"I'm going to be strongly recommending at the request of government officials, which is always nice, that you start looking at San Francisco, Trump said during a White House event on Wednesday, joined by FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi. I think we can make San Francisco there's one of our great cities 10 years ago, 15 years ago. Now it's a mess, and we have great support in San Francisco."
"Trump has moved to deploy US troops and federal law enforcement officials to major cities to target crime and counter demonstrations against his deportations of undocumented migrants even in the face of legal challenges. Trump has deployed National Guard personnel to Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Memphis, Chicago and Portland, claiming that Democratic state and local officials have failed to protect citizens and allowed violence to spiral out of control."
The administration plans to expand federal crime operations to San Francisco, proposing deployments of federal law enforcement and National Guard personnel. US troops, federal agents, and National Guard units have been sent to cities including Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Memphis, Chicago, and Portland to target violent crime and counter demonstrations linked to deportation actions. The effort included Operation Summer Heat, which prioritized arrests of violent offenders across all 50 states. Several deployments face legal challenges, with at least one deployment ruled unconstitutional. Critics call the actions politically motivated and note violent crime has fallen from post-pandemic highs in some cities.
