Awful. Embarrassed by the attention yesterday, the city displaced ARCH campers today under the cover of darkness. People were not offered housing & w/ state sweeps of the closest underpass imminent, they have nowhere else to go near the services offered downtown.

At 4:08 AM APD & Austin Resource Recovery displaced the ARCH Camp. They stole belongings w/ the orange claw pictured below. Campers grabbed what they could and moved across the street. Sleepers were told if they set back up they’d be cited and arrested. We’re out here now

And the city claiming that this displacement is in any way necessary to provide services & offer housing, & that it is part of the "Guided Path" program is a perfect example of why people don't trust the city & many of its service providers. Its transparently false propaganda.
