This may have gone under the radar
but on 07/24/25 Crumb The 1st signed an Executive Order directing HUD, HHS and DOJ to re-establish and greatly expand civil commitment for mentally ill people and people with drug dependency. As part of that EO it is made clear that people who are simply poor and homeless are included in that push for civil commitment. The language in the EO repeatedly discusses these groups and what is to be done and it spells out the EO as applicable to mentally ill people and drug dependent people and then it says "or if they are homeless and living on the streets" etc.
The EO orders facilities to be obtained etc. and one of the scariest parts is that there are no guidelines or criteria for declaring someone "mentally ill" and because this classification is not tied by the words "and is homeless" it would appear to be instructing DOJ to be free to apply this label and cause civil commitment by it's own judgement. The language also talks about the length of civil commitment being "flexible". In other words it's up to a government staff of unknown qualifications if and when you ever get out.
So under the EO if they want to claim you are mentally ill then they can grab you for civil commitment to one of their "facilities". Also of note is that the EO directs DOJ to go after programs that states use for harm reduction from drug use. The EO pushes the idea of criminal facilitation of drug use. Apparently they mean things like "needle exchange" programs.
There is already a critical shortage of trained mental health professionals in most areas of the country and addressing that will take a lot of money and time. The alternative if one is going to suddenly "sweep the streets" so to speak and plunk hundreds of thousands of people into "new facilities" then the most likely outcome is a massive case overload to the existing mental health professionals and there is no doubt that the outcome is needless lengthy delays and a return to "warehousing" people. Worse even will be the inevitable "medicate them into submission" approach. We know from experience of the past that locking up a large number of people with mental health issues in crowded facilities results in outbursts and people end up in jail because of those incidents when all they wanted was to be left alone but by being placed in close conditions with others who may be acting out the conflicts are inevitable. So to keep peace in a facility many of the people end up in a "medicated" situation that may do little to address their problems and in fact is more about not having "incidents".
But to so many of the ignorant and authoritarian types the problems of homelessness mainly give them distress because they have to see it when they drive down a street, walk in a park or walk on a sidewalk. So to them they will "solve" the problem by removing it from their sight and locking people away. Their attitude is that they can have people enter one door and lock people away and if somehow the person gets to the point where they are "happy, shiny people" and are supposedly ready to walk right into a full time job and try to pay exorbitant bills like the rest of us then they can come out another door.
But that is not how it works for people with mental health issues and drug dependency. It is a complicated matter with many aspects and issues and can be a lifelong roller-coaster of attempts and failures and struggles to find the will to start again and the care to support those tries.

It reveals the depths of evil behind this madman and his lying henchmen, whether through threatening judges, or his final solution of labeling anyone unwell, or not white, as only fit to be abducted to concentration camps, or militarizing cities, or bombings, mass shootings, privatizing, banning medicines, food, shelter ... as Rachel has said on tv, Lord have mercy.
