Rep. Kahn voices her concern about the violation of civil rights of citizens and included the following:
Nearly two dozen cities have passed resolutions urging federal authorities to respect the rights of local citizens.
The city of Mpls. has had ordinances for at least the past twenty years that violates the rights of people based on their economic statues and , more specifically, homeless people.
These ordinances ban camping, sleeping in cars. They have been ruled unconstitutional in other cities.
I have contacted the city council and asked them the process to put forth a motion to have these ordinances revoked. After weeks of waiting, I still have not heard back.
