Trump wants to evict homeless from Washington and send them 'far from the capital'
By Bo Erickson and Nandita Bose WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump pledged on Sunday to evict homeless people from the nation's capital and jail criminals, despite Washington's mayor arguing there is no current spike in crime. "The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. 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," Trump posted on the Truth Social platform. The White House declined to explain what legal authority Trump would use to evict people from Washington. The Republican president controls only federal land and buildings in the city. Trump is planning to hold a press conference on Monday to "stop violent crime in Washington, D.C." It was not clear whether he would announce more details about his eviction plan then. Trump's Truth Social post included pictures of tents and D.C. streets with some garbage on them. "I'm going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before," he said. According to the Community Partnership, an organization working to reduce homelessness in D.C., on any given night there are 3,782 single persons experiencing homelessness in the city of about 700,000 people. Most of the homeless individuals are in emergency shelters or transitional housing. About 800 are considered unsheltered or "on the street," the organization says. A White House official said on Friday that more federal law enforcement officers were being deployed in the city following a violent attack on a young Trump administration staffer that angered the president. The Democratic mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser, said on Sunday the capital was "not experiencing a crime spike." "It is true that we had a terrible spike in crime in 2023, but this is not 2023," Bowser said on MSNBC's The Weekend. "We have spent over the last two years driving down violent crime in this city, driving it down to a 30-year low." The city's police department reports that violent crime in the first seven months of 2025 was down by 26% in D.C. compared with last year while overall crime was down about 7%. Bowser said Trump is "very aware" of the city's work with federal law enforcement after meeting with Trump several weeks ago in the Oval Office. The U.S. Congress has control of D.C.'s budget after the district was established in 1790 with land from neighboring Virginia and Maryland, but resident voters elect a mayor and city council. For Trump to take over the city, Congress likely would have to pass a law revoking the law that established local elected leadership, which Trump would have to sign. Bowser on Sunday noted the president's ability to call up the National Guard if he wanted, a tactic the administration used recently in Los Angeles after immigration protests over the objections of local officials.

North Dakota man drowns in Minnesota's Cass Lake, sheriff says
A North Dakota man drowned early Saturday evening in northern Minnesota, according to the Cass County Sheriff's Office. First responders were called to Cass Lake just before 6 p.m. after the 41-year-old victim, from Grafton, North Dakota, went into the water without a life jacket to try and fix an issue with a pontoon motor. "Juveniles on the boat attempted to throw the victim a life jacket and the boat began to drift in high winds," the sheriff's office said. "The boat was later intercepted by other boaters on the lake and the incident was reported to 911." The victim's body was found and recovered from the lake just before 8 p.m. The sheriff's office says the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office will release the victim's identity and official cause of death at a later time. Cass Lake is more than 200 miles northwest of Minneapolis.
