Detroit police reworking eviction policy after tenants wrongfully removed
Detroit police are reviewing policy relating to how their officers approach landlord-tenant disagreements after one woman and her kids were wrongfully kicked out of their apartment. Activists are encouraging others to speak up about their own experiences as well.
Falsely labeled as a squatter by her landlord in late 2016, White says she was the victim of a lie that was perpetrated by law enforcement who forced her out of her home.
"I had nowhere to go and I ultimately ended up homeless because of it," she said.
