Trump Signs Controversial Executive Order on Homelessness On July 24, former President Donald Trump signed a new executive order aimed at removing homeless individuals from public spaces, sparking backlash nationwide. The order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to challenge cour decisions and consent decrees that limit the forced relocation of homeless people—particularly those with mental health conditions—into treatment facilities. Trump stated the move is meant to “restore public safety” and provide “compassionate treatment through civil commitment.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the plan as a step toward “Making America Safe Again.”
