Trump Reverses Federal Force Plans in San Francisco After Talks with Tech Leaders, Mayor

President Donald Trump reversed his plan to deploy federal forces, including National Guard troops, to San Francisco after discussions with prominent tech leaders Jensen Huang of Nvidia and Marc Benioff of Salesforce, as well as Mayor Daniel Lurie. Trump credited these conversations for his decision to hold off on the federal surge, emphasizing his willingness to reconsider if the city's crime issues do not improve. Mayor Lurie has focused on local public safety initiatives, highlighting a 26% drop in overall crime and record lows in car break-ins, while advocating for collaboration with federal agencies without militarized enforcement. Despite the federal agents' presence near the city and protests against immigration raids, Trump's decision marks a rare reprieve for the Democrat-led city. However, local officials and activists remain cautious, preparing for possible future enforcement actions, while political tensions persist between federal authorities and San Francisco leadership. The situation reflects a complex interplay between federal law enforcement, local governance, and community responses in addressing public safety and immigration enforcement challenges.
