, their door continuously for two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:09:55] There were also business owners who talked about their customers complaining to them about encampments surrounding the businesses or just deciding not to patronize those businesses. The public appeared to be deeply divided because a lot of people also spoke during public comment against this ordinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:10:16] I have sympathy for the businesses and residents experiencing the negative effects of some of the unhoused, but most unhoused folks are not creating these problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>City Council Meeting \u003c/strong>[00:10:27] Criminalizing the unhoused and those who help them is inhumane and wrong in every way for a city that claims to be compassionate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:10:41] I mean, so a lot of competing opinions here, it sounds like, but how did the council ultimately vote on this ordinance, Vanessa?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:10:50] After about four and a half hours, they passed it six to one. It was just the vice mayor, Desiree Campbell, who voted against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:11:02] Well, Vanessa, I want to step back just a little bit and just ask you, I mean, why is this happening in Fremont and why is this happening, I guess, now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:11:14] As you probably remember, last summer, the Supreme Court ruled that enforcing laws banning public camping is not a violation of the constitution’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. So cities can fine and jail people under these laws, whether or not there’s alternative shelter available. And a lot of officials, including Governor Newsom, a lot of mayors around California, really welcomed this decision because they said it was going to allow them to do more to clean up encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:55] Zooming in on Fremont, it’s also one of those cities in the Bay Area that doesn’t have enough shelter beds for the number of people who are, in fact, houseless, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:12:05] That’s right. So city staff went over shelter figures at this city council meeting. And according to them, there are 111 year -round shelter beds in the city, plus another 18 reserved for victims of domestic violence. And at the last point in time count, there were around 800 people experiencing homelessness in the city. 600 of those are unsheltered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:34] That doesn’t seem particularly unique, but what is your sense of why this is happening in Fremont in particular?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:12:43] The city has a new mayor, Raj Salwan. He was elected in November and he ran on the promise of change and common sense solutions. So he pitched himself as kind of a problem solver. And homelessness and public safety were among his top issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Raj Salwan \u003c/strong>[00:13:01] You know, frankly, this is complaint driven. So nobody’s going to go around trying to see if somebody’s sleeping outdoors. That’s not the goal. The goal is to address the health and safety risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:13:11] He told me when I interviewed him that his constituents talk about homelessness a lot, but it’s like one of the things that they most want addressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Raj Salwan \u003c/strong>[00:13:22] And we’ve heard concerns about fires and safety and dogs running wild. So we just need a little bit of a code of conduct to kind of rein things in a little bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:13:36] He acknowledged that it’s not a solution. He said the city would continue to invest in services and shelter and affordable housing, but he talked about wanting to do something for his constituents who have so many complaints about homeless encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Raj Salwan \u003c/strong>[00:14:00] This is what our community is seeking. They want to help our unhoused individuals, but they also want to be able to walk to their normal park and feel safe. And so that’s kind of what we’re trying to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:14:18] What do unhoused people that you spoke with say about how they’re feeling about this ordinance and what it’s going to mean for them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:14:26] I went to an encampment at the edge of the city. It’s along this creek. And one of the people I talked to was a woman named Jasmine Grijalva.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jasmine Grijalva \u003c/strong>[00:14:34] It’s just kind of bizonk though for them to try to tell us that we don’t have the right to try to figure out how we’re going to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:14:42] She estimated there are around 30 people living around this creek, and she said that they had ended up there because it was sort of hidden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jasmine Grijalva \u003c/strong>[00:14:51] What are we supposed to do? Just stand around on corners or in front of the stores or in making beds in front of the stores? They don’t want that either. So where do we go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:15:02] She appealed to people to recognize the humanity of unhoused people and to try to find a way to live in harmony with people who, in her view, don’t have another option. They don’t have an option to be indoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jasmine Grijalva \u003c/strong>[00:15:20] They don’t like looking at us. They don’t want to deal with us. But we’re also, we’re humans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vanessa Rancaño \u003c/strong>[00:15:29] Often I hear unhoused people talk about the idea of sanctioned encampments, you know, some sort of safe space where they can continue to live outside in community, but not worry about being policed and pushed from place to place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jasmine Grijalva \u003c/strong>[00:15:46] If you’re going to kick us out, give us somewhere else that we can be at. Give us something. Don’t just take it all away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:15:59] Seems like it’s not necessarily about one person, one new city leader, sort of trying to push this forward, but really a reflection of what people in Fremont want and sort of where they’re at and how they want the city to deal with homelessness.
