Trump's new order will reportedly redirect federal funds to send impacted homeless people to treatment or rehabilitation facilities.
Trump's new order will reportedly redirect federal funds to send impacted homeless people to treatment or rehabilitation facilities.
“into rehabilitation, treatment AND other facilities” What are the other facilities? Your headline is disingenuous in omission. Do better.
I’m sure some time in the sun in the hospitality of alligator Alcatraz is all they really need.
Ok but in what country
Let me guess: the 'treatment center' will be called schmaligator schmalcatraz?
Most of the remaining *loyal* base of that person won’t care where these humans go as long as they don’t have to see them. Absolutely disgusting how selfish people can be to turn a blind eye for their own eyes comfort. Absolutely sick.
Is this his final solution to homelessness?
You’re saying the quiet part out loud.
Ohhh…SHIT! I wasn’t supposed to give spoilers. So sorry!
Its not just addicts or mentally ill people who become homeless.
Sounds vaguely familiar. Didn't the Soviets put dissidents in mental institutions as a way of imprisoning them?
There are not such facilities available! Reagan shut them down.
📌
Not gonna lie. A lot of the homelessness you can track to mental illness, drug abuse and sexual abuse. This is not a bad idea
Devil will be in the details. And the devil is definitely at work in this Administration.
Unfortunately it is. It is a good idea but Trump and his team probably won’t execute it the way it should.
May you rot with the MAGAts
Alright, I’ll see if I do, but just so I can be clear… is it bad to treat some of the issues that might be contributing to homelessness in our society?? Provide treatment to people who need it is somewhat unethical or immoral or cruel?? Enlighten me.
Weird because throwing people into prisons isn’t effective; programs that are effective involve providing HOUSING and treatment. But that doesn’t make money for the private prison system.
Litteraly says treatment, you have to do that so then you can house them and hopefully remain good enough to function in society and stat in a home.
You’ve clearly never dealt with civil commitment (unwilling imprisonment for mental health issues): these systems are so abusive you wouldn’t believe me when I tell you about the legal cases alone
You are a fool if you think they mean that when they are building private prisons
They have been open that their opinion on the disabled is that they should die.
They would never have the guts to write that headline. No media in the US will report truth. Look to other countries’ news. Ours is 100% compromised.
Following the Hitler playbook. Concentration camps being set up now. The difference? These camps are run by the oligarchs for profit, using taxpayer money.
So. More concentration camps?
Trump's new order will reportedly make pigs fly
The federal government funded treatment centers and hospitals, until Reagan cut funding and the homeless population exploded.
He has zero patience, even less foresight and planning capability. There is no due diligence, just another whim. Where are these treatment centers, and who’s paying for it?
Yeah? For how long? What does it cost? Isn’t that what Na€I Germany did? Do the homeless ever get to leave those “treatment or rehabilitation facilities”? If so, do they get a free one-way flight to South Sudan 🇸🇩 or Libya 🇱🇾 or El Sal 🇸🇻? Or Dachau?
And what programs’ funding (allocated by law) is he unilaterally cutting?
You are irresponsible. “Treatment centers” = concentration camps.
Isn't that what Hitler did?
What federal funds?! More nonsense carried upon the backs of the most vulnerable…’that F-ing guy’
Where exactly are you sending them? And exactly what type of treatments are you going to experiment with on them? And when do they leave? And where will they go?
I think we need to be concerned with the part that says "other facilities"...
THIS! The racist fascists need free labor. Their wealth depends on slave labor
precisely
Against their will
I couldn't tell from the article where they are redirecting funds *from.* If it's from ICE - that's a bloated budget for sure. But we clearly are wary of this entire idea. It seems like he might be threatening to take funds from cities that don't lock up homeless one way or another.
Like the newly built center in Florida? That would be his MO
And he is still an adjudicated rapist, felon, and malignant narcissist. This EO forgives nothing
Treatment? Or “Treatment “ Centers?
Enough of this fool!
I’m in California where the electeds at every level of government pledge to increase access to drug and mental health treatment. Raise taxes - many of us voted yes in LA County. And nothing changed. They pooped the money away on something. Trump may be doing the same, but he is not the first.
Hi @bluefolk.bsky.social The same happened here in a suburb of Chicago. We voted yes, but our township did not act until we voted in a new Democrat Board. Thank you also for connecting 'mental health' with homelessness.
“Rehabilitation or treatment” facilities at best demonstrates this administration’s gross incompetence related to causes of homelessness. At worst they’re going to disappear the homeless and poor like the fascist administration they are. Extremely alarming!
Is this a dystopia movie script ?
Hopefully this isn't a euphemism for another prison.
Hopefully
It is. There’s coded language for “imprisonment against their will” for indefinite amount of time.
No funds for social services and safety nets, but funds for incarceration.
And it includes involuntary treatment, which literally never works. 🙄
“Treatment centers”, mm-hmmm. I can just imagine the ‘quality of care’ that will provide.
Do they have any rights, or will ICE kidnap them?
And who owns those treatment centers????
concentration camps
What the!!!!!!!! True fascist move. Scary.
Republicans have NEVER been interested in funding treatment centers.
This is the most milquetoast reading of a very aggressive order that signals the rounding up and incarceration of the homeless. The order says a quarter million people. It also strips effective programs to combat homelessness and “assessing” those affected for sex threats, which to Trump means LGBT.
