75 homeless people relocated from New Orleans overpass for Taylor Swift concerts, amid criticism by advocates.

State officials claim the move addresses safety and homelessness concerns, linking it to the events and the upcoming Super Bowl. However, advocates criticize the action for disrupting efforts toward long-term housing solutions for the displaced.
