Early this morning, US Marshals and MPD officers descended upon the
Olive Branch Community's house at 1006 M Street, NW, to evict the
residents of the building. The Marshals searched the building and removed
some of the personal property belonging to Olive Branch residents. One
resident described the eviction process as "political
oppression."

The City Council voted Monday to put homeless people in jail if they are
caught sitting or lying on downtown sidewalks. Violators of the new
ordinance could face a $500 fine and 60 days in jail.
