On March 24, 2025, O'Farrell ordered 400+ cops to raid Echo Park Lake. LAPD assaulted tenants and protestors, breaking the arm of Street Watch LA organizer, Isaac Scher.
The encampment grew into a safe haven for many who lost housing while escaping domestic violence or after COVID-related layoffs and evictions. This thriving community created a jobs program, community garden, hot-water showers, a kitchen, and much more.
On March 24 and 25, 2021, Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell ordered the militarized eviction of the community that made Echo Park Lake their home for 18 months. O'Farrell is gone, but the eviction's violent legacy of criminalization and displacement continues in his former district and beyond.

LA Public Press@lapublicpress.bsky.social · 6mo agoLA County leaders want to make it harder to evict tenants targeted by ICE. But they can’t agree on how The Board of Supervisors passed a motion to raise the rent debt threshold in unincorporated areas and could extend protections countywide.
Today the Board strengthened protections for tenants in unincorporated areas. We showed up to demand county-wide protections, and in response Lindsey Horvath said she will introduce a motion, to be voted on next week, to raise the evictable rent debt threshold to 3 months' FMR for the entire county.
