A San Francisco judge granted a temporary restraining order Wednesday that forced the city of Santa Cruz to stop clearing a homeless encampment at San Lorenzo Park.
Magistrate Judge Susan Van Keulen issued the ruling after a group of homeless residents filed a lawsuit in federal court Wednesday morning.
The restraining order, which lasts until Jan. 6, demands that the city halt the closure of San Lorenzo Park and the nearby Benchlands encampments. Van Keulen will later decide whether to continue the restraining order as the lawsuit proceeds.
