Trump wants to evict homeless from Washington and send them 'far from the capital'

WASHINGTON (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 White House declined to explain what legal authority Trump would use to evict people from Washington. 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.
