The ACLU of Arizona says it is suing the city of Phoenix in order to block resumed sweeps of a huge homeless encampment downtown that they say has displaced people and destroyed identification documents, prescription medications and other belongings.
The ACLU says it filed the complaint late Wednesday in the U.S. District Court of Arizona in a move to halt the city's possible resumption in December of the sweeps that were paused at the beginning of 2022.
