Mobile officials say a Mississippi city is dumping homeless people; Biloxi denies misdeeds
SUMMARY: Mobile, Alabama officials claim that Biloxi, Mississippi police are transporting homeless individuals, sometimes under coercion, to their city. Biloxi’s mayor, Andrew Gilich, denies these accusations, stating that Biloxi is working with Mobile’s homeless shelters and no one has been taken against their will. A letter from James Barber, chief of staff to Mobile’s mayor, accuses Biloxi police of violating homeless individuals’ civil rights and demands that this practice stop, even threatening to involve federal officials. Barber also alleges a consistent pattern of these actions by Biloxi police, based on interviews with those transported.
