Tensions Escalate in Months-Long Feud Between Sacramento District Attorney and City Over Its Handling of Homeless Encampments
The feud is raising questions about the responsibility city officials bear in addressing homelessness and what legal recourse is available if a city fails to enforce the law.
Frustrated Sacramento residents who called the city for help dealing with homeless encampments near their homes were directed to “be thankful” for being housed, a lawsuit against the city says, one of many allegations against Sacramento’s government as tensions over its handling of law enforcement escalate.
The lawsuit against the city from the district attorney, Thien Ho, was consolidated with another suit from attorney Ognian Gavrilov as the cases were “nearly identical,” claiming the city’s lack of enforcement of its own public ordinances has led to a “spiraling descent into decay” and an “utter collapse into chaos.”
