The Dobbs Wire: A win in the 11th Circuit today!

A win in the 11th Circuit today!  Miami-Dade is infamous for encampments of homeless registrants, permanent housing very scarce because of residency restrictions.  Despite national media attention to bad laws that had people living under the Julia Tuttle Causeway–courts haven’t been much help.  Now there’s an interesting development.  A lawsuit in federal court challenging those residency restrictions had been dismissed.  However, today a federal appeals court *reversed* that dismissal and sent it back to the original court for further proceedings.  Congrats to John Doe #1, John Doe #2, John Doe #3 and Florida Action Committee.  In addition to the ACLU’s Florida affiliate, this lawsuit is getting help from the ACLU’s national criminal justice project based in NYC.  –Bill Dobbs

    Hi FAC:

    I saw this post on ACSOL’s website. This decision is a very big deal in my opinion. Coupled with the 6th Circuit’s recent decision, it shows that our high courts are beginning to give justice to those unfairly labeled “sex offender.” Keep up the good work.
