WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump will not deploy federal agents to San Francisco, the California city's mayor said on Thursday, citing a call with the Republican leader.
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said Trump called him Wednesday night to tell him he was calling off any plans for a federal deployment. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem "reaffirmed that direction" in a separate call Thursday morning, Lurie said in an X post.
"We have work to do, and we would welcome continued partnerships with 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," Lurie said.
"We appreciate that the president understands that we are the global hub for technology, and when San Francisco is strong, our country is strong."
