Utah's Homelessness "Accountability Center" Sparks Controversy
A 1,300-bed homelessness campus is planned for 16 acres on the edge of Salt Lake City, Utah, combining mass shelter, court-ordered treatment, and "work-conditioned housing."
Supporters call it a model of reform, while advocates warn it mirrors forced labor and internment.
The facility could amount to a detention camp that enforces President Donald Trump's homelessness directive through confinement and forced labor.
The project stems from Trump's executive order titled "Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets."
