"Nobody knows for sure if Donald Trump is really going to send the National Guard into San Francisco. He probably doesn't even know himself, since he changes his mind minute by minute. But if the feds arrive to terrorize this city, I fear that the Lurie Administration is not ready. At Question Time today, Sup. Jackie Fielder asked Mayor Daniel Lurie what he was doing to prepare for a situation where San Francisco is essentially occupied by armed federal troops."
"Our local law enforcement already has longstanding partnerships with state and federal law enforcement to shut down open-air drug markets through our Drug Market Agency Coordination Center. To continue getting fentanyl off the street, we would welcome stronger coordination with the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Attorney to execute targeted operations, arrest drug dealers, and disrupt drug markets and multinational cartels."
Uncertainty exists about whether the federal government will deploy the National Guard to San Francisco. Concern arises that the Lurie Administration may be unprepared to manage an armed federal presence and its consequences. Supervisor Jackie Fielder directly questioned Mayor Daniel Lurie about preparations to protect civil liberties and maintain essential services if federal forces occupy the city. Lurie emphasized existing partnerships with state and federal law enforcement and welcomed coordinated targeted operations to remove fentanyl. Lurie stated the National Guard lacks authority to arrest and that coordination with federal partners is needed to disrupt drug markets.
