Hearing to enjoin Englewood, CO SORR to be heard today

Today, at 2PM, the Federal Court in Colorado will hear oral arguments and plaintiff testimony in a motion for preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order preventing the city of Englewood, Colorado from enforcing it’s sex offender residency restriction (SORR).

The request for emergency hearing was filed last week on behalf of four registered citizens who were given 30 days to leave the city or face arrest because there was no available housing (for them) to be had.

The four plaintiffs, who are all on probation or parole, are required by supervision to register with the Englewood Police Department, but the department is not letting them register. They face arrest for violating the terms of their probation or they face arrest for remaining in the city.
