DC's homeless pack up as sweeps are expected. What we know about Trump's plan to clear encampments
Some of the District of Columbia's homeless residents were packing their belongings Thursday before expected sweeps to clear out remaining encampments around the nation's capital, part of President Donald Trump 's federal takeover of policing in the city. Trump said this week that homeless people will be moved far from the city in his crackdown on crime. But details of the plan to do so are unclear. Washington's status as a congressionally established federal district gives Trump the opportunity to push his tough-on-crime agenda. It's prompted concern from advocates and others who say there are better ways to address homelessness than clearing encampments and leaving their occupants worrying about where they go. Here's a look at what we know and what questions remain about how Trump's actions will affect the city's homeless population: What's happening to encampments? Near the Institute of Peace on Thursday morning, AP journalists saw about a dozen homeless D.C. residents packing their belongings. Items weren't being forcibly thrown out by law enforcement, but an earth mover dug out and scooped away the remains of encampments, depositing them into the bed of an idling truck. Yards away, several protesters held signs, some critical of the Trump administration. Volunteers from some of the agencies around the city that help homeless people were on hand, and advocates said they expected law enforcement officers to fan out across D.C. later Thursday to take down any remaining homeless encampments, Amber W. Harding, executive director of the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless, said she believed that 'federal law enforcement will begin systematically rounding up and arresting unhoused people." She believed officers would ask people to move on or would 'offer shelter,' arresting people if they refused either directive. 'We do not have enough shelter beds for everyone on the street,' Harding said. 'This is a chaotic and scary time for all of us in D.C., but particularly for people without homes.' Lucho Vásquez, executive director of the Coalition for the Homeless, said his group was 'focusing all energies on opening and operating temporary facilities' for anyone in need of emergency shelter, food or other resources after the removals. Where will the city's homeless people be taken? It's not entirely clear. Trump wrote on his social media site before Monday's news conference announcing the takeover that homeless people will have to leave immediately. 'We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital,' he posted. Asked this week where homeless people would be relocated, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said local police and federal agencies would 'enforce the laws that are already on the books,' which, she said, 'have been completely ignored.' Citing a city regulation that she said gives local police 'the authority to take action when it comes to homeless encampments,' Leavitt said homeless people 'will be given the option to leave their encampment, to be taken to a homeless shelter, to be offered addiction or mental health services.' Those who refuse 'will be susceptible to fines or to jail time.' In the past five months, U.S. Park Police have removed 70 homeless encampments, giving the people living in them the same options, she said. As of Tuesday, Leavitt said only two homeless encampments remained in district parks maintained by the National Park Service and would be removed this week. How many homeless people are in Washington? It is difficult to obtain accurate counts of homeless populations. On one day at the end of each January, municipal agencies across the United States perform a 'point-in-time' count aimed at capturing the total number of people in emergency shelters, transitional housing or without any housing. The 2025 count in the district put the total at 5,138 adults and children, a 9% decrease compared with the year before, according to Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser. What are city officials doing for the homeless? District officials said Tuesday they were making additional shelter space available. Kevin Donahue, the city administrator, said outreach workers were visiting homeless encampments and the city has a building available that could house as many as 200 people, if needed. Donahue made the comments during a conversation with community advocates and Bowser. The conversation was broadcast on X. He said the outreach would continue through the week with a 'greater level of urgency.' Bowser said that when Trump sees homeless encampments in the city it 'triggers something in him that has him believing our very beautiful city is dirty, which it is not.' What are people in Washington saying? Washington residents emphasized reductions in crime in recent years and concerns over the removal of homeless encampments in interviews Tuesday criticizing the federal takeover of the city's police department. Jeraod Tyre, who has lived in the city for 15 years, said 'crime has been slowing down lately' and argued that federal troops would only escalate tensions because they do not have 'relationships with the people in the community' like local police do. Sheiena Taylor, 36, said she is more fearful as a result of the presence of federal forces in the city where she was born and raised. Taylor said she has seen federal officers around her home and on the subway and worries about their targeting of young people and people experiencing homelessness. 