On Thursday morning, a judge denied a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the city of Minneapolis against a landlord who allowed dozens of people to camp on a parking lot he owns.
The city sued Hamoudi Sabri in September to force him to close the encampment. A few days later, the city cleared the encampment after a shooting there killed one person and injured six others.
Sabri’s lawyers argued the city could not move forward with the lawsuit without including the people who had been living in the encampment in the case.
MPR News reporter Cari Spencer was at the courthouse during the hearing and joined MPR News host Nina Moini to explain.
