Trump’s New Executive Order To Target Homeless People
President Donald Trump is gearing up to target the homeless by signing a controversial executive order called “Ending Vagrancy and Restoring Order”—a move aimed at clearing homeless individuals from public streets and encampments. According to a White House briefing, the plan will push cities and states to enforce stricter rules against urban camping, loitering, drug use, and squatting, while offering federal funding incentives for jurisdictions that comply.
The executive order pushes local authorities to enforce anti-vagrancy laws, ensuring public spaces are free of makeshift camps. Federal grants will be prioritized for cities and states that take aggressive action.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has been directed to challenge and overturn existing court precedents and consent decrees that restrict law enforcement from removing homeless individuals from public property.
The administration plans to funnel federal funds into treatment centers and rehabilitation programs. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the order aligns with Trump’s mission to “Make America Safe Again,” suggesting that cleaning up the streets is tied directly to improving community safety and quality of life.
This is a developing story.
