resident Trump has ordered White House officials to launch a sweeping effort to address homelessness in California, citing the states growing crisis, according to four government officials aware of the effort.
The planning has intensified in recent weeks. Administration officials have discussed using the federal government to get homeless people off the streets of Los Angeles and other cities and into new government-backed facilities, according to two officials briefed on the planning.
But it is unclear how they could accomplish this and what legal authority they would use. It is also unclear whether the states Democratic politicians would cooperate with Trump, who has sought to embarrass them over the homelessness crisis with repeated attacks on their competency.
Trumps directive is part of his broader effort in recent months to shine a light on problems in California and a number of major U.S. cities, including Baltimore and Chicago. He has complained about what he says are years of failed Democratic leadership that have led to sustained poverty and crime.

Whats he going to do with them? Move them somewhere else? What ne should do is sue them and demand that they deal with it.
Well.its good to try to do something.
It stuns me, that the liberals believe people have a constitutional right to urinate and defecate everywhere, do drugs anywhere, pitch tents anywhere, and that somehow just tolerating such situations proves that we are liberal.
No. This is bad. Why should the rest of America be on the hook for billions of dollars to clean up a socialistic shithole?
The only measures Trump might consider taking here should be punative. Withold all federal fundings unless and until Commie-fornia cleans up their mess.
I disagree (stay with me). What he is trying to do is get the states to REFUSE to allow the FEDS to fix the problem. This means they will have to admit it IS the state's problem. THEN... Trump can appeal to the public to DEMAND the STATES fix their own PROBLEM.
They’ll send a chauffeured limousine to pick them up come election day.
I think this is good too. It is hard to imagine that Democrat leaders would do anything but assist in every way possible, but of course they will obstruct Pres. Trump, and find a way to convince the homeless that their homelessness is Pres. Trump’s fault. It is disgusting.
How much government money has already been given to California? I would make them account for it.
“What he is trying to do is get the states to REFUSE to allow the FEDS to fix the problem.”
Interesting observation. Hadn’t thought of that.
Not a federal function.
it’s gonna be hard. Dems in CA are hard core and fearless.
California is a limb with gangrene.
This smells like Very Fake News.
Declare martial law.
this is great news.
Thank you Mr. Trump!
Put them on Californias train to no where?
“Whats he going to do with them? Move them somewhere else? What ne should do is sue them and demand that they deal with it.”
Use federal land in California, put them to work cleaning up national parks and other federal areas. Build housing for them so they can be close to their jobs.
...I think this is good. Trump is tryng to fix the mess the Dems created...
This is why we hired him.
“Whats he going to do with them? Move them somewhere else?”
I suggest West Hollywood where the fags and most residents hate Trump.
