Trump demands homeless people ‘immediately’ move out of Washington DC
US President Donald Trump said that homeless people should “move” from Washington DC while promising to fight the crime in the city, but the mayor pushed back to the White House by comparing them to the capital Baghdad.
“We will give you places to stay, but away from the capital.” On Monday, the Republican President held a press conference on the plan “safer and more beautiful than ever”.
Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser, “We do not experience a crime.” He said.
Trump signed an order that facilitated the arrest of homeless people last month and ordered Federal law enforcement officers to the streets of Washington DC last week.
“The homeless has to move immediately,” Trump wrote on Sunday’s social media site Truth Social.
“We will give you places to stay, but away from the capital. Criminals, you do not have to move. We will imprison you where you belong.”
In addition to tents and garbage photographs, he added: “Mr good man will not be. Thank you for paying attention to our capital!”
The characteristics of the president’s plan are not yet clear, but in his 2022 speech, he proposed to carry homeless people to “high -quality” tents on cheap lands other than cities and access to bathrooms and medical experts.
On Friday, Trump ordered the Washington DC, where federal agents, including the US park police, Drug Application Administration, FBI and the US Marshals Service, called “not completely out of control”.
White House official He told the National Public Radio Federal officer was deployed until 450 on Saturday night.
The movement comes after a former 19 -year -old Ministry of Government Productivity (Doge) attempted to Karjacking at Washington DC.
Trump ventilated this event on social media and published a photo of the bloody victim.
Mayor Bowser told Msnbc on Sunday: “It is true that we have a terrible increase in crime in 2023, but this is not 2023.
He continued: “In the last two years, we have reduced the crimes of violence in this city to the lowest level of 30 years.”
Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of General Staff of the White House, criticized the US capital for calling “more violent than Baghdad”.
“Any comparison with a country in which war breaks down is hyperbolic and wrong.” He said.
The murder rate of the Washington DC continues to be relatively high per capita compared to other US cities, and this year, a total of 98 murders have been recorded. Ten years ago, the murders in the US capital were higher.
However, federal data from January Last year, the Washington DC recorded the lowest general violence crime figures – once after driving, the attacks and robberies have been included in – 30 years.
Trump said he would have a news conference at the White House on Monday to summarize the plans to stop the violence in the US capital.
In another article on Sunday, 10:00 EDT (14:00 GMT) said that the event would deal with “crime, murder and death” and “physical renewal” in the city.
Despite his efforts, the crime continued to “worse” despite his efforts, and the city was “more dirty and less attractive” despite his efforts.
The Community Partnership, an organization that works to reduce homelessness in Washington DC, said the Reuters news agency, which consists of 700,000 people, had approximately 3,782 people any night.
Most of them were in housing or emergency shelters, but about 800 were accepted as “on the street”.
Washington DC as a region rather than a state is controlled by the federal government, which has the power to invalidate some local laws.
Although the President needs a congress to undertake the federal control of the district, he controls federal lands and buildings in the city.
Recently, the Washington DC, which Bowser claimed was not possible, threatened to take over the metropolitan police department.
“In our law, there are very special things to ensure that the President has more control on our police department.” He said. “Currently, none of these conditions in our city.”
