The Growing Influence of the Cicero Institute

Дата публикации: 26-08-2026 17:40:40

Here is more from the Washington Post:[Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale] started the Cicero Institute, a think tank dedicated to bringing
market-based solutions to social issues like criminal justice, health
care and homelessness, but the group’s ideas got virtually no traction
in solid-blue California. In Texas, Lonsdale urged the Cicero team to go
bigger, to target the toughest societal problems with “bold” solutions
that challenged the status quo.  Over
the next year, the group developed a controversial policy proposal:
Cities should make it a crime to sleep outside, forcing people off the
street, placing them in temporary shelters or treatment facilities, and
sending them to jail if they refused. No
one paid much attention to Cicero at the time. The proposal ran counter
to more than 15 years of federal and state policy, which held that
forced treatment rarely works and that getting society’s most vulnerable
into long-term housing should come before any intervention. But
five years later, Cicero’s vision has spread across the country. It is
now the official policy of the Trump administration, and versions of
Cicero’s proposal are law in 15 states, with 11 making it a crime to
sleep outside. Scott
Centorino, who coordinated the White House’s homeless policy, told The
Washington Post that Cicero was a critical partner in driving the
administration’s position. “They are the best group out there with a lot
of knowledge at the state level,” said Centorino, who left government a
few months ago and is now a senior fellow at Cicero. The article notes that across the US, Cicero has worked behind the scenes to shepherd 214 pieces of legislation into law in 29 states since 2021, on issues related to public safety, education, artificial intelligence, and health care.It also notes that Cicero experts now hold weekly calls with White House officials to share lessons from their victories in US states. Here is what the New York Times has to say about the influence of Cicero.
