The Biden administration is staying out of the growing problem of homeowners having their properties taken over by squatters who can only be evicted through lengthy and costly legal proceedings.

During yesterday’s White House news briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was about where Biden stood on the subject of property owners fighting against squatters.

“My understanding is that this is obviously a local issue,” Jean-Pierre said. “We are certainly tracking that issue. The rights of property owners and renters must be protected. And we believe that ultimately what needs to happen is that the local government needs to make sure that they address this, and they take action.”

When ask if the administration would support a federal law similar to the one passed last week in Florida that would enable law enforcement to immediately remove squatters from private property, Jean-Pierre deflected the question by stating, “I’m not going to get into hypotheticals from here.”
