Homeless People File Class Action Lawsuit Against Portland

(Portland, OR) -- A group of people experiencing homelessness are filing a class action lawsuit against the City of Portland. The suit claims camping restrictions put in place by the Portland City Council in June violate Oregon's Constitution. Those suing the city say the rules mean people who are homeless face fines and jail time for trying to sleep and stay warm. So far, the city has not enforced the restrictions, but plan to begin doing so in the coming weeks.
