Trump's Surprising Stand-Down on San Francisco Federal Deployment

President Donald Trump will not deploy federal agents to San Francisco, despite earlier plans. This decision followed a conversation with San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie. There were protests against the arrival of Border Patrol vehicles, emphasizing opposition to the federal crackdown on immigration.

In a surprising turn, President Donald Trump has canceled plans to deploy federal agents to San Francisco. The decision, confirmed by both Trump and San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, comes amid tension over federal interventions in Democratic-led cities.

Lurie expressed relief, citing San Francisco's prominence in technology and its alignment with national strength. Despite the halt, protests erupted as Border Patrol vehicles reached the Bay Area, marking opposition to Trump's immigration policies.

The move is part of Trump's broader strategy to address crime and illegal immigration, a step criticized by Democrats for causing fear and division in major cities like San Francisco.
