The Trump administration issued an executive order framing homelessness as a crime, intending to remove unhoused individuals from public spaces. The order cites a rise in homelessness, linking it to drug addiction and mental health issues, and proposes shifting individuals into long-term institutional settings. This approach prioritizes public safety through forced commitment and enforcement of restrictions like prohibiting open drug use and urban camping.
