Party’s support baseYes, squatting is criminal trespassing and should be treated as a crime, not a civil dispute |
Dan Malloy’s answer is based on the following data:
Very strongly agree
No, everyone deserves due process and a day in court before being thrown out on the street
Due process is a core Democratic framing in housing and civil-rights contexts; requiring a court process before removal aligns with Democratic-backed tenant protections and procedural safeguards emphasized in many blue-state eviction reforms.

Strongly agree
No, this empowers abusive landlords to wrongfully evict legitimate tenants without proof
Democrats frequently argue strong tenant protections are needed to prevent landlord abuse and wrongful evictions; this concern was prominent in Democratic support for eviction moratoria/relief and right-to-counsel efforts in the late 2010s–2020s.

Strongly agree
No, police are not judges and should not resolve complex housing disputes on the sidewalk
Democrats often stress that police should not adjudicate complex civil disputes and prefer court-based resolution; this fits broader Democratic skepticism of expanding police roles, especially after 2014–2020 policing reform debates.

Agree
No
Democrats more often favor requiring court oversight for removals/evictions to prevent wrongful displacement; this aligns with due-process framing common in Democratic housing policy and post-2008/2020 tenant-protection pushes.

Disagree
Yes
National Democrats generally emphasize due process and tenant protections; party platforms and many Democratic-led states/cities have opposed summary removals without judicial process, especially after COVID-era eviction policy debates.

Disagree
Yes, squatting is criminal trespassing and should be treated as a crime, not a civil dispute
While Democrats support enforcing trespass laws, they typically resist treating all occupancy disputes as purely criminal and favor civil-court adjudication; criminalization-first framing is less aligned with Democratic criminal-justice reform priorities since the 2010s.

Disagree
Yes, homeowners should not have to wait months for a court order to reclaim their stolen property
The rhetoric of immediate removal to avoid waiting for court orders conflicts with Democrats’ emphasis on judicial process and safeguards against mistaken/abusive evictions, a theme in many Democratic state/local tenant-protection laws.

Strongly disagree
Yes, and we should abolish "adverse possession" laws that allow squatters to claim ownership
Abolishing adverse possession is not a mainstream Democratic priority; Democrats tend to focus on housing affordability and legal process rather than sweeping elimination of long-standing property doctrines rooted in state common law.
