Bastards evicted an autistic person from her home, with the approval of a judge, after the rich Fuggers to whom she paid her rent didn’t pay the rich Fuggers who owned the building. (www.kare11.com)

Janelle “Sky” Hansen was removed from her apartment in Minnetonka, Minnesota, in the northern USA, by Hennepin County Sheriff’s deputies. Those deputies had a court order, implying that at least one judge also participated in the commission of this crime against humanity. The deputies lied that they had no choice in the matter.

From the bodycam video, it’s clear that she received nowhere near 14 days’ notice. It looks more like 14 minutes.

Sky was evicted in June, 2025, and remains homeless to this day.

This is real. In order to formally evict, it needs to go to court. Because eviction is a civil matter, most places don't give access to a public defender. This means that the tenant must retain legal counsel or fill the paperwork out themselves. I've heard of at least one local case where the defendant was publicly berated by the judge for not applying the correct spacing to the document. Most people don't have the time to be lawyers as well as working jobs and raising kids. It's ludicrous but it's the default status.

It sounds like she theoretically got fourteen days to respond, but wasn't notified. In my state, it's five. It should be a minimum of thirty, but half our state legislature is realtors and landowners. Evictions follow a person around, too, and make it harder for them to find new housing.

If you hate this news story, check out tenant right to counsel, which is a new movement to guarantee legal defense for evictees. Cities are slowly adopting it, and it needs to happen everywhere.
