TBS Today, June 26
A federal judge ruled this week in the city of Berkeley's favor, giving it permission to close a homeless encampment at Ohlone Park.
In his ruling Wednesday afternoon, Judge Haywood Gilliam Jr. denied a request by the Berkeley Homeless Union to block action at the camp as the case proceeds.
Gilliam wrote that the city had made many efforts to work with campers and said there was no established legal basis for most of the arguments the Homeless Union made.
