Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that local governments can punish people for sleeping in public spaces, we have a deeper look at what could happen next in the Pacific Northwest.

Sara Rankin, Seattle University Law professor, on the Gee Scott & Ursula Reutin Show

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to give cities broader latitude to punish people for sleeping in public when they have no other options will likely result in municipalities taking more aggressive action to remove encampments, including throwing away more of homeless people’s property, advocates and legal experts said.

The court ruled that it is not cruel or unusual punishment to fine or jail homeless people for sleeping outside in public places. The ruling, while in theory only applying to cities under the 9th Circuit Court’s purview, sends a message across the country that elected officials have significant leeway in determining how and when to clear people living in public places, regardless of whether there is enough affordable housing or available shelter.

Professor Sara Rankin gave an extensive interview to the UK-based Guardian following the Supreme Court's homelessness decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson.

The Seattle Times took a deep dive into a new report, co-published by Seattle U Law's Civil Rights Clinic and the Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law and Equality, that concludes that Washington's Three Strikes Law disproportionately affects communities of color.

In April, U.S. Supreme Court justices heard arguments in one of the most widely watched cases out of Oregon in recent memory. The question at the heart of Grants Pass v. Johnson was whether cities can regulate where and when people can sleep outside, especially if there isn’t shelter space available.

“When you fine and ticket people, when you jail them for being homeless, not only do encampments appear again quite quickly, you compound the problems for people experiencing homelessness,” says Shaun Donovan

On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Grants Pass, Oregon’s criminalization of sleeping in public, a decision that’s sure to have ripple effects in Washington state.

On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that cities and municipalities can punish people for sleeping outside, even when they have nowhere else to go. In the case of The City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, the conservative majority sided in a 6-3 decision with Grants Pass, a small city in southern Oregon, finding that its broad public camping ban did not amount to cruel and unusual punishment.

Professor Sara Rankin discussed SCOTUS' homelessness ruling, Grants Pass v. Johnson, on KIRO Radio's Gee and Ursula Show.

Ahead of the Supreme Court's decision in monumental homelessness case Grants Pass v. Johnson, Professor Sara Rankin, director of the Homeless Rights Advocacy Project, spoke to KING 5 about the case, which decided whether cities without enough shelter beds for everyone in need can criminalize homelessness.
