"You've got a mayor that works with us very well. He probably doesn't want me to talk about it much actually- but he has been cooperative and we have great conversations and talk quit often."
"Lurie has done a great job of going between the two, but he's also been lucky because nobody really criticized him when he did make the call and was 'nice' to the president."
President Donald Trump dismissed Kristi Noem as Department of Homeland Security secretary, though she will remain in the position through the end of the month. At a police conference following the announcement, Noem made unexpected comments about San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, describing him as cooperative and noting frequent conversations between them regarding federal law enforcement matters. She did not elaborate on specific details of this cooperation. Mayor Lurie's office declined to comment. In October, Lurie had successfully persuaded Trump to cancel planned immigration raids in the Bay Area. Trump announced his intention to nominate Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin as Noem's replacement, pending Senate confirmation.
