Homeless Encampment Cleared from LA's Dockweiler State Beach

Authorities enforce governor's directive, sparking debate over homelessness solutions and public safety.

California Governor Gavin Newsom's executive order has led to increased efforts to clear homeless encampments from public spaces.
Dockweiler State Beach, located behind Los Angeles International Airport, saw city and county officials remove tents and personal belongings.
Residents had expressed concerns over safety and sanitation, prompting the cleanup operation organized by LA City Councilmember Traci Park.
Critics, including LA Mayor Karen Bass, argue that clearing encampments without providing services or shelter is ineffective.
The Supreme Court ruling in June has influenced local governments to adopt stricter enforcement against public camping.
