Squatters have taken over a dead University of California, Berkeley, professor’s home, and the state is making it impossible for his family to kick them out. Thanks to the Golden State’s policy of legalized property theft, Przemyslaw Jeziorski’s family is fighting a losing battle in the courts.

Jeziorski, who was murdered last year, used to rent out his property as an Airbnb. Since the squatters have seized it, they’ve allegedly sold off his personal belongings and caused thousands of dollars in property damage. Jeziorski’s two children, now orphaned, are supposed to inherit the property.
