WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said late Wednesday that his administration would issue a notice of environmental violation against the city of San Francisco because of what he described as its homelessness problem.

“They’re in serious violation,” Trump said, adding, “They have to clean it up. We can’t have our cities going to hell.”“To be clear, San Francisco has a combined sewer system, one of the best and most effective in the country, that ensures that all debris that flow into storm drains are filtered out at the city’s wastewater treatment plants,” Breed said in a statement Wednesday night. “No debris flow out into the bay or the ocean.

The president has indicated for weeks that he is angry and frustrated by what he sees as an out-of-control homelessness problem in San Francisco and Los Angeles — two heavily Democratic cities run by politicians who have been regularly critical of Trump. “You can’t have what’s happening — where police officers are getting sick just by walking the beat,” Trump told Carlson. “I mean, they’re getting actually very sick, where people are getting sick, where the people living there living in hell, too.”

It was also unclear what specific laws or regulations the EPA would cite, or what actions the agency would demand from the city’s leaders in order to avoid the citation.City officials have a long-standing program of distributing clean needles in an effort to reduce infectious diseases like HIV. “Donald Trump is a slumlord who has spent his presidency pushing people into homelessness by taking away health care, food assistance and affordable housing funds,” Scott Wiener, a Democratic state senator from San Francisco, said Tuesday as the president arrived in the state for a series of fundraisers and a trip to the border. “He has no credibility on housing and homelessness.”
