President Trump is calling on homeless people to immediately “move out” of Washington, D.C. It’s unclear what legal authority the president could use to evict people. It comes as the administration is reportedly preparing to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to the nation’s capital. President Trump is planning to hold a press conference today on crime in D.C., this despite the fact that rates of violent crime in the nation’s capital have been falling in recent years.
