Judge halts La. governor's clearing of homeless camps before Taylor Swift concerts

Oct. 26 (UPI) -- A New Orleans judge has issued a restraining order barring methods used by Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry to clear homeless camps located near the site of this weekend's trio of sold-out Taylor Swift concerts.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry earlier this week ordered state police and the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to clear homeless encampments the near the Superdome in what his office called a safety precaution ahead of the Swift concerts as well as February's Super Bowl LIX in the city.
