LIVE: Trump Warns Homeless To Leave Washington, D.C., ‘immediately’ | Trump Administration | CNBC TV18
atch live as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro holds a press conference. Some of the 800 National Guard members deployed by President Donald Trump began arriving in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. The White House ordered federal forces to take over the city’s police department and reduce crime in what the president called — without substantiation — a lawless city.
National Guard troops are expected to be on the ground in Washington, D.C., today as part of President Donald Trump's plan to fight crime in the nation's capital.
US President Donald Trump has said homeless people must "move out" of Washington DC as he vowed to tackle crime in the city, but the mayor pushed back against the White House likening the American capital to Baghdad in Iraq.
The Republican president has also trailed a news conference for Monday about his plan to make the city "safer and more beautiful than it ever was before".
Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, said: "We are not experiencing a crime spike."
Trump signed an order last month making it easier to arrest homeless people, and he last week ordered federal law enforcement into the streets of Washington DC. "The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY," Trump wrote on his social media site Truth Social on Sunday. "We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong."
Alongside photos of tents and rubbish, he added: "There will be no 'MR. NICE GUY.' We want our Capital BACK. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
