Robinsons Evicted

A restraining order forces Robinson and Will Robinson to leave the property, limits them to clothing and essentials, and bars them from coming within 100 yards of Sandoval until July 16 hearing.
Sandoval still pays rent and utilities while Robinson and Will stay on the lease with nominal assistance.
Sandoval helped pay bail posted by Robinson’s mother after the June 3 incident, now regrets it and says he cannot retrieve medication or belongings.

History

Historical Context

Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act in 1994, attaching $1.6 billion of DOJ funds to the Crime Bill that Senator Joe Biden helped draft. The law created federal restraining-order provisions and funded shelters nationwide, though the Supreme Court struck parts down in United States v. Morrison (2000). Tom Sandoval’s 2026 restraining order relies on those federal protections.
