Las Vegas residents sound alarm on crime-ridden encampments as Trump pushes zero tolerance homelessness plan
Democratic bill would block feds from clearing homeless encampments on public land
An executive order signed by President Donald Trump is aiming to combat crime involving homelessness throughout the country, with cities such as Las Vegas seeing a crisis surrounding encampments overtaking communities and crippling the local area.
Sin City has seen an uptick in homelessness throughout the community, with a 20% increase within Clark County in 2024, according to the most recent data from the Southern Nevada Homeless Continuum of Care (SNH CoC).
"It's progressively gotten worse and worse and worse," Robert Marbut, the former federal homelessness czar under Trump’s first administration, told Fox News Digital. "And there was sort of an idea that they tried a lot of gimmicks in the beginning."
