The ordinance, which allows the city to fine those who help the homeless and makes it illegal for homeless people to camp on public property, was approved in a 6-1 vote after more than two hours of public comments.

The action by the city of Fremont, California, comes after a Supreme Court ruling in June that emboldened communities across the country to limit protections for people without homes. The court’s decision in Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson lets cities ban homeless residents from sleeping outside, even when a community lacks indoor shelter beds.
