Plaintiffs Sue Maui County and Mayor for “Houseless Sweeps” at ‘Āmala Place
A lawsuit has been filed against the mayor and County of Maui arguing that the seizure of houseless peoples’ shelters and belongings at ‘Āmala Place near Kanahā Beach Park without first providing a hearing “violated their constitutional rights.”
