President Trump has signed two controversial executive orders, drawing strong backlash.

The first, issued July 24, aims to remove homeless people from the streets by easing legal barriers and promoting civil commitment. The order states that “shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings… will restore public order.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the move is about “removing vagrant criminals” and helping those “suffering from addiction or mental health struggles.”

However, critics say the order is harmful. The National Homelessness Law Center warned it would “make homelessness worse,” calling forced treatment “unethical, ineffective, and illegal.” They added, “The safest communities are those with the most housing and resources, not those that make it a crime to be poor or sick.”

Trump’s second order, titled *Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections*, requires voters to show documentary proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a passport or military ID. The administration says it’s meant to prevent fraud, but critics warn it could disenfranchise millions. The order also allows federal funding to be withheld from states that fail to comply.

Online users have voiced alarm, calling the actions “terrifying” and accusing Trump of hiding societal problems rather than solving them.
