King County Sheriff’s Office said their current policy on enforcing the camping ban in Burien will not change despite a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

The Supreme Court overturned a ruling from a California-based appeals court which cleared the way for cities to enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside in public places.

The city of Burien and the KCSO have been in a fight over the controversial ordinance to ban homeless encampments in certain areas of the city. The fight has included lawsuits against both parties.