'Being homeless isn't a crime,' she said, emphasizing the need for solutions to the root causes of homelessness or crime rather than policing. In several spots across the city, AP journalists talked to homeless people who were being told either by federal law enforcement officials or advocacy groups to pack up tents and belongings from parks and other public spaces before more official removal measures. Some expressed fear and anxiety about what might be coming. ___ Associated Press writers Christine Fernando in Chicago, Mike Balsamo and Darlene Superville; video journalists River Zhang and Nathan Ellgren; and photographer Jacquelyn Martin contributed to this report. ___

Family of Holly Hatcher pay tribute to beloved teacher as they admit they may never know why she was murdered
The murdered mother of rising county music star Spencer Hatcher has been lauded as a 'teacher who touched the lives of countless students' in a heartbreaking obituary notice. Holly Hatcher, 62, was stabbed to death inside the remote Virginia home she shared with husband Michael in a baffling random attack by stranger Kevin Walker. Michael, 65, was injured in the horrific late-night assault, but shot Walker dead in self-defense with a handgun he managed to desperately grab from his car on the driveway. Her devastated family have now paid tribute in a funeral home obituary in Harrisonburg to the former teacher of young children, murdered just days before her 63rd birthday. 'For nearly 20 years, Holly served as an elementary school teacher, touching the lives of countless students with her kindness, creativity, and the steadfast belief in every child's potential,' it reads. 'Her classroom was more than a place of learning – it was a sanctuary of encouragement, patience, safety and love. 'Her influence on generations of young learners and fellow educators leaves a legacy that cannot be measured.' Walker broke into the Hatchers' isolated four-bedroom home down a long narrow private road in Timberville, just north of Harrisonburg, shortly before midnight on August 3. He was armed with a large knife bought from a nearby Walmart. Less than 48 hours earlier the 41-year-old killer – who lived 120 miles away in Pikesville, Maryland – had checked into the nearby Endless Caverns RV park. It is roughly two miles from the house as the crow flies across Shenandoah Valley fields, as revealed in an exclusive Daily Mail photo. Rockingham County Sheriff's Office is still investigating the case, though no charges will be brought now that Walker is dead. Sheriff Bryan Hutcheson told Daily Mail on Tuesday that he was 'unable to provide any more information' on top of a statement last weekend. 'We will likely issue a final update sometime in the future, however we are not in a position to do that yet,' he added. The chief medical examiner's office for the northern Virginia district said Walker died from a 'gunshot wound to the torso and sharp force injury of torso'. Meanwhile the community around Harrisonburg remains stunned at the apparent motiveless murder of the mother of rising star Spencer, 28, who signed a deal with Stone County Records last year. That continued grief was also expressed in the family's obituary, which also says: 'Our entire community is devastated by this senseless tragedy, a loss that has left a deep wound in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. 'Holly's life was one of quiet strength, compassion, dedication, and never-ending service. 'Her absence is felt in every corner of the town she so faithfully served – from the school hallways to the hearts of her neighbors, friends and loved ones.' On an even more personal note, it says: 'Holly was the cherished and deeply loved wife of Michael Hatcher, her husband of 35 years, and the proud and devoted mother of three sons: Dane, 31, Spence, 28 and Connor, 25. 'She nurtured her family with strong Christian values, unwavering love, humor, and grace, always placing their happiness and well-being above all else. Her presence in their lives will always be a guiding force – gentle but strong, steady but vibrant.' The family plan a memorial service on Saturday at her former John C. Myers elementary school to honor her 'extraordinary life, mourn her passing and celebrate her legacy.' The burial will be private. 