The White House has announced that individuals who refuse to comply with plans to clean up homeless encampments in Washington D.C. could face fines or jail time. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the city’s laws, which have been largely ignored, will be enforced starting soon.
Homeless individuals will be given the option to leave their encampment and seek help at a shelter, addiction treatment services, or mental health care. However, if they refuse, they may face consequences.
The administration is also exploring alternative solutions, such as relocating homeless individuals to areas far from the capital. For now, options include accessing shelters, services, or jail time.
