Rainbow Family Ordered to Vacate Plumas National Forest

US Forest Service cites environmental, health, and tribal concerns in unprecedented eviction of long-standing annual gathering.

Around 500 members of the Rainbow Family have been given 48 hours to leave or face fines and jail time.
This marks the first time the group's annual event has been forcibly canceled in over 50 years.
The Forest Service highlighted risks to natural resources, fire danger, and public health as key reasons for the order.
Local tribes and officials expressed concerns over the environmental impact and lack of permits.
The gathering, attracting 5,000-10,000 people annually, had planned to bring up to 10,000 visitors to the area.
