Trump considers major clampdown on California homeless camps
The San Francisco Chronicle ^ | September 10, 2019

Posted on 09/10/2019 1:21:59 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

President Trump is pushing for a government crackdown of California homeless encampments, pointing to the failure of local governments to deal with the crisis, according to the Washington Post.

The attention seems to be focused on Los Angeles for now, with San Francisco officials saying they’ve heard nothing from the Trump Administration about action in their area.

“I don’t know what they’re doing. I’ll believe it when I see it. Nobody has contacted us,” said San Francisco Mayor London Breed. “You think I know what’s going on in his (Trump’s) head?”

Over the past few weeks, federal officials have talked to officials in Los Angeles — which has seen skyrocketing homelessness numbers —about how to get people into shelter by opening up “government-back facilities,” according to the Post, which cited four anonymous sources aware of the discussions. The talks involve officials from the White House, Department of Housing and Urban Development and Domestic Policy Council. A delegation is now in California for the discussions.

Perhaps the CDC should also be involved.

This actually might be more fake news. Seems like they are suggesting that POTUS has said or done things, which are never specified or documented in the “article”.

Or what am I missing?

Everybody in CA will love him for it. People are getting very tired of the homeless taking over their neighborhoods, camping even near schools.

I severely doubt this is true. If San Fran Sicko is proud of their filth, why would Trump interfere?

Who's talking to you, princess? The article plainly said Los Angeles.

Anyone else flashing back to Godfather? "Michael says if you can't handle it..."

It’s not the federal gov’s job to solve a problem that’s been created by CA policies. Instead of being Sanctuary Cities, they could send the invaders home and give those houses to the homeless.

2 easy steps. A well placed fire hose and an equally well placed match!

The irony is — Californians will be begging for help from the feds when there is an outbreak of the plague, typhus or any other pandemic caused by the filth they are allowing to pile up.

The nuclear option is the federal government filing lawsuits claiming environmental laws are being violated (which they are — big time).

Nope, let them live in their own filth. They voted for it.

Excellent. Attack it indirectly and campaign on it.

If she had 10% of what’s going on in Trump’s head inside of her own, she’d be worth a couple hundred million bucks and be a Republican. Instead, she’s mayor of San Franshitco, which is vying for the title of “Biggest Laughingstock Among American Cities” with a bunch of other Dem-run shitholes.

The nuclear option is roadblocks on all roads in/out of California, enforcing passport control, arresting the dems in Sacramento, installing an interim military government, and forcibly deporting their illegals.
