PORTLAND, Ore. — The small Oregon city at the heart of a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year that allowed cities across the country to enforce homeless camping bans is facing a fresh lawsuit over its camping rules, as advocates find new ways to challenge them in a legal landscape shifted by the high court's decision.

The City Council ordered one of the only two sites for legal camping closed in the middle of January, in the middle of bitterly cold weather, without any regard for where people would live,” the suit says.

Last week, a new Grants Pass city council closed the larger of two city-owned properties that had been designated as sanctioned campsites for homeless people.
