The Trump Administration claims to have swept and closed 70 DC homeless encampments. There are two left. They posted at them to warn them to get out. They gave them a choice, go to a shelter or we will place you in an addiction and mental health facility or jail.

They’ve criminalized poverty.

  1. If this claim is true, where are the videos of them being cleared out? I don’t believe this BS claim, the regime isn’t that disciplined, efficient or competent

  2. How would this even work? Hospitals or SUD treatment facilities have medical criteria for admission, and ethically we cannot section someone uri treatment who is not appropriate for that level of care

  3. Stinky trump should be given an ultimatum that he must vacate the white house or he will placed in a mental institution or prison. No consideration for his illiteracy.

  4. But think of all the savings for tax payers!! ..cause I'm sure it's free or super cheap to house them in such facilities, right?

    Right-wing ALWAYS finds $$ to harass people but no $ to help them. $$ for cruelty, but no $ for care. $$ to fund private profit prisons, no $ for public programs.

  5. SCOTUS had already ruled last year that being homeless can be criminalized. Of course this regime wants to enforce this with cruel and extreme measures.

    The decision is a win for Western cities that wanted more powers to manage record homelessness. But advocates for the unhoused say the decision will do nothing to solve the larger problem

    The Supreme Court says cities can punish people for sleeping in public places
