JAKARTA - President of the United States (US) Donald Trump expelled homeless or homeless people from the US capital, Washington DC.
He promised a place to live for the homeless in DC. However, the location will not be in the middle of the city.
"The homeless must move, IMMEDIATELY," Trump wrote on his social media website, Truth Social, quoted from the BBC, Monday 11 August.
The order was reiterated after Trump signed instructions for federal law enforcement officials to arrest homeless people on Washington DC roads last month.
"We will give you a place to live, but stay away from the capital city. The criminals, you don't need to move. We will imprison you where you should be," Trump continued.
In his upload on Truth Social, Trump also includes a number of photos of homeless tents with garbage scattered around him.
"There will be no 'good unity.' We want the capital back. Thank you for your attention to this issue!" Trump stressed.

Details regarding Trump's order in DC are not clear. However, in his speech in 2022, Trump had suggested moving the homeless to "high quality" tents on cheap land outside the city, as well as providing access to bathrooms and professional medical personnel.
Meanwhile, on Friday last week, Trump ordered federal agencies, including the US Park Police, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the FBI, and the US Marshal Service, to go to Washington DC to take action on alleged crimes that he deems "out of control".
A day later, a White House official told National Public Radio there were about 450 federal officers deployed to DC on Saturday night.
Trump's crackdown on homeless people in Washington DC after a 19-year-old former US Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) employee became a victim of an unknown attack by an alleged car grab attempt in Washington DC.
Trump then vented his frustration with the incident on social media, posting a photo of the victim covered in blood.
However, the Mayor of the District of Columbia in Washington DC, Muriel Bowser, said Trump's order was launched behind data on the decline in crime rates in DC by 2025.
"It is true that we experienced a terrible spike in crime in 2023, but this is not 2023," Bowser told MSNBC on Sunday, August 10.