'Though her life ended far too soon, Holly's spirit will live on in the lives she shaped, the family she so dearly loved and the countless hearts she touched,' the obituary says. It concludes: 'She is a light in this world – and that light will shine for eternity.' Comments posted included one from Katie Burress that says: 'We are heartbroken to hear of Holly's passing. She taught both of my children in elementary school. 'She was one of their favorite teachers. As they grew older, even just prior to her passing, if she saw them out and about (they are now 24 and 21) she always said hello with a warm and welcoming smile, a hug and asked what they had been up to. 'She was truly a vibrant, caring, nurturing and wonderful lady.' Spencer, who bought a four-bedroom rural home close to his parents two years ago, is a bluegrass-influenced musician with more than 720,000 TikTok followers. He canceled several upcoming concerts in the wake of the tragedy, telling his fans that his family is battling a 'monumental loss'. The case is even more baffling because Walker had no known history of violence or criminal behavior before the horror, police said. He appeared like an ordinary camper when he checked into the RV park and chatted politely with staff. He even joined guests on a guided tour of the Endless Caverns set of caves. But three hours after the tour he drove to a Walmart where he bought a large knife and a sleeping bag, police said. Then, bizarrely, between 3am and 5am next day he rammed his car into the front door of the resort's gift shop, causing $10,000 of damage. Police patrols were alerted and a drone was used in the search for Walker, but there was no trace of him. His vehicle was found abandoned on Endless Caverns Road. The next call law enforcement received was at 11:58pm on Sunday, August 3, when Michael reported the home invasion. First responders found him outside with visible injuries and Walker lying dead in the driveway. Holly was inside, dead from stab wounds. 'It was determined that the offender entered the home armed with a large knife and stabbed the victim, causing her fatal injuries, said the sheriff's office. At a press conference, Sheriff Hutcheson – a family friend of the Hatchers – said there was no reason to suspect 'any potential for violence' during criminal damage hunt for Walker. Flanked by Spencer, devastated Michael told the conference many questions over the killing may never be answered. 'All I can tell you is we've cried, we've hurt, and we've hugged and we've found more love than we have ever known between us, and between you.' Sheriff Hutcheson said: 'I've been in law enforcement for 31 years and I have never seen anything like this in my entire career.' Endless Cavern RV Park general manager Mike Stewart told Daily Mail that Walker was 'polite' when he checked in, and neither he nor any other staff members noticed anything strange about his behavior. 'We all interacted with him, and there was nothing aggressive or unusual about him,' said Stewart. 'There were no red flags that would have led us to believe he'd be capable of doing something like this… if there were, I would've called the police. 'Everything was normal until it wasn't… the next morning, that's when everything went south.

Police facial recognition vans feel 'totalitarian', young people say
A police force's decision to start using vans with live facial recognition technology in them feel like a "totalitarian" move, young people have said. Greater Manchester Police will be able to scan the faces of passers-by and check them against a database of wanted Barumire, 18, said: "I think it is quite totalitarian, especially in a society like England that claims to be very democratic and free."Greater Manchester Police declined to comment when approached by the BBC. Greater Manchester police is one of seven forces in England to receive a share of 10 new vehicles will be operated by a trained officer who verifies any matches identified by the system measures facial features, like the distance between the eyes and the length of the jawline, and compares the data to an existing technology has already been used in London to make 580 arrests in 12 months, including those of 52 registered sex offenders accused of breaching their conditions. Speaking to the BBC at Piccadilly Gardens, reactions to the vans were mixed. Mia Kaivanto, 18, raised concerns about data privacy. She said: "More surveillance isn't necessarily equivalent to more efficient arrests."Another concern, raised by 21-year-old Awsten Heron, was whether the technology would be used to target protesters. The seven forces receiving a share of the 10 vans are Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Bedfordshire, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley and Kerr, 18, and Olivia Keane, 19, said the vans could help people feel "a lot safer"."I think it is a good idea if it helps reduce crime rates," Ms Keane Johnson, 25, said he thought there was potential for the new systems to be "abused," but if it was used as intended to help catch criminals, it was "ok".
