This is yet more fascism… AND a deliberate distraction from Rump’s own crimes! (bolding mine)

President Trump has ordered White House officials to conduct a sweeping crackdown on homelessness in California, citing the state’s growing crisis, according to four government officials aware of the effort.
The talks have intensified in recent weeks. Administration officials have discussed using the federal government to get homeless people off the streets of Los Angeles and other areas and into new government-backed facilities, according to two officials briefed on the planning. But it is unclear how they could accomplish this and what legal authority they would use.
...Also under consideration is razing existing camps for the homeless, two officials said. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the planning hasn’t been publicly revealed.
Other ideas include the creation of new facilities or refurbishing of existing facilities that would give the federal government a bigger role in supervising health care and housing, among other things, these people said.
The talks are fluid and concrete plans had not been reached.
The effort comes after Trump repeatedly attacked Democratic politicians in California over the state’s growing homelessness issue, which he has called a “disgrace to our country.” The president is directly involved with the initiative, officials said.
He’s trolling CA, emboldened by the lack of pushback from Rethugs. This is a breaking story… more when I have it. Worth reading the whole article, if you can get past the paywall.
