How Trump's D.C. takeover criminalizes homelessness

20 Aug 2025

Description

On August 11, President Trump announced his intention to "rescue" the nation's capital.

On this episode, we're diving into what it means to criminalize homelessness, what it looks like when police officers are used to solve social problems, and what this D.C. takeover might portend for the rest of the country.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
