Is Trump’s Ruthless Approach to Homelessness Actually Different Than DC’s?
from City Cast DC · host City Cast
Trump’s deployment of the national guard and ICE had some obvious targets. But in the background, homeless folks were also feeling the pain. There were displacements and arrests of homeless encampments, all in the name of keeping the city clean and crime free. Franziska Wild and Madi Koesler from Street Sense Media are here break down what happened over that month and where DC’s homeless population stands now. This story is part of our 2025 contribution to the D.C. Homeless Crisis Reporting Project in collaboration with other local newsrooms.
