The case, Tyler v. Hennepin County, centers around allegations of &#8220;home equity theft&#8221; by the local government in Minnesota. The plaintiff, a 94-year-old woman named Geraldine Tyler, had her home seized by the county for unpaid taxes and was never given the excess proceeds from the sale of her property. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When the government takes more than it is owed in taxes, that\u2019s home equity theft,&#8221; said Pacific Legal Foundation senior attorney Christina Martin, who will be arguing the case on behalf of Tyler. <\/p>\n<p>Tyler&#8217;s case is not unique, according to David Deerson, another attorney working on the case. He likens the problem to a &#8220;get rich quick&#8221; scheme for the government. The core issue in the dispute is whether the government violates the Fifth Amendment&#8217;s takings clause when it takes property worth more than the debt owed by the owner and whether that amounts to an excessive fine. <\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has filed a brief in support of neither party in the case, but contends that the federal government has a &#8220;substantial interest&#8221; in the outcome. A decision is expected by the end of the court&#8217;s present term in late June. <\/p>\n<p>This case has garnered support from outside groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and the Cato Institute, who argue that lower-income and elderly citizens are more often at risk of forfeiting their homes. Stay tuned for updates on this important case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court will hear a case Wednesday concerning a 94-year-old Minnesota woman whose home was seized by the state for unpaid taxes and never saw the excess proceeds from the home&#8217;s eventual sale.The case , Tyler v.
