I can't see this happening since neither you or your brother has been convicted of a crime associated with the property or are under investigation for same.
Please consult with your attorney on this matter. I still think having a third party with interest in the situation (a school within 100 yards) will result in more immediate and proper action. You are actually doing the community a favor.
Squatters may be your (future) liability for sure but they are also a liability to the community right now if they are openly breaking the law. Only real evidence is going to help and then get the advice you need.
Oh, on the theft, the contractors were just plain stupid whether the squatters were responsible or not. I know if it were my tools I'd be over there with major trouble for those asholes.

We have had our fair share of tools getting stolen over the years. Those fookers are so bold that they no longer care. My guy had his truck full of those stackable tool boxes in the back of his truck. he pulled over at a 7/11 for a cup of coffee on his way home. 2 guys, illegal looking, just climbed over his truck and lifted it over into another beat up truck while he's watching as he was paying for his coffee. He comes running out and they slowly got into their truck and drove away. If you hit them, then you go to jail. Worst, they might kick your ass. Call the cops, or its on 7/11's vid? so what, cops will not do a goddamnthing.
Last year, we were working in Hancock Park. Trucks were parked on the street in front of the house. These guys drove up, take a few pieces and drive off. I saw them from the upstairs window and started screaming. All I got was a middle finger from the thief as he drove off. Fook up deal
