Donald Trump Cancels Plans to Deploy Federal Troops to Bay Region
The President has abandoned preparations for a deployment of government forces to the Bay region that had sparked widespread condemnation from state officials and sent protesters gathering in the city centers.
Area Anxiety Over Reported National Deployment
The region had been anxious after reports circulated that the leadership was ready to send approximately 150 Customs and Border Protection and additional officers to the government installation in the East Bay, as part of a extensive immigration enforcement operation.
Leadership Decision Following Conversations
However, the president declared he would not proceed with a “surge” of government personnel in the area after speaking with the mayor, city leadership, and tech industry figures including Marc Benioff and technology leader.
“During our discussion, the president informed me directly that he was canceling all arrangements for a national operation in San Francisco,” city leadership said in a statement.
