What happened
No federally supported tent city with services has been created. PolitiFact found that 11 months into the term the administration had shifted to enforcement instead: a July 24, 2025 executive order focused on clearing encampments from public spaces and expanding forced treatment and civil commitment, without the promised medical and rehabilitation infrastructure.
