Disgusting. Homelessness is on the rise and Republicans are making it harder for these people to find shelter, food, and pretty much anything else needed for survival. And now cities and states are being given permission to basically just move them out of sight so "good people" don't even have to see them and their suffering anymore. Problem solved! And these are the same people who continue to call themselves Christians.
Trump signs an executive order to make it easier to remove homeless people from streets
Fulfilling a campaign promise, President Trump has signed an executive orderthat seeks to overhaul the way the U.S. manages homelessness.
The order signed Thursday calls for changes to make it easier for states and cities to remove outdoor encampments and get people into mental health or addiction treatment. That includes involuntary civil commitment for those "who are a risk to themselves or others."
"Endemic vagrancy, disorderly behavior, sudden confrontations, and violent attacks have made our cities unsafe," the order states.
