Following a Supreme Court ruling, the 9th Circuit federal appeals court has lifted an injunction that had previously restricted San Francisco from sweeping homeless encampments. The court's decision permits the city to enforce laws prohibiting sitting, lying, or lodging on public property, provided officers follow the 'bag and tag' policy for personal property. This ruling marks a significant shift in San Francisco's approach to homelessness, enabling the city to resume clearing encampments and potentially citing or arresting individuals who refuse offered services. The decision is seen as a setback for the Coalition on Homelessness.
