#2,630 - Solid Blue Peoria criminalizes homeless camping on public grounds - ACLU flips out

The ACLU and a Chicago-based group have blasted the city of Peoria days after it enacted a ban on camping in public spaces. In an email, the Chicago Coalition to End Homelessness, the Peoria Chapter of the ACLU of Illinois, and the ACLU of Illinois ripped on the Peoria City Council, which voted 6-5 to implement the ban to regulate and curb homeless encampments.
