- Fremont city council passes ordinance targeting homeless encampments — The Fremont city council in California passed a controversial ordinance that bans camping on public property and criminalizes "aiding and abetting" homeless encampments. The ordinance, described as one of the strictest in the state, was passed despite significant opposition from civil rights groups and community organizations. Critics argue that the law effectively criminalizes homelessness and those who assist the unhoused, with penalties including up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. The ordinance was passed with only one council member opposing it, amid protests and public outcry.
