Judge Bans San Francisco from Clearing Most Homeless Camps - Lawsuit Moves Ahead

A judge has temporarily banned San Francisco police from clearing most homeless encampments, citing people for sleeping in public, or enforcing several other laws aimed at homeless people while a federal lawsuit against the city moves forward.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Donna Ryu on Friday night granted an emergency order that prohibits the city from removing tents and confiscating the belongings of encampment dwellers.

She pointed to evidence presented by the group of unhoused people and their advocates who asked for the injunction that San Francisco regularly violated its own policies when clearing encampments. The group cited many instances where authorities cleared people from encampments without offering adequate access to shelter, which is illegal. She also pointed to evidence of city officials improperly throwing away or seizing homeless people’s belongings, including tents, cell phones, medication, identification and prosthetic limbs.
