The eviction generated such an outcry that Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said the police department will create a new policy to cease evictions during an emergency.
As South Florida prepared for Hurricane Dorian, one woman in Miami-Dade County was evicted from her apartment on Friday, leaving herself, her brother and her adult son shelterless., 75-year-old Maris Cazañes, her 81-year-old brother and her adult son, whose age was not reported, were removed from their apartment in South Beach by the Miami-Dade Police Department. Cazañes has lived in the apartment for 28 years.
Some weren't surprised by the treatment."Nobody cares about the elderly people. It is very sad. I am a senior living here in South Beach for 40 years," wrote Miriam Segal. However, it appears the turtles have not found a temporary home, as comments on Velasquez's Facebook post asked citizens to help in taking care of them.
