Not really what they’re saying.

"Over the past two decades, DOJ's Civil Rights Division ("CRT") has relied on its integration mandate and Olmstead to pressure states into discharging individuals from mental-health institutions," the opinion says.

They’re saying that people are being released before they should be due to threats of lawsuits, essentially. That would explain why there are clearly many, many people with severe mental health issues out in the streets when they should be in a facility getting the treatment they need.
