Trump demands that the homeless leave “immediately” from Washington DC

US President Donald Trump said the homeless should “move” from Washington DC while he was performing to fight crime in the city, while the mayor pushed the White House comparing the capital to Baghdad.

“We will give you places to stay, but far from the capital,” he published on Sunday. The Republican President also followed a press conference for Monday on his plan to make the city “safer and more beautiful than it has ever been”.

Mayor Muriel Bowser, Democrat, said: “We do not know a crime peak.”

Trump signed an order last month, which facilitates the homeless, and he ordered federal police last week in the streets of Washington DC.

“The homeless must move, immediately,” wrote Trump on his social social media site on Sunday.

“We will give you places to stay, but far from the capital. Criminals, you don’t have to move. We are going to put yourself in prison where you belong.”

In addition to photos of tents and waste, he added: “There will be no” Mr. Nice Guy “. We want our capital to come back.

The details of the president’s plan are not yet clear, but in a speech in 2022, he proposed to move homeless to “high-quality” tents on inexpensive land outside cities, while giving access to bathrooms and health professionals.

On Friday, Trump ordered federal agents – in particular the American Park police, the Drug Enfurcement Administration, the FBI and US Marshals Service – in Washington DC to slow down what he called “totally uncontrollable” crime levels.

A White House official told national public radio that up to 450 federal officers had been deployed on Saturday evening.

This decision comes after a former 19 -year -old employee of the Government Ministry (DOGE) was attacked in an attempted diversion of alleged embezzlement in Washington DC.

Trump evacuated this incident on social networks, publishing a photo of the bloody victim.

Mayor Bowser told MSNBC on Sunday: “It is true that we had a terrible crime peak in 2023, but it is not 2023.

“We have spent in the past two years conducting violent crimes in this city, dropping it to a hollow of 30 years.”

She criticized Stephen Miller Deputy White House, Stephen Miller, for having doubled the American capital “more violent than Baghdad”.

“Any comparison with a country torn apart by war is hyperbolic and false,” said Bowser.

The Washington DC homicide rate remains relatively high per capita compared to other American cities, with a total of 98 type murders recorded so far this year. Homicides tend to be higher in the American capital a decade ago.

But the federal data in January suggest that Washington DC recorded its lowest violent crime figures – once the hijacking, the assault and the flights are incorporated – in 30 years.

Trump announced on Saturday on Trump on Truth Social to organize a press conference at the White House on Monday, “which, essentially, will stop violent crimes in Washington, DC”.

In another article on Sunday, he said that the event at 10:00 am Hae (2:00 pm GMT) would be addressed at the end of “crime, murder and dead” in the city, as well as his “physical renovation”.

He described Bowser as “a good person who tried”, adding that despite his efforts, the crime continues to become “worse” and that the city becomes “dirtier and less attractive”.

Community Partnership, an organization that strives to reduce homelessness to Washington DC, told the news agency in Reuters that the city of 700,000 residents had around 3,782 people homeless one night.

Most were in public housing or emergency shelters, but about 800 were considered “in the street”.

As a district, rather than by a state, Washington DC is supervised by the federal government, which has the power to prevail over certain local laws.

The president controls the land and federal buildings of the city, although he would need the congress to assume federal control of the district.

In recent days, he has threatened to resume the Washington DC metropolitan police service, which Bowser has argued was not possible.

“There are very specific things in our law which would allow the president to have more control over our police service,” said Bowser. “None of these conditions exist in our city right now.”
