"As federal immigration agents mobilized at a US Coast Guard base in the Bay Area, Trump credited San Francisco's new mayor, Daniel Lurie, for very nicely persuading him to stand down from a planned surge of federal law enforcement into the city. I spoke to Mayor Lurie last night and he asked, very nicely, that I give him a chance to see if he can turn it around, Trump wrote, without hurling an epithet or nickname."
"According to Trump, friends of mine who live in the area called to vouch for the substantial progress San Francisco had made since Lurie took the helm in January. Trump specifically cited great people such as Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce who ignited a firestorm when he suggested the president should send national guard troops to his native San Francisco before apologizing and backtracking, as well as Jensen Huang, the president and chief executive of Nvidia."
Federal immigration agents mobilized at a US Coast Guard base in the Bay Area amid plans for a federal law enforcement surge into San Francisco. President Trump said he spoke with Mayor Daniel Lurie, who asked for a chance to address the city's problems, and Trump agreed to stand down. Lurie said Trump initiated the call and asked nothing in return. Trump said local friends and business leaders, including Marc Benioff and Jensen Huang, vouched for progress since Lurie took office in January. Lurie, age 48 and heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, promised a reset for a city facing post-pandemic challenges, homelessness, addiction, corruption reports, and critical portrayals from political opponents.
