Congress Might Give ICE the Power to Go After Shoplifters

A bill intended to halt the supposed threat of “organized retail crime” would put ICE in charge of the federal response.

by Sam Biddle
August 7 2026, 7:17 a.m. ET

"To counter the purported national scourge of 'organized retail crime,' a bill moving through Congress would deliver the Department of Homeland Security unprecedented policing powers, granting even more authority to what experts say is an already lawless ICE."

#Trump pledged to house 6,000 #HomelessVets. His budget funds zero

NPR | By Quil Lawrence
Published May 28, 2026

Excerpt: "Vets' housing construction and delays on the campus go back through four presidential administrations. LA veterans groups won two lawsuits in the past 15 years mandating that the VA immediately build more housing on the campus. The Biden administration appealed a 2024 court ruling and lost. So it shocked veterans groups when the Trump administration appealed that ruling again in February, despite having declared its own intention to build. And when the proposed budget finally came out in April, it included zero dollars to build new housing for any of the 6,000 veterans the president had promised."

How a mobile outreach program connects Maine's homeless veterans to resources

By Jacob Murphy , July 23, 2026

"Driving past Veterans Memorial Park in Lewiston, you may have noticed a large, inflatable eagle that wasn't there before. That's one of the ways organizers are hoping to grab the attention of veterans in the community.

"The Homeless Veterans Mobile Stand Down is a yearly tradition in Maine put together by the Maine Bureau of Veterans' Services in partnership with the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs. Every year it makes stops in multiple cities and towns to connect homeless veterans with resources.

" 'Veterans, like anyone else, can fall across hard times,' said Ryan Lorrain, with the Maine Bureau of Veterans' Services. 'We want to make sure that we're there, providing them with the resources to lift them back up.'

"Several community organizations set up at the event. On Wednesday, there was free food, haircuts and services connecting homeless veterans to housing and jobs.

"According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Maine is the second best state when it comes to providing shelter for homeless veterans, but the number of homeless veterans has been increasing, up 12% from 2024 and 2025. "

#Trump is pushing to institutionalize #homeless people. That may include #veterans

by Quil Lawrence, June 25, 2026

Excerpt: "More than 30,000 U.S. military veterans are homeless, according to the latest government data from an annual one-night 'point in time count.' That number is down significantly in the past decade, which most experts credit to a straightforward combination of robust funding and a philosophy focused on offering housing without prerequisites, called housing first.

"While the Trump administration has promised new housing for vets, President Trump also signed an executive order last year titled 'Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets,' which leans heavily toward institutionalizing #HomelessPeople against their will. This winter, NPR obtained slides describing a proposed #VeteransAdministration plan called '#SafeHarbor,' which would include veterans in that shift to involuntary treatment. Then, in March, the VA put out a memorandum of understanding with the Justice Department about state court guardianship for veterans." [!!!]
