Can the city be held liable for city police forcing tenent from apartment at landlords direction, when no prior notice was given?

The landlord showed up unannounced at the apartment unit, with city police officers, facility security personnel and instructed the tenant she had to leave the unit. Officers afforded her ten minutes to gather what items she could and leave. Landlord demanded the keys to the apartment, and with the show of force, she felt compelled to comply. This occurred when the spouse of the tenant was out of state on a job, an the tenant's only choice from there was to go to a women's shelter.
