The White House announced on Tuesday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is using its authority to impose a temporary eviction moratorium through the end of 2020, following an executive order by President Donald Trump.

“I want to make it unmistakably clear that I’m protecting people from evictions,” Trump said in a statement.
