A federal civil rights lawsuit was filed Monday accusing the city of Los Angeles of endangering homeless people. The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, alleges that the city has endangered the homeless by seizing and destroying their tents and bedding then releasing them into the cold without protection after wrongfully arresting the homeless population.
The lawsuit was filed by Carol Sobel, the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles and several private law firms.