There is no integrity in American media now. Read news from outer countries - we have no reliable mainstream news here.
😡
I doubt there will be any treatment or rehabilitation at any of these places.
What treatment centers? Treatment for being poor?
They'll be forced labor camps, but also have on-site churches, and a condition for leaving is "converting to fundamentalist christianity".
To concentration camps. Trans folk will be foremost.
Serious question here, is this part of Project 2025 or is this just something that he’s pulling out of his ass?
He's talked about doing this before, and RFK Jr. loves the idea too.
A concentration camp by any other name is still a…
Treatment? For homelessness? That would be a home. Is he giving them homes? Rehabilitation for homelessness I guess is just a temporary apartment then. Sounds like good solutions!
Reagan was a pioneer of turning people out of institutions and onto the street. Conservatives loved it. Trump would never reverse that policy unless his corrupt businesses could skim off the top.
"Treatment or rehab facilities" like Alligator Auschwitz?
They need jobs and money, you fucking orange asshole.
truly do a thelma & louise do no do not do not seek or allow psychiatry because of homelessnessThelma & Louise before they get you Oakland comm coll sexist gasligfht bogus mental health care witchhunt psychiatry is a loaded gun trump psychiatry? i saw it coming doesnt protect though just keep going
"Treatment Centers"
Exactly- aka detention centers
the way Nazi Germany "treated" the mentally impaired
Sounds a lot like Germany in 1930's.
Prison, @newsweek.com It's called prison.
What is the "plan" to address causes of homelessness? With all the budget cuts, where will the funds come? www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...
The plan is to round up the homeless and incarcerate them in private prisons for the enrichment of his base and the eugenics goals of the Evangelicals. And it is clear the next step will be the disabled in general: they already stripped significant deaf programs. It is repellent and open eugenics.
How? Without funding? That wasn’t in his budget bill.
ICE money for detention centers.
Read the order. It includes HUD, DHS, etc. to reappropriate budget funds to do this as deemed necessary. They’ll pay to build shacks overnight like ICE in FL.
Reappropriating congressionally authorized funds isn’t a thing under the impoundment control act?
Right? After you cut funding to the veterans and every other public facility go suck an egg you buffoon . I know this is not going to happen you liar, show us the money for this, you could care less.
I think they mean what was done in Victorian England: the poor house.
That’s absolutely shocking!!! No way he’s going to help people!
You mean jail. They’ll go to jail.
Camps. Work camps. After all, "work will make you free" (sounds better in the original German)
Locking up everyone are they?
Where at guantanamo??
That executive order obviously will fail to help anyone more than the big ugly betrayal bill makes more of us destitute & homeless. The American Medical Association is dangerously unqualified to treat mental illness: they traditionally enable & promote narcissistic scapegoating & child-molestation.
Is that what we're calling concentration camps now? Treatment facilities.
And who is paying for these facilities and proper care in them? Oh....they're going to the tent cities to be tortured! Got it!
AKA ICE facilities to disappear.
Allegedly… I seriously doubt he’ll send them for treatment. They will probably send them somewhere to disappear.
How long will the poor be “rehabilitated”? Until they’re not poor anymore?
Let me guess are these the same prison pal owners he’s helped get rich? The same ones who’ve taken peoples rights and freedoms away and caged kidnapped victims like factory farm animals?
Expansion of the gulag…Hispanics, Muslims, and next up, the undesirables.
Why not take the same money and use it to build homes for people? (Rhetorical, not actual, question)
will those facilities also be in the Everglades?
Wonder if the “treatment centers” are out of the country?
I’ll Bet they’ll take them to states that need help with PICKING our fruits and Veggies and pay them SHIT 💩 for it
That actually sounds like a good idea. Did I just say that?😜🤦🏻♀️ 💔🤍💙
That seems way too thoughtful for Trump. Another distraction that will end up as something horrible?
Did you actually read it? They're talking about imprisoning homeless people.
I did read the part about "other institutions" and I figured that was exactly what he was up to. Thus--something horrible.
He’ll make sure the don’t survive. It’s amazing to me that this is happening again, a nightmare in the making.
AKA detention centers.
Let me guess -- Alcoholic Alcatraz?
Vast majority of homeless people don't need treatment and are not addicts. They need fucking homes.
Issue and Estimated Prevalence (%) Alcohol abuse~30–40% Drug abuse~25–30% Any substance use disorder ~33–50% Any current mental disorder ~76% (meta‑analysis across high‑income countries) Serious mental illness (SMI) ~25–30% (U.S. sheltered population) Any lifetime mental health symptoms 45–82%
This would be a good idea if they weren't getting deported to South Sudan.
What does that mean? Does he think all homeless are drug addicts?
Who owns the treatment centers? How much will they get paid from Trump’s federal piggy bank?
Treatment centers? Where are they? Who's staffing them? Will these be built by the feds, state or city? Will it be a form of mass incarceration?
"private prisons"
You kniw fucking well it's a work prison
Private prisons, because it is their goal to put as much public money into private hands as possible.
Based on how much Alligator Auschwitz is costing, it would be cheaper to just build them homes.
More like making some more money. It will be in privatized facilities soon.
Slave labor maybe
Farm labor specifically imo
I smell a workhouse!
Hmmm . . . reminds me of someone. Just can't quite put my finger on it . . . "Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?"
Give me a minute. Almost there…
That's my favorite version!
