""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," Lurie said in the emailed statement."
"Lurie also reiterated past statements that he would "welcome" partnerships with federal agencies including the "FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Attorney to get drugs and drug dealers off our streets, but having the military and militarized immigration enforcement in our city will hinder our recovery.""
Mayor Daniel Lurie said President Trump called off any planned federal deployment to the San Francisco Bay Area following a late Wednesday phone call. Lurie told the president that San Francisco is "on the rise." Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem reaffirmed the decision in a morning conversation. Lurie said he would welcome partnerships with federal agencies including the FBI, DEA, ATF, and the U.S. Attorney to target drugs and drug dealers. Lurie said a military presence and militarized immigration enforcement would hinder the city's recovery. The situation remains a developing story.
