San Francisco Bay Area braces for Trump’s immigration crackdown
AI Summary
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie confirmed that President Donald Trump had cancelled plans for a federal deployment to the city amid reports of hundreds of protesters taking to the streets. Hundreds of protesters gathered at the US Coast Guard base in Alameda, across the Bay from San Francisco, singing hymns and carrying signs opposing immigration enforcement. The Trump administration had sent over 100 Customs and Border Protection agents to the area as part of a large-scale immigration enforcement plan. Lurie spoke with the president late Wednesday evening, stating that he told Trump that a federal deployment would negatively affect the city's recovery. California Governor Gavin Newsom called Trump's moves "right out of the dictator's handbook", while Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee emphasized that public safety comes from local solutions, not federal military occupation.
