    SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – The City of Santa Fe says it stands firmly against the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing law enforcement to arrest homeless people for sleeping in public places. Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber says the SCOTUS decision from two weeks ago not only fails to address the root causes of homelessness but “perpetuates a cycle of instability and marginalization for some of our most vulnerable citizens.”

    Mayor Webber says the primary reason people are without homes is the lack of affordable housing. He says Santa Fe will remain a strong advocate for the rights of unhoused people.
