 The High Court also ruling that cities can enforce bans on homeless people camping outside. The case involved the city of Grants Pass, Oregon, that fined people $295 for sleeping outside. This overturns a decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2018 that decided the bans violate the Eighth Amendment. There wasn't enough shelter space in today's 6-3 decision. The court reversed the decision that outdoor sleeping bans were cruel and unusual punishments.
