The Supreme Court ruled Friday for a city trying to enforce a law preventing homeless encampments on public property.

Law enforcement officers stand behind barricades outside the Supreme Court on Thursday, June 27, 2024, in Washington.

“Different governments may use these laws in different ways and to varying degrees,” wrote Justice Neil M. Gorsuch for the majority. “But many broadly agree that ‘policymakers need access to the full panoply of tools in the policy toolbox’ to ‘tackle the complicated issues of housing and homelessness.’”

“Sleep is a biological necessity, not a crime. For some people, sleeping outside is their only option,” wrote Justice Sotomayor. “Punishing people for their status is ’cruel and unusual’ under the Eighth Amendment.”
