Daily News | Feds expected to respond today in a suit to open a supervised injection site in Philadelphia
A Philadelphia nonprofit embroiled in a years-long battle to open a space where people in addiction can use drugs under medical supervision and be revived if they overdose hopes the federal government will provide more clarity on Monday about whether it will allow a supervised injection site to open here.
In the meantime, two supervised injection sites have opened in New York City, and Rhode Island legislators voted in 2021 to legalize sites in that state.In February 2019, then-U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain, an appointee of Republican then-President Donald Trump, filed a lawsuit against Safehouse, aiming to prevent it from opening a site in Philadelphia.
But just days after his inauguration, an appeals court ruled that supervised injection sites do, in fact, violate federal law. Safehouse appealed to the Supreme Court, which declined to hear the case.
