The person managing the encampment plans to set up another hidden site after they're swept on Monday.

Under the afternoon sun on a dry patch of land on Tuesday, April 30, Arthur Infante bounced back and forth across a dusty migrant encampment he set up in March, getting people air pumps, tent stakes, propane tanks, water jugs, heating equipment and bubbles for the kids.

Infante says once the city and Union Pacific sweep the encampment, he'll build another and keep it hidden as long as possible, as he did with this one. A handful of migrants have cars parked there, none with license plates. While kids blew bubbles or rode on bikes through the dirt in the middle of the encampment, people continued asking Infante for various tools and supplies — and even though Infante could reach into the back of his pickup truck for just about anything, he came up short for items like a carjack.

"I've been around town, and the cops keep moving me," Barrett told Infante."They said this is where you set up at if you're going to live in a tent."
