"We're going to go to San Francisco. The difference is, I think they want us in San Francisco, Trump said. San Francisco was truly one of the great cities of the world, and then 15 years ago, it went wrong. It went woke."
"This is no different than the arsonist putting out the fire, Newsom said. We need to call that out and we cannot play his game."
More than 100 federal agents, including some from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, prepared to stage at Coast Guard Island near Alameda and Oakland. The deployment follows President Trump’s repeated threats to target San Francisco and his stated plans to send National Guard troops to several U.S. cities. California leaders reacted with alarm, characterizing the tactics as intimidation that floods cities with masked agents to foment fear and can be followed by military forces. Governor Newsom called the approach authoritarian and urged resistance to such tactics. Oakland officials emphasized sanctuary-city protections and local public-safety solutions rather than federal military presence.
