New Orleans housing authority tries to clear protesters, residents from projects
Advertisements [?]
NEW ORLEANS The city's public housing agency plans to ask a judge to bar anyone from entering projects without permission and will file claims against some who are trying to avert the buildings' demolition ...

Yesterday, attorneys for the Housing Authority of New Orleans e-mailed notice of their plans to an attorney for tenants of a housing development. A handful of residents there joined hundreds of protesters for a Martin Luther King Day cleanup of the development.

The agency plans to file illegal entry and property damage claims and ask a judge to keep anyone from going into any of the city's housing projects without approval.

A lawyer for the tenants says the cleanup has continued since January 15th and did not believe a judge would stop people from cleaning their own apartments.
