If Trump thinks he’s fishing for California votes in 2020, he’s wasting time. And, it’s not a federal issue.
RE: And, it’s not a federal issue.
If the disease from the homeless as described in the article starts to spread to other states, it becomes a federal issue.
Correct.
If State officials want to challenge the authority of the Feds to deal with this crisis, then at very least the spotlight will be on them to take action
Under court order if necessary
Trump is turning the screws on All these lib politicians wailing about human rights issues on the border while turning a blind eye to their own districts..
I thought this too. At first. But consider....
1. Typhus and other communicable diseases could spread to the rest of the US. California could infect the rest of the country. We should quarantine that state. Refuse to permit anyone from leaving it. Unless and until they provide a clean Bill of Health.
2. Trump is pissing off elected officials in California who are too freaking stupid (or afraid) to acknowlege the problems their socialism has created. And this is his way of giving them the Finger.

It isn’t about votes.
“And, it’s not a federal issue.”
Actually, it might be. If the reason these people cannot be institutionalized is due to federal judges, then it is the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT causing the problem. While I don’t know how it applies in each case in CA, I do know that federal judges are a HUGE part of the problem.
