Sacramento is facing another lawsuit over the homelessness crisis. After already suing the city for its response to the situation, District Attorney Thien Ho is now accusing the city of allowing homeless camps to foul area waterways.
The D.A. says the city has let homeless residents pollute the American and Sacramento rivers by dumping human waste and trash. It’s the latest in a series of actions the D.A. has taken, including a warning that his office is investigating criminal liability related to the situation.
City attorney Susana Alcala Wood previously categorized the moves as “political,” citing a potential future race for state A.G. pitting Ho against current Sacramento mayor Darrell Steinberg.
