An encampment of people in a south Atlanta community were evicted on Wednesday. But they didn’t go without objection, according to the Fulton County Marshal’s Office.
They say they were tasked with clearing out an area that was initially thought to be just one unit, but was made up of improvised shipping containers and makeshift enclosures.

Earlier in the week, deputies tried serving a final eviction notice to the people living there, they were met by two aggressive people who shouted things at them like, “You need to leave this property now, this is private a tribal community,” “Get the [expletive] out of here,” “This is Indian land,” and more.
Deputies say they quickly determined the people living there weren’t the leaseholders and behaved like sovereign citizens, who they say are typically violent towards law enforcement officers.
