President Trump Threatens Homeless People to Immediately Move Out of Washington
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
