Trump wants to evict homeless from Washington and send them 'far from the capital'
WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (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.

Sleepy Cotswolds hamlet shut down as JD Vance's holiday gets under way
As Janet and Jean headed off for their traditional Sunday walk through the shaded woods of the Cotswolds hamlet of Dean, they were stopped by two police officers blocking the footpath. The friends, in their seventies, were caught out by the massive security operation closing off all roads and footpaths into Dean so that JD Vance, the US vice-president, could enjoy a quiet family holiday at Dean Manor, the 18th century country house which neighbours David Cameron's Oxfordshire home. 'I told the police 'we are two old ladies, we are hardly terrorists',' Janet, who didn't want to give her real name, said. 'The police officers were very nice, one had come from High Wycombe and the other came from Marlow. 'We said 'you poor things, guarding this awful man'. It must be costing us a fortune. Another few thousands pounds down the pan.' The friends, who live in nearby Chadlington, said villagers had become resigned to the nuisance caused by visitors to Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm shop, which is on the outskirts of the village, but this was on another level. 'It's one blinking pantomime after the other,' Jean said. 'We are used to the great and good here. Before David Cameron moved in we had Douglas Hurd and he was lovely. We have Ben Kingsley in Spelsbury and we see him in the woods walking his dog, but to close off the roads is ridiculous.' US Secret Service officers, dressed down in cream chinos and pale blue T-shirts, and uniformed officers from Thames Valley Police, were stationed at every road and footpath entrance to Dean on Sunday, checking the identity of residents trying to get in and out of their hamlet. American officials were overheard at one road block mimicking a British accent and asking each other about hoping to try 'a bacon butty' and a 'Sunday dinner' during their trip. One Secret Service member said to another: 'I didn't know I'd need sunblock in the UK.' Sniffer dogs were used to search vans coming through the roadblocks. One bemused driver in a removals van asked for directions to Dean Manor. When he was asked by The Times what he was delivering, he said: 'It's for some American guy. I don't know, it's all top secret.' Inside the security cordon, the single road through the small collection of honey-coloured stone houses was quiet, apart from the regular comings and goings of police vans and people carriers and minibuses with blacked out windows, ferrying personnel back and forth from the manor. One resident, who runs a fresh eggs honesty box, was not phased by the operation. 'We had Vivienne Westwood driving up here in a tank to protest against David Cameron when he was prime minister, so there's all sorts that have gone on,' she said. 'It's no great hassle. As long as they don't bother me I don't bother with them.' Another resident said they didn't know Vance was staying at Dean Manor until security tents were erected on the roads into the hamlet on Saturday. The roadblocks began on Sunday. 'I've told some friends in America what's happening and they hate him,' he said. 'They live in Pennsylvania and they're lifelong Democrats. When I told them they just sent me an emoji of some sort of horror. Anyway, I've got nothing against the guy. If he wants to have a holiday that's fine. 'But what sort of holiday can you have when you've got thousands of security guys around you?' Johnny and Pippa Hornby, the millionaire owners who bought Dean Manor as their home in 2017, have apologised to some locals for 'the circus for the next few days' and said they hoped it would not be 'too disruptive'. Mr Hornby, chief executive of Luceco, the lighting and electricals company, and his wife open their 18th century manor house's gardens to the public and have hosted artist residencies. Tatler, the society bible, gave Dean Manor the 'best swimming pool' award in their Country House Awards in 2023, saying: 'Johnny and Pippa Hornby have transformed an Edwardian garden into a waterworld, filled with friends and family. Even the Camerons have been known to pop over for a dip.' Vance, his wife Usha, and their three children Ewan, eight, Vivek, five, and Mirabel, three, will be able to enjoy the outdoor pool during the heatwave, as well as the tennis court and six acres of manicured gardens. Their description on the National Garden Scheme website says the garden's 'stone walls are home to an abundant and varied selection of climbing/rambling roses, clematis and hydrangeas'. 'The formal gardens include complex yew hedging and herbaceous borders, kitchen and cutting garden, areas of wildflower meadow, an orchard and water gardens make up areas around the house.' Before arriving in the Cotswolds, Vance kept hundreds visitors to Hampton Court Palace locked out of the historic attraction on Sunday morning as it was shut down while his family enjoyed a tour of Henry VIII's former residence. The vice-president was seen yawning as he left the palace to join his 20-vehicle motorcade. Hundreds of bewildered ticket holders, mostly families with children standing outside, were denied entry at 11am and told to come back at 12pm. They weren't able to begin their visits until 12.30pm. Vance has previously had to cut holidays short and take extra safety precautions following protests by locals. In March, he curtailed his Vermont ski trip after crowds turned out to protest a day after he 'ambushed' President Zelensky in a bad-tempered meeting between Donald Trump and the Ukrainian leader in the White House. When the Vances visited Rome the following month, the Colosseum was closed early to accommodate them, which infuriated tourists. The Stop Trump Coalition is holding a protest on Tuesday in Charlbury, the nearby village which is home to The Bull pub, where celebrities such as Kamala Harris, the previous US vice- president, Ellen DeGeneres and Robbie Williams have dined in the past month. Laura Macy, an American resident of Charlbury, said she hoped to join the protest but did not want Vance's children to be intimidated. 'Let's all who deplore Trump, Vance, and the deplorable situation in the US raise our voices in any way we can,' she said. 'But let's be careful not to catch any innocent children in the crossfire. 'I have the faces of the young Obama girls, hearing the opposing side's jeers and racist abuse on election night 2008, seared on my memory. They didn't deserve that, and not just because their father is on my side of the political fence. They were children.'
