MINNEAPOLIS —A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed on behalf of homeless people against city-ordered closings of Minneapolis encampments for sanitary reasons and lawlessness. Judge Eric Tostrud said the closings, ordered by Mayor Jacob Frey, were neither “extreme nor outrageous.” The plaintiffs described their encampments as “community-based healing camps rooted in Native religious and cultural practices.” The plaintiffs said they lost valuable possessions in being forced out for the clean-ups.
