Donald Trump vows to evict homeless from Washington DC ‘immediately'
'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,' Mr Trump posted on the Truth Social platform. The White House declined to explain what legal authority Mr Trump would use to evict people from Washington. The Republican president controls only federal land and buildings in the city. Mr Trump is planning to hold a press conference today to 'stop violent crime in Washington DC'. It was not clear whether he would announce more details about his eviction plan then. Mr Trump's Truth Social post included pictures of tents and DC streets with some rubbish 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 organisation working to reduce homelessness in Washington, on any given night there are 3,782 single persons experiencing homelessness in the city of about 700,000 people. Most homeless people are in emergency shelters or transitional housing. About 800 are considered unsheltered or 'on the street', the organisation said. 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. Alleged crimes investigated by federal agents on Friday night included 'multiple persons carrying a pistol without licence', motorists driving on suspended licences, and dirt-bike riding, according to a White House official yesterday. The official said 450 federal law enforcement officers were deployed across the city on Saturday. We have spent the last two years driving down violent crime in this city The Democratic mayor of Washington DC, Muriel Bowser, yesterday said 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,' Ms Bowser said on MSNBC's The Weekend. 'We have spent the last two years driving down violent crime in this city, driving it down to a 30-year low.' The city's police department reported that violent crime in the first seven months of 2025 was down by 26pc in Washington compared with last year, while overall crime was down about 7pc. Ms Bowser said Mr Trump is 'very aware' of the city's work with federal law enforcement after meeting with him several weeks ago in the Oval Office. The US Congress has control of DC's budget, after the district was established in 1790 with land from neighbouring Virginia and Maryland, but resident voters elect a mayor and city council. For Mr Trump to take over the city, Congress probably would have to pass a law revoking the law that established local elected leadership, which Mr Trump would have to sign. Ms Bowser yesterday 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.

Notorious terror group pledge ‘partial' move away from paramilitary activity
If allowed they will leave behind a younger membership which has no intention of ditching their UDA identity. The renegade group has indicated that a significant element of their membership is ready to make a move towards standing down but have warned they have no intention of disappearing. The Sunday World understands a significant number of SEA members – overwhelmingly veterans with more than 10 and in some cases 20 years' 'active service'' – are keen to walk away. If allowed they will leave behind a younger membership which has no intention of ditching their UDA identity. The organisation has indicated it is no longer recruiting and that it no longer takes membership dues. But that is far as they are willing to go. Factions within SEA are already taking advantage of the situation and have set themselves up as autonomous groups. According to well-placed sources, one such group is led by convicted drug offender, killer driver and murder suspect Colin Simms. He has been at loggerheads with the SEA leadership and has set himself on collision course with brigadier Gary Fisher once again. Simms is believed to have moved back onto home turf in the Glenfield estate in Carrickfergus where his close associates erected UDA flags. Simms was once one of the most trusted figures in SEA – he was seen as ex-commander Clifford 'Trigger' Irons' right-hand man and faithful to Fisher. He was then arrested and questioned in relation to the murder of Glenn Quinn in January 2020. Terminally ill Glenn was battered to death in his own home by a gang, some of whom had connections to SEA. He was beaten with iron bars and suffered 52 fractures to his upper body. Simms was questioned and remains a suspect, although no one has been made accountable for the attack. He was then accused of siphoning money from the SEA and was subjected to a punishment shooting allegedly on Fisher's orders before being stood down. It is understood one of the commitments made by SEA leaders to British government negotiators was to scale back displays of paramilitary emblems and flags. Simms' move will be seen as a direct challenge to Fisher. Well-placed sources say SEA proposals place the British in an awkward position. There is an acknowledgement that there will be criminal elements who will continue to use the UDA name. And there is no offer on the table to eradicate drug dealing despite repeated pledges to do so since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement almost three decades ago. Simms' move is an indication of the worst case scenario. Drug dealing in the town will become fragmented, with SEA losing overall control of the trade. Should rival crime gangs follow suit it will result in a patchwork of organised crime gangs across the district. With 2,500 members, SEA is by far the largest brigade under the UDA flag. The vast majority are no longer active members. 'What they're (SEA) offering are small steps, the fact they will stop recruitment is welcome but in reality is window dressing,' a security source told us. It comes as the Sunday World also understands the remnants of the once-ruling Inner Council have told the British that they are not in a position to deliver UDA disbandment. The command structure of the organisation has disintegrated almost entirely, those remaining from the original Inner Council such as veteran South Belfast Brigadier Jackie McDonald – regarded as the de-facto leader of the UDA – no longer hold any significant influence. Loyalist terror groups put an £8.5 million price tag on them disbanding in the years after the Good Friday Agreement. Countless millions of pounds have been poured into loyalist areas. powerless Tommy Kirkham – who led the SEA breakaway in 2007 and who was dubbed Tommy 'Millions'' – said he could deliver the organisation, but nothing came of it. The SEA UDA is not a part of the Loyalist Communities Council and negotiates autonomously from the rest of the UDA, UVF and Red Hand Commando. The group has ruled out disbandment, with a source saying, 'if they stood down their leadership, they'd be replaced with a new one before teatime'. Their position is that they are offering only what they can. Realistically, they say, all they can do is cease recruitment and stop formal collection of membership dues. They are powerless to stop people – including themselves – using the UDA for criminal purposes. An interlocutor as recommended by the Independent Monitoring Commission is acting as a go-between with paramilitaries to gauge how far these organisations are willing to go. SEA has been responsible for a raft of murders in recent years – with all victims coming from their own community, including one-time commander Geordie Gilmore murdered in 2017 after a year-long feud. Other victims include 20-year-old Daniel McColgan in January 2002 as he arrived for work at a postal sorting office in Rathcoole, and 18-year-old Gavin Brett — the brother of DUP MLA Phillip — shot dead on the Hightown Road in Glengormley as he stood chatting to a group of friends in July 2001. Speculation around SEA comes as it was reported the UDA's 'London Brigade' had announced it was formally stand down. As reported by former British army officer, historian and author Aaron Edwards, it is believed the unit has transitioned into a veterans organisation. It is not thought the move will be regarded as in any way significant to the situation in Northern Ireland, with one security source describing it to the Sunday World as a 'distraction'.

Gardai probing motive after masked gang caught on camera setting car alight
Gardai are investigating a motive for an arson attack and damage caused to a house in Castleconnell, Co Limerick this morning. The violent attack, carried out by four masked males, armed with hatchets and accelerant, occurred around 1.30am, Friday. CCTV footage shared on social media showed that as one of the males entered the curtilage of the property with a hatchet, two of the perpetrators smashed up a car parked outside the house, and the fourth male set the vehicle on fire. The men then fled in a black coloured car as the occupants of the house emerged from the property. A female voice can be heard on the footage as the men are carrying out the attack, shouting "what are ye scumbag ya, you're f*****g dead".
