US EditionTeacher Speaks Out Against Homeless Sweeps, Cites Broken Promises by City
- On Monday, law enforcement officials enforced encampment sweeps in East Oakland's homeless sites, including along East 12th Street.
- Officials acted despite city policy stating sweeps should only occur after unhoused people are connected with housing and support services.
- Heidi Almendarez, living on and off in the encampment for about eight years, described multiple moves within a year and no housing offered during sweeps.
- Travis Walker, a local teacher who helps provide meals at the encampment, expressed his frustration with Mayor Barbara Lee’s decision to carry out the sweeps, saying he had supported her based on her earlier promises not to take such actions.
- The ongoing operation priorities include debris and stolen vehicle removal, but limited shelter availability and lack of housing connections suggest sweeps may displace unhoused people without solutions.
