A group of disabled residents in Portland, Oregon, filed a lawsuit against the city alleging that homeless encampments on sidewalks violate the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Attorney John DiLorenzo argues that the city's failure to clear tents makes navigation impossible for those with mobility impairments. This legal strategy aims to bypass previous Ninth Circuit rulings that protected the right of homeless individuals to camp on public property when shelter space is unavailable.
