After two evictions this week, camp Nenookaasi residents have taken over another vacant lot in the East Phillips Neighborhood in Minneapolis.
City public works put down boulders and loose concrete pieces on the land of previous camps to keep residents from returning.
Now an estimated 90 people inhabit a new cramped lot.
Camp Organizer Nicole Mason says the repeated evictions won't stop supporters from protecting those living in the camp.
" I told the police, I told Eric Hansen, I am an Ojibwa grandmother. You can't get any stronger than that," Mason said, " And I'm not going anywhere. We need to start hold the city accountable for these evictions."
Concerns for city leaders include incidents of violence, drug use, and out of control fires that have been reported in and around the camps.
Mason says although city officials tout available beds for residents the 90 still at the camp are still waiting for help, and that the two recent camp evictions came without warning.
