Orange County, Calif., reached a settlement Tuesday that will allow law enforcement to immediately arrest homeless people in certain locations, including the John Wayne Airport, flood control channels and high-risk wilderness areas. Homeless individuals will be arrested immediately in areas that include John Wayne Airport, flood control channels and high-risk wilderness areas. Police in other designated areas will have to first reach out to social workers to place homeless people in shelters. "If it seems obvious that a patient has a medical condition then they will be transported to a county clinic for assessment" before being placed in a shelter, Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do said. The Orange County Sheriff's Department is not allowed to enforce anti-camping laws in contract cities without adequate shelter for their homeless population.
