"Late last night, I received a phone call from the President of the United States. I told him the same thing I told our residents: San Francisco is on the rise. Visitors are coming back, buildings are getting leased and purchased, and workers are coming back to the office. We have work to do, and we would welcome continued partnerships with the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Attorney to get drugs and drug dealers off our streets."
"San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie says that President Donald Trump called him and told him he was "calling off any plans for a federal deployment" in the city. Lurie posted on social media Thursday morning, despite federal agents having already arrived in the Bay Area. Federal agents were met by protesters as they arrived at Coast Guard Island in Alameda. Lurie says he also spoke with Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem Thursday morning and she reaffirmed what President Trump said."
President Donald Trump called Mayor Daniel Lurie and called off plans for a federal deployment in San Francisco. Federal agents had already arrived in the Bay Area and were met by protesters upon arrival at Coast Guard Island in Alameda. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem reaffirmed the decision to cancel a federal deployment. Uncertainty remains about the federal agents' mission in the Bay Area. Lurie emphasized that San Francisco is recovering with returning visitors, leased and purchased buildings, and workers coming back to offices, and he welcomed partnerships with federal law enforcement to address drugs and dealers while opposing militarized enforcement that would hinder recovery.
