📰 San Francisco close to taking new step to fight homelessness
San Francisco is planning to implement strict new parking limits for RVs and oversized vehicles, regardless of whether they are used as housing, to address the issue of homeless people living in RVs. Mayor Daniel Lurie and supporters argue that motor homes are not suitable for long-term living, and the city must provide shelter to those in need while cleaning up the streets. RV residents registered with the city as of May are exempt from the parking limits but must accept temporary or longer-term housing and dispose of their RVs. The city has allocated over half a million dollars to buy RVs from residents at $175 per foot to help them find stable housing solutions. The proposal, targeting at least 400 RVs, has faced some opposition but aims to address the homeless crisis in the city.
Regarding the aggressive plan to clear homeless encampments across California, permits for RV dwellers in San Francisco would last for six months, with those arriving after May not eligible for the program and required to follow the two-hour parking rule. RV residents suggest opening a safe parking lot for them to access essential services, but the city previously closed an RV lot due to high costs and inefficiency in transitioning people to stable housing. The mayor’s new proposal includes increased funding for RV parking enforcement and $11 million for a small number of households to move to subsidized housing. While this may not be enough to house all RV dwellers, the city also offers hotel vouchers and other housing subsidies to assist those in need.
📰 Illinois coroner releases new details about woman found dead on illegal immigrant’s property
The Lake County Coroner’s Office refuted claims that Megan Bos, a woman found dead in a storage container at the home of an illegal immigrant, was decapitated. The autopsy revealed no signs of trauma or struggle, but her body was in an advanced state of decomposition and exposed to chemical substances, complicating the cause-of-death analysis. The DHS initially claimed she had been beheaded, but the coroner’s office stated otherwise. Bos’ cause of death remains undetermined, with toxicology showing fentanyl, cocaine, and morphine in her system, raising suspicions of a drug-related or homicidal death. Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, the Mexican illegal immigrant arrested in connection with the case, was released after his first court appearance, sparking outrage.
Mendoza-Gonzalez was arrested again by ICE agents in Chicago, and remains in ICE custody. The coroner’s office mentioned the possibility of asphyxial death but noted the difficulty in confirming it due to decomposition. The presence of potentially lethal drugs in Bos’ body further complicates distinguishing between accidental drug intoxication and asphyxial death. Mendoza-Gonzalez is accused of concealing Bos’ body in his yard for nearly two months and abusing her corpse, claiming she overdosed at his house. The release of Mendoza-Gonzalez after his initial arrest raised concerns about the laws that allowed a suspected criminal alien to be released.

📰 Progressive DA who dismissed alleged sex offender’s attempted kidnapping charges faces recall petition
A dispute over crime policies in Aurora, Colorado, has led to a recall attempt of newly-elected district attorney Amy Padden by Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky. Jurinsky accuses Padden of implementing inadequate crime policies, such as dismissing charges against a registered sex offender accused of attempting to kidnap a child. Padden’s office cited the offender’s mental incompetence as the reason for dismissal. Jurinsky also points to other cases where she believes Padden’s soft-on-crime approach led to lenient sentences for serious offenses. Jurinsky and her supporters are working to gather 75,000 signatures within 60 days to officially recall Padden, who will then have the option to resign or run for re-election.
