Trump to sign executive order forcing homeless off America’s streets

WASHINGTON — President Trump will sign an executive order Thursday calling on states and cities to “remove vagrant individuals” from the streets — and rehouse homeless people, drug addicts, and those suffering from mental problems in “treatment centers.”

The order redirects federal funding to finance “treatment centers, outpatient treatment and other facilities,” per a readout of the order viewed by The Post.

States and municipalities that already crackdown on open illicit drug use and urban camping, loitering or squatting, and tracking sex offenders, will be prioritized for grants.      

“President Trump is delivering on his commitment to Make America Safe Again and end homelessness across America,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

“By removing vagrant criminals from our streets and redirecting resources toward substance abuse programs, the Trump Administration will ensure that Americans feel safe in their own communities and that individuals suffering from addiction or mental health struggles are able to get the help they need.”
