Trump to start arresting homeless

[David Ward 9,613]

The Trump administration plans to lock up homeless people under EO 14321, which promotes involuntary civil commitment for those with mental illness or substance issues.

It cuts housing-first funding, redirects grants to cities enforcing encampment bans, and frames homelessness as a crime issue. Supporters call it a safety measure, but critics warn it revives forced institutionalization, violates civil rights, and ignores root causes like affordable housing and addiction services.

Imprisoning them at $12,000 a month lines the pockets of his private prison allies far more than housing them for just $2,000 a month.

The way society treats and views the homeless is truly shameful and beyond belief. Its people forget they are also people???

 

Also i find this infuriating:

Disgusting.

Anything radical he does at this point I’m reading as a distraction from Epstein. I’m worried this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Modern day slavery

Is there no end to his reign of terror? 

Ar this rate...being LGBT will also be a "mental illness crime" and we'll all be locked up in psych wards undergoing conversion therapy and forced to attend religious services...aka Gilead from Handsmaids Tale

I’m sorry but some of the homeless who suffer from substance abuse or untreated severe mental conditions probably would benefit from forcibly being sent to a place where they could get clean or on medication. Sometimes these people don’t have the resources or will to do it themselves so in my opinion forcibly getting people help could be best for the individuals and the entire community. I was just in Denver and it was sad and alarming to see so many homeless suffering from drug abuse or severe mental conditions. Just leaving people out in the streets to rot is far from humane if you ask me.

It's not that. He's rigging the election. Homeless can't vote, and prisoners don't either. The difference is that prisoners count towards the population in the areas they are imprisoned. Republicans love building prisons in Republican areas. They're packing districts to make their vote count for more.

Realistically, how much do you think prison helps people with substance abuse issues? It doesn't. Prison does absolutely nothing for the public but invite recidivism, stigma, and the feeling we might be doing something good. People that abuse drugs need to go to facilities that are actually equipped to help rehabilitate. They need clean needles. They need access to healthcare. They need access to Narcan. They need a space where they can detox safely, not thrown in boxes with a bunch of other people in unsanitary conditions with a bunch of guards that don't give a damn about them.
