Whose responsibility is it to protect unhoused when it's freezing outside? An Ohio pastor opened his church to the homeless and was charged by city.

I am really confused here. Look where Milwaukee is in relation to Ohio. (For non USians, it's under the second E in Milwaukee.)

It's 262 miles from Milwaukee to the Ohio state line by car.

Pastor is in Ohio.Hears reports of people dying in Milwaukee. Pastor offers shelter to people in Ohio. Pastor is charged.

Because he should've offered shelter to people in Milwaukee /s

The situation is abhorrent though, some Kafkaesque level of reality

The newspaper is the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. They're contextualizing it for local readers.

Didn't read your part for non USians so was searching on the left side of the chart. Still wanted to say thanks though for adding it :p
