About ninety migrants were at the encampment, but only a dozen or so hung around to wait for the city to kick them out.
on Wednesday, May 8, but nearly all of the residents of the encampment were gone by the time the sweep started.
"We had a number of people disperse overnight. That was expected," he says."Just with the way the energy was going, we thought everybody was going to go overnight, which is a shame." "They said the conditions were appalling," Infante says."People are not going to want to stay with this." When asked why Infante continues building and running encampments, he says:"Who else is going to fucking feed them?"or didn't want to stay at them. Infante says that while the city was doing outreach and offering housing ahead of the sweep, migrants"refused to go to the DCC" because of their"past history of how crowded it was when there was the influx of migrants that showed up during winter.
Infante echoes Ewing's thoughts and says that the sweep happened"calmly" despite the challenges with DCC. He adds that he"really appreciates" that police stayed"way back" during the sweep because he was worried"they might agitate the situation." "They put up a Palestinian Flag, which I'm part of that movement, but it's not the fucking place," he says."You're hijacking one issue so you can highlight another."
