"We have work to do, and we would welcome continued partnerships with the FBI, [Drug Enforcement Administration], [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,] 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. We appreciate that the president understands that we are the global hub for technology, and when San Francisco is strong, our country is strong."
"Customs and Border Protection agents arrived in Oakland Thursday to begin using Alameda's Coast Guard Island as a "place of operation" for expanded immigration enforcement."
"Gov. Gavin Newsom called the move part of the "authoritarian playbook.""
San Francisco officials welcome continued partnerships with the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the U.S. Attorney to remove drugs and drug dealers from city streets. Officials warn that the presence of the military and militarized immigration enforcement will hinder economic and civic recovery. Customs and Border Protection agents arrived in Oakland to use Alameda's Coast Guard Island as a "place of operation" for expanded immigration enforcement. In other cities, National Guard deployments followed the arrival of additional immigration agents and sparked protests, providing justification for deploying federal military forces. President Trump said troops would come to San Francisco and floated invoking the Insurrection Act. Governor Gavin Newsom called the move part of the "authoritarian playbook."
