Parents in Seattle are raging at local officials after the district decided to invite students back to the classrooms without cleaning up a massive homeless camp that “overran” the property during the pandemic.

“Rather than idle words, the designation has potential financial consequences. President Trump issued a memo earlier this month directing the DOJ to identify jurisdictions that, in its view, were not enforcing the law appropriately. Designated cities could lose their federal funding,” reports NBC New York.
