Trump Order Aims to Make It Easier to Remove the Homeless Off the Streets

UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – The order requires homeless individuals to enter treatment centers, aiming to address public health concerns while raising civil rights questions, officials said.

  • Thursday's signing saw President Donald Trump enact an executive order to detain homeless individuals in treatment centers, aiming to improve public safety.
  • A June Supreme Court ruling permitted arrests of homeless individuals for sleeping in public, as it reversed judicial precedents and limited consent decrees, enabling stricter enforcement.
  • Federal agencies including Health and Human Services, HUD and the Department of Transportation were ordered to prioritize grants for enforcement, while the White House fact sheet stated that shifting individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment is the most proven way to restore public order.
  • The American Civil Liberties Union condemned 'targeting disabled and unhoused people,' and Scout Katovich criticized 'blaming individuals for systemic failures and doubling down on policies that punish people with nowhere else to go.'
  • Future provisions include federal data collection on unhoused people and a shift toward institutional treatment, raising concerns about surveillance and funding for harm reduction and Housing First approach.
