After a federal judge issued a ruling reaffirming a previous higher court’s order preventing cities from clearing homeless encampments in response to a lawsuit filed against the City of San Francisco, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he’s prepared to assist the city by filing an amicus brief in support, according to statements he made during an interview with Politico on Sept. 12.

“I’ve had it. We’re going to intervene, and I hope it goes to the Supreme Court,” Mr. Newsom said. “And that’s [quite] a statement for a progressive Democrat out of California to say.”
