Trump Steps Up to End the Crime, Homeless Takeover

President Donald Trump took steps on Thursday to finish the large takeover of crime and homelessness on the streets after Democrat leaders in Blue states have failed to do something to make our streets safer.

During a signing at the White House, President Trump signed the “ENDING CRIME AND DISORDER ON AMERICA’S STREETS” Executive Order, which goals to restore “public order” to cities and take away homeless people from the streets by imposing no city tenting, city squatting, and loitering, among others.

“The number of individuals living on the streets in the United States on a single night during the last year of the previous administration — 274,224 — was the highest ever recorded,” the White House release learn. “The overwhelming majority of these individuals are addicted to drugs, have a mental health condition, or both.”

Outstanding information from the White House.

“Nearly two-thirds of homeless individuals report having regularly used hard drugs like methamphetamines, cocaine, or opioids in their lifetimes.  An equally large share of homeless individuals reported suffering from mental health conditions,” it added. “The Federal Government and the States have spent tens of billions of dollars on failed programs that address homelessness but not its root causes, leaving other citizens vulnerable to public safety threats.”

“Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore public order,” it continued. “Surrendering our cities and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to the homeless nor other citizens.  My Administration will take a new approach focused on protecting public safety.”

One half of the EO basically mentioned it ends the “housing first” insurance policies of quite a few blue states led by failed Democratic management in locations like California, New York, Oregon, Washington, and so forth. that “deprioritize accountability” and fails to “promote treatment, recovery, and self-sufficiency; increasing competition among grantees through broadening the applicant pool; and holding grantees to higher standards of effectiveness in reducing homelessness and increasing public safety.”

The Daily Caller’s Reagan Reese summed up the prolonged order below:

NEWS: Trump is predicted to signal an government order later at the moment aimed at restoring “order to American cities” and eradicating “vagrant individuals from our streets,” a WH official shares with @DailyCaller.

— the Attorney General shall be ordered to “reverse judicial precedents and end consent decrees that limit State and local governments’ ability to commit individuals on the streets who are a risk to themselves or others.”

— The AG will work with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and the Secretary of Transportation to “prioritize grants for states and municipalities that enforce prohibitions on open illicit drug use, urban camping and loitering, and urban squatting, and track the location of sex offenders.”

— Funding shall be redirected “to ensure that individuals camping on streets and causing public disorder and that are suffering from serious mental illness or addiction are moved into treatment centers, assisted outpatient treatment, or other facilities.”

— The order stops intercourse offenders who obtain homelessness help from being housed with kids. 

— The order makes sure discretionary grants for substance use disorder prevention, therapy, and restoration aren’t funding drug injection websites or illicit drug use.

My CrimsonState colleague Jennifer Van Laar not too long ago wrote about Democrat CA Governor Gavin, who has destroyed the once Golden State, permitting crime to run rampant and the homeless to take over components of the state’s great cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Newsom, who famously proclaimed in 2008 as Mayor of San Francisco that he had a 10-year plan to finish homelessness in the metropolis, now presides over the state where half of the nation’s homeless dwell. He’s repeatedly mentioned that “fixing” homelessness is his primary aim, yet the downside is rising by every metric: quantity of people on the streets, deaths of homeless people, violent crimes dedicated by the homeless, fires began by the homeless, et cetera, et cetera. And, the state cannot account for $24 billion in homeless funding.
