Emergency measure by Minneapolis council intended to speed up tent camp relocation

With cold weather setting in, the Minneapolis City Council on Friday passed an emergency measure that's intended to speed up the relocation of the people living at the Hiawatha homeless encampment.

"We have human beings living in flimsy tents," said Council Member Abdi Warsame, who brought the motion. "It's a public health hazard. There have already been deaths."
