A judge in Louisiana has issued a temporary restraining order to halt state officials' attempts to clear homeless encampments in New Orleans. This move came as preparations were underway for three Taylor Swift concerts scheduled in the city over the weekend.
The effort to relocate approximately 75 individuals living in tents under an overpass near the Superdome was put on hold by Judge Lori Jupiter's ruling. The order prohibits state law enforcement from disposing of the property of unhoused individuals without due judicial process and mandates informing those in the camp that they are free to leave.
