California Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order to remove homeless encampments statewide, directing state agencies on the process while leaving the final decision to local authorities. This follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing cities to enforce bans on outdoor sleeping. Newsom aims to address the homelessness crisis, a key issue during his governorship, while facing increased criticism from Republicans as Vice President Kamala Harris begins her presidential campaign.
