Trump Calls Off Federal Troop Deployment to San Francisco Amid Backlash
In a series of developments surrounding the potential federal crackdown in the San Francisco Bay Area, President Trump has decided to cancel plans to send federal troops to the region. This decision follows discussions with local leaders, including San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and prominent tech figures, who expressed strong opposition to the deployment. Protests have erupted in the area, with reports of clashes between demonstrators and federal agents at the Alameda Coast Guard Station. In light of the situation, local officials have urged calm and are prepared for any possible federal actions while celebrating the halting of the immigration raids that sparked the protests. Governor Gavin Newsom has also warned that legal action would be taken if federal troops were sent into the city, highlighting the contentious atmosphere around this issue.
