There was a large police presence at the tent city Tuesday as the RNC said it was removing abandoned tents and destroyed property in the area, but protesters at the site are disputing that.

“In the interest of the motoring public, officers are removing abandoned tents and destroyed property,” the RNC posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “This property can be retrieved by the owners at RNC HQ.”

But activist Mark Wilson posted that police “removed tents belonging to people that weren’t in them at that very moment, and told people to remove tents during the day and remove all belongings from site during the day.” Police say they’re not removing anyone, just abandoned tents and property. Those here at Tent City say that’s not case. About 15-20 rents remain here after the police have left.
