Trump demands homeless ‘immediately' move out of Washington DC to make nation's capital ‘more beautiful'
President Donald Trump has demanded that the homeless 'immediately' move out of Washington, D.C. to make the nation's capital 'more beautiful.' Trump reiterated his Saturday announcement that he's set to hold a press conference at the White House on Monday, adding on Truth Social on Sunday that 'I'm going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before.' 'The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,' he continued. 'We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong.' The president went on to say that 'It's all going to happen very fast, just like the Border. We went from millions pouring in, to ZERO in the last few months. This will be easier — Be prepared! There will be no 'MR. NICE GUY.' We want our Capital BACK.' Trump's promise to jail criminals in Washington comes as the city's mayor, Muriel Bowser, has noted that there's no recent increase in crime. Trump didn't outline what legal authority he would use to evict people from the capital — the president only controls federal lands and buildings in the District of Columbia. Trump also took to Truth Social on Saturday to say that he was hosting a press conference that would put a stop to violent crime in Washington. The president's Sunday post included images of tents and garbage on the streets of the capital. The Community Partnership is an organization working to reduce homelessness in Washington, a city of 700,000 people. According to the group, on any given night, there are roughly 3,782 people experiencing homelessness. However, most of them are in emergency shelters or transitional housing, while about 800 are unsheltered or 'on the street,' according to the group. On Friday, a White House official said that extra federal law enforcement officers were being deployed in Washington after a group of teenagers reportedly attacked a young Trump administration staffer during an attempted carjacking, angering Trump. Appearing on MSNBC on Sunday, Bowser said Washington was "not experiencing a crime spike." "It is true that we had a terrible spike in crime in 2023, but this is not 2023," she said. "We have spent over the last two years driving down violent crime in this city, driving it down to a 30-year low." The capital's police department reported that violent crime in the first seven months of this year was down by 26 percent compared with 2024. Overall, crime was down roughly seven percent. Bowser noted that the president is 'very aware' of Washington's work alongside federal law enforcement after she met with him at the White House some weeks ago. The mayor added on Sunday that Trump can call in the National Guard if he so chooses. The administration recently did so over the objection of local officials in response to immigration protests in Los Angeles. Congress controls Washington's budget following its establishment in 1790, using land from Maryland and Virginia. However, D.C. residents choose their own mayor and city council. If Trump wanted to take control of D.C., Congress would likely have to pass legislation revoking the law that put in place the local elected leaders, which the president then would have to sign for it to take effect.

Trump's judicial picks could reshape abortion rights for decades
CHICAGO — During Donald Trump's campaign for president last year, he sought to ease the concerns of voters alarmed that the Supreme Court he helped shape during his first term had overturned the constitutional right to abortion, saying that he did not oppose abortion but thought the issue should be decided by individual states. More than six months into Trump's second term in the White House, a review by the Associated Press shows that several of his nominees to the federal courts have revealed antiabortion views, been associated with antiabortion groups or defended abortion restrictions. Several have helped defend their state's abortion restrictions in court, and some have been involved in cases with national impact, including on access to medication abortion. The nominees, with lifetime appointments, would be in position to roll back abortion rights long after Trump leaves the White House. Trump has repeatedly shifted his messaging on abortion, often giving contradictory or vague answers. In the years before the 2024 campaign, Trump had voiced support for a federal ban on abortion on or after 20 weeks in pregnancy and said he might support a national ban around 15 weeks. He later settled on messaging that decisions about abortion access should be left to the states. Throughout his campaign, Trump has alternated between taking credit for appointing the Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe vs. Wade and striking a more neutral tone. That's been an effort to navigate the political divide between his base of antiabortion supporters and the broader public, which largely supports access to abortion. One Trump nominee called abortion a 'barbaric practice,' while another referred to himself as a 'zealot' for the antiabortion movement. A nominee from Tennessee said abortion deserves special scrutiny because 'this is the only medical procedure that terminates a life.' One from Missouri spread misinformation about medication abortion, including that it 'starves the baby to death in the womb' in a lawsuit aiming to challenge the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. Legal experts and abortion rights advocates warn of a methodical remaking of the federal courts in a way that could pose enduring threats to abortion access nationwide. Bernadette Meyler, a professor of constitutional law at Stanford University, said judicial appointments 'are a way of federally shaping the abortion question without going through Congress or making a big, explicit statement.' 'It's a way to cover up a little bit what is happening in the abortion sphere compared to legislation or executive orders that may be more visible, dramatic and spark more backlash,' she said. Harrison Fields, a White House spokesperson, said that 'every nominee of the President represents his promises to the American people and aligns with the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling.' 'The Democrats' extreme position on abortion was rejected in November in favor of President Trump's commonsense approach, which allows states to decide, supports the sanctity of human life, and prevents taxpayer funding of abortion,' Fields said in a statement to the AP. Trump focused primarily on the economy and immigration during his 2024 campaign, the issues that surveys showed were the most important topics for voters. Antiabortion advocates say it's premature to determine whether the nominees will support their objectives, but they're hopeful based on the names put forth so far. 'We look forward to four more years of nominees cut from that mold,' said Katie Glenn Daniel, director of legal affairs for the national antiabortion organization SBA Pro-Life America. Abortion-rights advocates said Trump is embedding abortion opponents into the judiciary one judge at a time. 'This just feeds into this larger strategy where Trump has gotten away with distancing himself from abortion, saying he's going to leave it to the states, while simultaneously appointing antiabortion extremists at all levels of government,' said Mini Timmaraju, president of the national abortion rights organization Reproductive Freedom for All, formerly known as NARAL Pro-Choice America, Fernando writes for the Associated Press.
