Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets

President Donald Trump issued an order titled "Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets" to address homelessness and public safety concerns. The order directs the Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human Services to promote civil commitment for individuals with mental illness or substance abuse issues who pose risks to themselves or the public. It also mandates prioritizing federal grants for states and municipalities that enforce laws against illicit drug use, urban camping, and squatting. Additionally, the order calls for a shift in federal resources toward evidence-based programs for substance use disorder and mental health, while also increasing accountability in homelessness assistance programs by ending support for "housing first" policies. The aim is to restore public order and enhance safety by addressing the root causes of homelessness.
