"You maybe have some challenges in San Francisco just because of your state laws and local laws. Although you've got a mayor that works with us very well. He probably doesn't want me to talk about it a lot, actually. But he has been cooperative and we have great conversations and talk quite often."
"The vice president of the SFPOA, an organization that by law is not supposed to cooperate with ICE, asked how the locals could work better with the feds-and the person who until today oversaw ICE said that the mayor of San Francisco, who by law is not supposed to do anything to cooperate with ICE, was very cooperative."
Mayor Daniel Lurie's phone call with Donald Trump last fall prompted questions about its contents, which the Mayor's Office refused to disclose citing attorney-client privilege. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem recently revealed that Lurie has been cooperative with federal authorities and maintains frequent conversations with her. This disclosure contradicts San Francisco's local laws prohibiting city cooperation with ICE. The San Francisco Police Officers Association vice president asked Noem how local agencies could better assist federal efforts, and Noem praised Lurie's cooperation. Questions now arise about the extent of collaboration between City Hall, the SFPD, and the Department of Homeland Security.
