President Donald Trump has ordered D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to clear out homeless encampments in the city as part of a plan to improve conditions in the District. The directive specifically targets camps near the State Department and the White House, with Trump warning that if Bowser does not take action, the administration will intervene. Earlier this year, Trump had considered an executive order focused on beautification issues, including clearing homeless camps, but after discussions with Mayor Bowser, the administration has paused that order.
The city already has a partnership with the National Park Service to address homeless encampments on federal property and has conducted several cleanups in the last two years. Seven more cleanups are scheduled for this month. In a social media post, Trump emphasized the need for Washington, D.C. to be clean and safe, expressing a desire for the capital to be a source of pride for the country.
The order from President Trump comes amidst ongoing efforts to address homelessness and public safety in the nation’s capital. Mayor Bowser has been commended for her efforts, and it is hoped that collaboration between the city and federal government will lead to positive outcomes for the community. The situation continues to evolve as discussions and actions are taken to address the issue of homelessness in Washington, D.C.
