Trump admin updates: Trump teases 'big day' at White House

There were over 1,450 federal law enforcement and National Guard participants in Tuesday night's operation as part of a surge in forces in Washington, D.C., according to a White House official.

Those forces included 750 D.C. Metro Police officers who were "uniformed, marked as patrol, and directly assigned as anti-crime officers," the White House official said. That was in addition to the federal law enforcement who had been previously mobilized in the district.

The White House Official said that there were about 30 National Guard troops on the ground last night. The White House official said that forces made 43 arrests last night, which is nearly twice the amount they made the night before. The official said that 19 inter-agency teams have "deployed throughout all seven districts in DC to promote public safety and arrest violent offenders."

The surge in federal law enforcement has yielded more than 100 total arrests since it began on August 7, according to a White House official. The official said the charges have included one homicide charge, seven narcotics charges, 33 firearms charges, 10 warrants, 23 charges against undocumented immigrants and 29 other charges. The official adds they have seized 24 firearms since operations began.

As President Donald Trump vows to rid D.C. of homeless encampments, individuals who do not comply could be subject to fines or jail time, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, referencing D.C. laws.

"For far too long, these laws have been completely ignored, and the homelessness problem has ravaged the city," she said during Tuesday's briefing. "Homeless individuals will be given the option to leave their encampment, to be taken to a homeless shelter, to be offered addiction or mental health services -- and if they refuse, they will be susceptible to fines or to jail time."

After Trump said this week that homeless individuals will be given places to stay "far from the capital," Leavitt said the administration is also still looking into that.

"We're exploring how we could do that," she said, adding that homeless shelters, addiction and mental health services, or jail "are the options on the table right now."

President Donald Trump is weighing a possible lawsuit against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at her briefing on Tuesday.

"He's considering a lawsuit and I won't speak or on it any further. I will allow the president to do that himself," Leavitt said.

Earlier Tuesday, Trump threatened legal action against Powell on his conservative social media platform.

"The damage he has done by always being Too Late is incalculable," Trump wrote. "Fortunately, the economy is sooo good that we've blown through Powell and the complacent Board. I am, though, considering allowing a major lawsuit against Powell to proceed because of the horrible, and grossly incompetent, job he has done in managing the construction of the Fed Buildings. Three Billion Dollars for a job that should have been a $50 Million Dollar fix up. Not good!"
