“A team of Trump administration officials toured a California facility once used by the Federal Aviation Administration this week as they searched for a potential site to relocate homeless people,” the Washington Post reports.

“President Trump has directed aides to launch a major crackdown on homelessness in California, spurring an effort across multiple government agencies to determine how to deal with sprawling tent camps on the streets of Los Angeles and other cities.”

generocity and wealth to attract people who can't afford the housing. It is a drama produced for show. "Look at those liberals squeal" it should be called. Same as his other production at the border. People will get hurt.

A meme often shared by the RWNJ'S are pictures of tent cities in California and commentary on how inept Democrats are for allowing this in a Democratic Party controlled state.

The use of the word crackdown varies by context. Your boss could "crackdown" on Internet use at work, etc.

However, the context here is government action and I think this definition applies and is concerning:

crackdown
(krækdaʊn )

Word forms: plural crackdowns

countable noun

A crackdown is strong official action that is taken to punish people who break laws.
...anti-government unrest that ended with the violent army crackdown.
Synonyms: clampdown, crushing, repression, suppression

resorting to strict or stricter measures of discipline or punishment

Pay strict attention to the terminology that this MisAdminstration uses. I also don't think we should shrug things off and assume anything. That mistake was made with Hitler, many times and in many ways.
