You should report this to your Section 8 case manager.
You are subject to the city housing rules and regulations if you live in city housing. Whether you are in section 8 or not makes no difference. If the regulations prohibit allowing an evicted tenant to live in your unit, and you do, it doesn't matter whether they were wrongfully evicted or anything else. You let them in, you break the rules, you can be evicted too. So if you are breaking the rules, yes, you should be very concerned unless you are planning to find some place else to live very soon.
