Feds clearing out homeless encampments in DC

President Donald Trump isn’t just cleaning up crime in Washington, D.C., he’s been cracking down on homeless encampments as well.

According to a report by the New York Post, 75 homeless encampments have been removed, and nearly 80 “graffiti sites” have been cleansed.

“United States Park Police have removed dozens of tents since the president penned the ‘Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful’ executive order in March, the Department of the Interior told The Post Friday,” the outlet reported. “Authorities have also scrubbed up to 80 graffiti sites from Capitol Hill Parks as of Aug. 6, Interior officials said.”

Interior deputy press secretary Aubrie Spady gave a statement that revealed just how hard everyone has been working since Trump signed the order.

“President Trump signed the order to Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful in March, and our dedicated U.S. Park Police have been working around the clock since to enforce this directive, clean up our streets, and ensure our nation’s capital is safe,” she said.

“Interior leaders, led by Secretary Doug Burgum, are revising guidelines so there is a no-tolerance policy for illegal camping on National Park Service property in Washington, including no longer handing out warnings before vagrants are pushed off the public spaces,” The Post detailed.

Why didn’t DC do this without the executive order?

Nearly all U.S. Citizen homeless should either be housed in:

• Safe, clean, decent and free forever housing for homeless Veterans

• insane asylums

• TEMPORARY “get back on your feet” housing for hard times / domestic abuse escape

• Addiction recovery facilities

• Prison

I think what Democrats are scared shitless of is that D.C. ends up with no homeless junkies and almost no crime and people feel safe.

THEN – people in other cities start demanding the same. Without lawlessness and chaos there is no Democrat party.

The existence of one encampment is bad enough…but 75 in a relatively small metro area is insane.
Just like securing the border, Trump is proving that solving these issues isn’t ‘nuanced’ or complex…it’s a simple choice. Democrats deliberately choose to not solve these issues
