SHIELD Act (Safeguarding Homes from Illegal Entry, Living and Dwelling Act).
Under this, squatting will be a deportable offense for migrants that come into the country.
Also in NY, there is an effort underway by state legislators to define squatters as criminal trespassers and not as tenants and to treat them accordingly.
Hopefully this goes more nationwide, would be a nice win for property owners.
Agreed, but it's absurd that this was ever an issue. Still, it is heartening that there are still issues so blatantly absurd that a solid majority can agree on them.
