The Mutant Relocation Act of 2006 was a politically charged and highly inflammatory bill passed after newspapers sensationalized the rise of metahumans. Frequent meta clashes with the Friends of Humanity and the modern Purifier Movement resulted in public loss of life and destruction of property.
The Johnson-Kinsey Act mandated that all metahumans register with the Department of Extranormal Operations. Metahumans who registered quickly found themselves evicted by landlords or run out of their homes by hostile neighbors. Only metahumans who had a non-meta "sponsor" were allowed to remain in their current location.
Facing a surge of homeless metahumans, a rider was appended to Johnson-Kinsey that provided for subsidized housing for homeless metas. Bureaucratic infighting and lack of funding resulted in only three 'resettlements' being built, mostly in areas deemed condemned or classified as ghettos. Detroit, Harlem, and Los Angeles were forced to accommodate thousands of displaced metahumans almost overnight, creating a great deal of crime and social unrest. In Harlem, the East River Plaza was the epicenter of of this relocation. Halfhearted attempts to configure the shopping mall into housing resulted in significant overcrowding and violent crime.
In 2016, meta-hunting robots called Sentinels went on a monthlong rampage. Hundreds of metahumans and civilians died due to excessive use of lethal force. A covert Sentinel factory was destroyed and the Sentinel program permanently shuttered, taking much of the teeth from Johnson-Kinsey as registration became more difficult to enforce.
