A Dark Star Trek: The Deep Space Nine Episode Predicted A Real Life Event
By WITNEY SEIBOLD
"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" episode "Past Tense" had the main characters go back in time to the year 2024 when everything seemed to be at its worst.
In “DS9’s” 2024, the unemployed and unhoused people in major cities were rounded up and imprisoned in ghettos called "Sanctuary Districts.”
In real life, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order in 2024 to sweep the state of unhoused encampments, opening the door for “Sanctuary Districts.”
On July 25, 2024, Gavin Newsom signed an order stemming from a Supreme Court Decision that allowed states to ban public sleeping at their own discretion.
