A senior citizen at the center of a contentious Brooklyn property dispute that sparked a massive protest and multiple arrests has been sent back to her home state of Georgia. The move comes after weeks of high-profile demonstrations outside her home, where she has refused to vacate the premises. The dispute centers around a rent-controlled apartment that the woman, who is in her 70s, has occupied for decades, but the property's new owners claim she is not a legitimate tenant. The situation has drawn attention from local politicians and community leaders, who have taken sides on the issue, adding to the tensions.
