In a move that has stunned Americans coast to coast, former President Donald Trump allegedly issued an unprecedented directive: the complete clearance of homeless encampments across all 50 states beginning at 4 a.m. this morning.
According to the order, federal and state agencies were instructed to work together to remove individuals from city streets, parks, and underpasses in what officials described as a βsweeping national operation.β
Eyewitnesses reported early-morning scenes of confusion as law enforcement and city workers moved into homeless encampments in multiple cities. Advocates for the unhoused have already condemned the action as βone of the most aggressive crackdowns in modern history.β
Supporters of the order claim it was necessary to βrestore public safety and order,β while critics argue it criminalizes poverty and strips away basic human rights.
As the operation continues, the nation remains deeply divided β with some praising the decision as overdue, and others calling it a humanitarian crisis in the making.
