President Trump plans to use National Guard to move D.C. homeless into shelters or face jail.

President Trump's plan to address homelessness in Washington D.C. involves deploying National Guard troops and forcing those in encampments into shelters or facing fines and jail time. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that homeless individuals refusing the offered services will face legal consequences. Critics argue this approach won't solve homelessness and could lead to incarceration and displacement, especially given the limited shelter beds and treatment facilities available for those with addiction and mental health issues.
