      This isn’t even the first time something like this has happened. To my knowledge, this exact same thing happened in Modesto a few years ago. I sincerely doubt those are the only two. Dozer sweeps aren’t cheap, either; I’m pretty sure the city could just house these folks for whatever they’re paying to do the sweep. This is purely about flexing on our most vulnerable population.
