US President Donald Trump said homeless people should “move” from Washington when he promised to fight crimes in the city, but the mayor pushed away from the White House, comparing the capital with Baghdad.
“We will give you places for living, but far from the capital,” he said on Sunday. The Republican president also held a press conference on Monday about his plan to make the city safer and more beautiful than if it used to. “
Mayor Muriel Bowzer, Democrat, said: “We do not feel the criminal outbreak.”
Trump signed an order last month, facilitating the arrest of homeless people, and last week he ordered a federal law enforcement agencies on Washington streets.
“The homeless people should move immediately,” Trump wrote on his social media social media site on Sunday.
“We will give you places for living, but far from the capital. Criminals, you don’t need to move. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.”
Along with photos of tents and debris, he added: “Won’t” Mr. Nice guy. “We want our capital to come back for your attention to this issue!”
The specificity of the president’s plan is not yet clear, but in the 2022 speech, he suggested moving homeless people to “high quality” tents on inexpensive land outside the cities, while providing access to bathrooms and healthcare professionals.
On Friday, Trump ordered a federal agent – including from the US police, drug fight, FBI and US Marshals – Washington to stop what he called “completely out of control.”
The White House official said national public radio This up to 450 federal officers was deployed on Saturday night.
This step comes after a 19-year-old former employee of the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) was attacked by an alleged attempt to make in Washington.
Trump has invented about this incident in social media by posting a photo of a bloody victim.
The mayor of the Bowzer said MSNBC on Sunday: “It is true that in 2023 we had a terrible spike in the crime, but it was not 2023.
“We have spent the last two years, reducing a violent crime in this city, having transferred it to a 30-year minimum.”
She criticized the Deputy Chief of Staff of the White House Stephen Miller for what they called the US capital “tougher than Baghdad.”
“Any comparison with the war-destroyed country is hyperbolic and false,” Bowzer said.
The level of killings in Washington remains relatively high in per capita compared to other US cities, a total of 98 such murders recorded this year. Hamicides were trending higher in the US capital from ten years ago.
But federal data from January It believes that the lowest common figures of violent crimes were recorded in Washington last year – after 30 years have been registered and robbery for 30 years.
Trump said there would be a press conference on Monday to outline his plans to stop violent crimes in the US capital.
In another message on Sunday, he stated that the event at 10:00 EDT (14:00 GMT) will decide that “crime, murder and death” in the city, as well as its “physical repairs”.
He described Bowzer as a “good man who tried”, adding that, despite her efforts, the crimes continue to become “worst”, and the city becomes “more dirty and less attractive.”
A partnership in a society, an organization working to reduce homelessness in Washington, reported Reuters Agenic Agerin that there were about 3,782 homeless people in the city of 700,000 residents any night.
Most were in public housing or in emergency shelters, but about 800 were considered “on the street”.
As a district, not a state, Washington, which is controlled by a federal government that has power to overcome some local laws.
The President controls the federal land and buildings in the city, although he will need a congress to take federal control over the county.
In recent days, he threatened to take over the Metropolitan police department of Washington, which, according to the Bowzer, was impossible.
“In our law there are very specific things that would allow the president to control our police department more,” Bowzer said. “None of these conditions in our city does not exist.”
