The U.S. Forest Service has initiated a series of evictions targeting homeless encampments in the Deschutes National Forest near Bend, Oregon, marking what has been described as the largest sweep of its kind in recent history. Hundreds of individuals are being forced from camps, notably along China Hat Road, as closure orders have gone into effect. Advocates for the homeless express concern for the well-being of those displaced, emphasizing the urgency of finding alternative housing solutions. Many campers, some of whom have lived in the forest for years, are left scrambling to find new locations under pressure from authorities. A federal judge has recently ruled in favor of the eviction efforts, prioritizing fire hazard mitigation over the immediate needs of the homeless population. As the situation unfolds, advocates are calling for compassion and a more humane approach to addressing homelessness.
