Hollenbeck Park may feature nice views, but don’t sit down to enjoy them! You might get ticketed.

People wonder why homelessness doesn’t seem to be lessening despite record funds to homeless services and this is one of the reasons, contract fraud. And let it be known this is endemic to the Lib Dem project. Very grateful to @controller.lacity.gov for ensuring our $$ goes to us!

β€œFrom 2022 to 2023, 41.18 arrests increased from 91 to 260 in the 1st Council District, or by about 185%, according to data from the LA City Controller. The number of arrests dropped to 135 in 2024β€”a figure that’s still nearly [2x] higher than in 2022, when Councilmember Gil Cedillo was in office.”

Eunisses Hernandez called homeless encampment sweeps "inhumane." Then, she joined LA City Council and things changed. Since taking office, arrests of unhoused people have skyrocketed in Hernandez’s district.

The police raids and sweeps at Mountain View are unacceptableβ€”as is the silence from Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez and her office. Pigs have repeatedly sexually assaulted and harassed women at the sweeps Eunisses's office orders. Everyone has been arrested and cited with 41.18. 1/

Hugo Soto-Martinez once compared 41.18--an LA law that criminalizes existing in public--to racial profiling.

Hugo later admitted he wouldn't repeal his district's 41.18 zones but claimed he wouldn't enforce them.

During his first year in office, 41.18 arrests went up 522% in Hugo’s district.

Something thats really wild is that @mayor.lacity.gov inside save program utilizes a β€œsweep” as the focal point for housing. So residents of an encampment have law enforcement and sanitation barreling down on them and have no choice but to be shuttled to any number of subpar temp housing facilities.
