Encampment Updates: Continued clearings at MLK Library, downtown

The District closed 19 homeless encampments in October. In 2026, the city has cleared about 160 encampments. On Oct. 20, the District cleared its largest encampment of the month, impacting at least five residents at the Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Memorial Library.

Hoyas Vanquish Hornets in Season Opener

The Georgetown University women’s basketball team beat the Delaware State University Hornets 84-47 at home Nov. 2, earning their first win in their first game of the year. The game kicked off the season for Georgetown (1-0), who looked to build on a mediocre showing last year, which ended with a 14-17 record and an eighth-place finish in the Big East Conference. So far, so good for the Hoyas, who took it to Delaware State (0-1) and outscored the Hornets by nearly double. They looked sharp from the 3-point and free-throw lines, and their defense was notably strong. As they play tougher teams this season, Georgetown must improve its field goal percentage.
