"SF residents still don't know what happened on that phone call where Mayor Lurie talked Donald Trump out of sending federal troops into SF, and a panel of SF's Sunshine Ordinance Task Force says Lurie is breaking the law. It is almost certainly the greatest political win of SF Mayor Daniel Lurie's nearly one year in office that he with an assist from a couple billionaires somehow talked Donald Trump out of sending federal troops to SF in a mysterious phone call the night of October 22."
"Federal agents were already at our doorstep, likely with National Guard troops not far behind, and whatever Lurie said, he certainly saved San Francisco plus also Oakland and Alameda County from their own ICE and Border Patrol invasions as well. Though it has been something of a mini-controversy that Lurie has refused to share any details of that call, even though members of the public have filed public records requests for the call's details."
"This ruling was just from a three-member subcommittee of the task force, and the full Sunshine Ordinance Task Force has not yet voted on the matter. But that three-member committee ruled unanimously that Lurie's office is maintaining inappropriate standards for withholding privileged documents, and urged Lurie's office to produce all non-privileged documents related to that phone call."
Mayor Daniel Lurie placed a private phone call with President Donald Trump on October 22 and persuaded Trump not to deploy federal troops to San Francisco. Federal and likely National Guard forces were poised to enter the region, and the call prevented potential ICE and Border Patrol actions in San Francisco, Oakland, and Alameda County. Members of the public filed public records requests seeking details of the call. A three-member subcommittee of the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force unanimously found the mayor's office is improperly withholding non-privileged documents and urged production. Lurie's office continues to cite attorney-client privilege and refuses to release the records.
