During a briefing at the White House Tuesday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed options for the homeless.
“Seventy homeless encampments have been removed by the U.S. Park Police,” Leavitt revealed. “There are only two homeless encampments remaining in D.C. federal parks under the National Park Service’s jurisdiction, and the removal of those two remaining camps is scheduled for this week.”
“If they refuse [removal], they [homeless] will be susceptible to fines or to jail time. These are pre-existing laws that are already on the books. They have not been enforced,” she continued, adding there are options to go to shelters or seek substance abuse treatment.
