President Trump signed an executive order to evacuate homeless encampments, sparking controversy and criticism from civil rights advocates.

The executive order signed by Trump urges cities and states to evacuate homeless encampments and move them into treatment centers, which has been criticized by homeless advocacy organizations. He is calling on the attorney general to repeal laws that limit such actions, but how to implement them remains unclear. In 2024, some 771,480 people were homeless in the US, and advocacy groups warn that the measures could worsen the crisis by criminalizing homelessness and diverting needed resources.
