(Sacramento, CA) — Sacramento police officers and fire crews cleared out Camp Resolution on Monday morning after people living at the self-governing homeless encampment refused to leave and barricaded themselves. The eviction is due to a lease agreement with the city expiring on August 25th. Those in the encampment had to be out by the 26th.
Officers closed off Colfax Street in North Sacramento and faced hostility as some people were unwilling to move. Crews had to remove barbed wire and propane tanks that people put up hours earlier to block the entrance of the camp.
People were reportedly taken out of the camp in handcuffs, and crews hauling away material from the site can be see driving trailers off the property.
