@housepanther@goblackcat.social well it's not really the place for the Supreme Court to side for or against the individual. As a court off appeals its job in cases like this is to judge lower courts, not individuals like Cruz.
The question is, did the lower court err in its ruling? Did the lower court misapply the law or misread it?
In the end, though, no, Cruz was not punished for being homeless. That's simply not what the regulation applies to.
