In Johnson v Grants Pass, the Supreme Court ruled that cities may fine or arrest people that are sleeping outside. This led to a number of places, such as nearby Duluth, banning public camping with criminal penalties. Minneapolis already bans public camping but does not have any such penalties.
I work in the field and will resolve this based on 1) city council passing further restrictions on public camping that include penalties, 2) the mayor or city reading the current law to include penalties and publicly announcing as such, OR 3) there are 5 or more reports of arrests or tickets to people specifically for public camping or sleeping outside (a trespass wouldn’t count) discussed at the Project Build meetings (a monthly meeting of camp residents and service providers that monitors encampments and evictions)
I will not bet on this market.

"In Minnesota’s largest city, public camping is illegal — but it doesn’t come with criminal consequences. Enrique Velázquez, Minneapolis director of regulatory services who oversees the city’s response to homeless encampments, says that is not likely to change.
“To my knowledge, we’ve never issued a criminal penalty or citation to individuals who are experiencing homelessness, just for the sake of being homeless. I don’t envision that we will,” he said."
