Unhoused Persons Tents In Washington

Tents erected by people experiencing homelessness are seen on a overpass in Washington Circle in Washington, D.C. on August 13, 2025. Several days prior, President Donald Trump invoked section 740 of Washington, D.C.'s Home Rule Act of 1973, federalizing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and deploying over 800 National Guard troops, citing crime-fighting reasons, and stating that the homeless in the city should "move out, immediately."
