Homeless rights; Helene complication; Illegal border path


American cities large and small have been grappling with a homeless crisis.

Sunday on Full Measure, we’re off to Grants Pass, Oregon, the center point of a Supreme Court case that tackled the right of the homeless versus the rights of taxpayers to expel them from public parks and properties.

It’s a debate that tore apart the town and prompted residents to vote out the city council members in charge as the controversy raged.

Is it “cruel and unusual punishment” to ban the homeless from pitching tents and sleeping– and frequently using drugs and sex trafficking– in public areas?

Also Sunday Lisa Fletcher reports on an unexpected complicating factor that’s making recovery after Hurricane Helene more difficult and dangerous.

It has to do with mountains of kindling created and left behind in the aftermath.

And Scott Thuman updates his reporting on the perilous illegal immigration pathway through Panama’s Darien Gap.

Shutting down this superhighway is key to keeping the US border secure.

See you Sunday!

    Have you ever been homeless? After MK-Ultra did their work on my family in Minneapolis Minnesota in the 1960s, resulting in several deaths of my immediate family, I found out about homeless children – I became one. I vividly, I mean real vividly, recall the first evening. As I stood alone waiting for the light to turn green at 28th and Lyndale avenue south, some things occurred to me. I was cold and my arms were bare. I had no hat. I was hungry and I had no food or money. I was alone without a home. I was embarrassed because things like this were foreign to me. My mother had abandoned me after they killed my brothers and father. My sister ended up at a pastor’s home, but there was no room for me. Homelessness can strike like a thief in the night as it struck me. Yes, I know about homelessness. I know it is real and ugly. That’s all for now.
