   Cleanups can continue in Phoenix's largest homeless encampment, called   
   "The Zone," a federal judge ruled Friday.   
      
   After a city block was cleared of people on May 10, the American Civil   
   Liberties Union of Arizona asked U.S. District Court Judge G. Murray Snow   
   to find Phoenix in contempt of court. As a result, Snow ordered the city   
   to pause the planned block-by-block cleanup of The Zone.   
      
   The ACLU sued the city in November over its treatment of people   
   experiencing homelessness. The organization claimed that during the May 10   
   cleanup, the city violated an order Snow issued in December about how   
   people experiencing homelessness and their possessions should be treated.   
      
   But at a hearing on Friday, Snow said that based on the current evidence,   
   the cleanups can continue.   
      
   Phoenix planned to clear one block of The Zone encampment roughly every   
   two weeks, starting with the May 10 cleanup. The second cleanup was   
   initially scheduled for May 24 but is now rescheduled for May 31, city   
   spokesperson Kristin Couturier said.   
      
   The ACLU claimed that during the May 10 cleanup, Phoenix seized and   
   destroyed people’s property, coerced people into “limited and possibly   
   unavailable” shelter spaces and threatened to cite or arrest people on the   
   block before finding them shelter that fit their individual needs.   
      
   The city fiercely refuted those allegations, calling the ACLU’s recounting   
   of the cleanup “not accurate.” It countered that 47 of the 60 people the   
   city engaged with were voluntarily moved into shelter, that no one’s   
   property was destroyed without their permission and that the city is   
   storing five people’s belongings at their request, Couturier said.   
      
   The city began clearing out The Zone under a block-by-block plan after a   
   court order in a separate lawsuit in state court, Brown v. City of   
   Phoenix, required it to shut down the encampment. The plaintiffs in that   
   lawsuit are nearby business and property owners who allege the encampment   
   is a public nuisance that has subjected them to violence and damaged their   
   properties.   
      
   The city must be able to demonstrate that it's made significant progress   
   on clearing out the encampment by July 10, when a trial in that lawsuit is   
   scheduled.   
      
   On Thursday, Judge Snow allowed the plaintiffs in Brown v. City of Phoenix   
   to intervene in the ACLU's lawsuit, despite resistance from the ACLU's   
   plaintiffs, court records show.   
      
   Steve Tully, who represents the plaintiffs in Brown v. City of Phoenix,   
   said his clients have no dispute with the result of Friday's hearing as   
   long as the cleanups continue.

   Why is Federal Court dictating to a city about a city problem?   
      
   Because of the fucking cunt Democrats that got elected.
