""We're gonna go to San Francisco," Trump said. "The difference is I think they want us in San Francisco. San Francisco was truly one of the great cities of the world, and then 15 years ago it went wrong, it went woke...But we're gonna go to San Francisco and we're gonna make it great. We're gonna make it great. It'll be great again. San Francisco is a great city. It won't be great if it keeps going like this.""
"SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- President Donald Trump is now doubling down on sending National Guard troops to San Francisco, saying he has the "unquestioned power" to do it. President Trump made those comments in a Fox News interview Sunday. "Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act. 50% of the presidents almost have used that," Trump also said in the interview."
President Donald Trump said he can deploy National Guard troops to San Francisco and invoked the Insurrection Act, claiming he has "unquestioned power." He criticized the city's direction, promising to "make it great" again. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie recently noted crime is at historic lows. Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of Berkeley Law, said the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 prohibits using federal troops for domestic law enforcement and cited three federal judges who found such troop use impermissible in Los Angeles, Portland and Chicago. The legality question may proceed to the Supreme Court as a related request concerns troop use in Chicago.
