US EditionTrump Moves to Evict Homeless from DC, Threatens Federal Control to Curb Crime
WASHINGTON D.C., AUG 11 – President Trump directed federal agencies to evict homeless individuals immediately and deploy 450 officers to combat crime, despite data showing a 26% drop in violent incidents, officials said.
- President Trump announced a seven-day security lockdown in Washington, D.C., with a Monday press conference at the White House to address violent crime.
- The lockdown follows an attempted carjacking assault on a high-profile government official and builds on Trump's prior executive order for a crime task force.
- The D.C. Council passed emergency legislation this summer imposing temporary juvenile curfews that prohibit gatherings of nine or more under-18s after 8 p.m. in designated zones.
- Trump warned that unless Washington, D.C. swiftly improves its management, the federal government may be forced to assume control of the city amid persistently high crime rates despite recent declines.
- A full federal takeover would require repealing the Home Rule Act of 1973, and while law enforcement will increase, the push may extend beyond seven days if needed.
