Trump Calls Off San Francisco Troop Deployment
The News
President Trump said Thursday he would not deploy federal troops to San Francisco, reversing course on plans to implement anticrime and immigration enforcement in the Bay Area.
Trump in a post on Truth Social said friends of his called him to ask him not to go forward with the surge after arguing the city’s Democratic Mayor Daniel Lurie “was making substantial progress.”
The president said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff were among “great people” who urged him not to deploy the National Guard to the city.
He added that he spoke to Lurie on Wednesday evening, saying the mayor asked him “very nicely” to give him a chance to turn the situation around.
Timeline
The president’s public comments came shortly after Lurie revealed in a post on social platform X that Trump called off plans to deploy federal forces during a phone call.
Reactions
“I told him I think he is making a mistake because we can do it much faster, and remove the criminals that the law does not permit him to move,” Trump said. “I told him, ‘It’s an easier process if we do it, faster, stronger, and safer, but let’s see how you do?’”
“In that conversation, the president told me clearly that he was calling off any plans for a federal deployment in San Francisco. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem reaffirmed that direction in our conversation this morning,” the mayor wrote.

Reports surfaced earlier this week that the administration dispatched 100 immigration agents to the city with groups slated to arrive on Thursday. Lurie and Democratic officials in California slammed the move.
