Trump: Bring Back Insane Asylums, House Mentally Ill

Federal crackdown in Washington D.C. has led to 1,369 arrests and clearing of 50 homeless encampments; reopening mental health facilities is proposed to manage severe psychiatric cases.

  • President Donald Trump called for reopening long-term psychiatric institutions and immediate removal of homeless encampments in a recent interview and statement.
  • He attributed the closure of such facilities to reforms, expense, and Democrat-led states releasing mentally ill individuals into society due to funding shortages.
  • Trump supported expanding law enforcement actions, including federalizing D.C. police and deploying National Guard troops, resulting in over 1,300 arrests and clearing homeless camps.
  • He expressed concerns about the danger posed by mentally ill individuals living freely in society and acknowledged that institutionalizing them would incur very high costs.
  • Trump pledged to use all authority to remove homeless individuals and reintegrate mentally ill patients once stabilized, while continuing his anti-crime crackdown nationwide.
