One day after warning people experiencing homelessness to “move out” of Washington, D.C. “immediately,” Donald Trump said the federal government will begin forcibly “removing” encampments that have turned the city “into a wasteland.”
The city’s Metropolitan Police Department, now under the Trump administration’s control for at least 30 days, is giving the city’s unhoused population the “option” to either enter a shelter or substance abuse and mental health treatment — or go to jail, according to the White House.
