PORTLAND, Ore. — A new class action lawsuit has been filed
in Multnomah County court on behalf of people experiencing homelessness.
The lawsuit, filed by attorneys at the Oregon Law Center, says
the camping ban, passed by Portland City Council earlier this
year, is illegal.
The camping ban, which hasn’t been enforced yet, would
restrict camping in public places between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
The plaintiffs in the case argue it unfairly targets homeless
people.
