"Yeah I would, Trump replied. Well, they used to have them, and you never saw people like we had, you know, they used to have them, he added. And what happened is states like New York and California that had them, New York had a lot of them. They released them all into society because they couldn't afford it. You know, it's massively expensive."
"But we had, they were all over New York. I remember when I was growing up, Creedmoor. They had a place, Creedmoor, they had a lot of them, Bellevue, and they were closed by a certain governor. And I remember when they did, it was a long time ago, and I said they didn't release these people? And they did. They released them into society, and that's what you have. It's a rough, it's a rough situation."
"The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY, Trump wrote. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital."
President Donald Trump said he would consider reopening insane asylums as part of an expanded anti-crime crackdown. He asserted that states like New York and California closed large institutions and released patients into society because states could not afford them. He named facilities such as Creedmoor and Bellevue and said many were shuttered by governors after long histories. He said deinstitutionalization contributed to visible homelessness and public safety problems and called institutional care massively expensive. He demanded that homeless encampments be cleared immediately and said shelter would be provided far from the Capitol. The remarks preceded federal moves involving D.C. police and National Guard deployment.
