The 'Surge' of Troops May Not Come to San Francisco, but the City Is Ready Anyway
""Great people like Jensen Huang, Marc Benioff, and others have called saying that the future of San Francisco is great. They want to give it a 'shot.' Therefore, we will not surge San Francisco on Saturday. Stay tuned!""
""The Bay is not going to sit quietly,""
Federal law enforcement and the National Guard prepared for deployments to multiple U.S. cities, with plans to send agents to San Francisco. Local resistance groups coordinated with activists nationwide, organizing thousands of volunteers through Signal, Zoom, and social media to plan protests and spread alerts. Mayor Daniel Lurie contacted the president and secured a cancellation of the planned Saturday surge of federal agents, a decision the president confirmed by name-checking business leaders. Federal agents staged at Coast Guard Island drew protesters who boxed in and clashed with the contingent. Grassroots organizing continued, including a Bay Resistance webinar capped at 5,000 attendees.
