AI Summary
Main Idea: Trump said he is backing off a planned federal troop deployment to San Francisco after speaking with Mayor Daniel Lurie and facing pushback from local leaders and tech executives.
Key Points:
- Trump said the federal government was set to “surge” San Francisco on Saturday, but he canceled the plan after hearing the city was making progress on crime.
- Lurie said he told Trump that San Francisco is improving and wants help from federal law enforcement, not military or militarized immigration forces.
- The move came after backlash from Bay Area leaders and tech figures, including a reversal from Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who said he no longer thinks the National Guard is needed.
- Trump had previously threatened to use the Insurrection Act and send troops to San Francisco, while California leaders warned they would sue over any such action.
