SAN FRANCISCO — California’s homeless crisis came under a federal magnifying glass Tuesday, with President Donald Trump bemoaning conditions in San Francisco and Los Angeles as HUD Secretary Ben Carson downplayed fears of a law enforcement crackdown.
Reports that the Trump administration was formulating a sweeping action on homelessness in California, including potentially prodding homeless people off of streets and into federal facilities, set off a backlash from the state’s Democratic elected officials. On Monday, Trump administration officials said policing could play a role in ameliorating the crisis, though they eschewed details on what that could look like.
“The local government should back the police up,” Carson said, adding that “people can make it very clear without having a big policy change whether they support law enforcement.”
