Officials in Atlanta, a World Cup host city, threw away tents, medication, identification, and other items belonging to homeless people without any warning, according to a report.
The items were collected from a public park not far from where many soccer fans have been gathering to watch the soccer tournament, The Guardian reports.
Some of the items taken by city workers reportedly include blood pressure pills, an insulin kit, and hormones.
In response to the accusations, the city's senior advisor on homelessness, Chatiqua Ellison, told the paper that the area that the affected area of Freedom Park was “not an encampment” and that the item removals were part of “routine park maintenance.”
She reportedly said that because the site was not an encampment and the action was not considered a “sweep,” the city was not obligated to give a warning before officials moved in to seize the items.

President Donald Trump rang the opening bells of the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq exchanges remotely from the Oval Office Monday morning to tout the launch of “Trump accounts,” which will use federal money and private donations to start newborns off with $1,000 in savings.
But the dynamics of that move — the country’s first billionaire president leveraging his financial experience to help the masses — could not be more at odds with the unprecedented crypto enterprise Trump and his sons have been running over the last year.
Trump, who called Bitcoin a “scam” back in 2021, made more than $1.4 billion through his family’s own cryptocurrency ventures in 2025, while hundreds of thousands of everyday investors in these companies lost their shirts. It was the president’s most profitable year ever across any business in his multi-decade career.
Fatime Elrgdawy, a 29-year-old software project engineer from California, told Reuters she lost more than $1,000 in savings on one $TRUMP coin..

The White House reportedly instructed FBI Director Kash Patel to investigate a leak to theNew York Times over the newspaper's reporting of President Donald Trump’s Qatari-donated Air Force One alternative.
Patel was planning to fly to Chicago last week to see his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins, a country music singer, and to visit an FBI field office in the city when he abruptly cancelled the trip.
It emerged that Patel was called in to the White House, where he spent “roughly eight hours running the investigation from there rather than FBI headquarters,” on Friday, the newspaper reports. The Times noted the move marked “a major departure from historical practice.”
Two people familiar with the situation told the Times that Patel briefed senior administration officials about the investigation into the paper’s Air Force One report. One person told the newspaper that the FBI director “had his own concerns about the type of information publicly disclosed about the plane.”

Trump says military will ‘completely decimate and destroy’ Iran if he’s assassinatedThe US has launched fresh strikes on Iran less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump threatened to “decimate and destroy” the country in the event of his assassination.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted a message on X Saturday night saying, “Iran made a poor choice. Now they pay.”
Central Command confirmed that its forces attacked Iran in retaliation for the nation’s alleged attack on a civilian-crewed container ship in the Strait of Hormuz. The attack comes just hours after Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei vowed revenge for the death of his father at the start of the war.
“Iran was provided yet another opportunity to demonstrate adherence to the Memorandum of Understanding after being held accountable for earlier attacks on commercial vessels but has again failed,” Central Command said in a statement. “In response, the United States is imposing a heavy cost by continuing to degrade Iran’s ab..
