President Trump Abandons Plans to Send Federal Troops to San Francisco Bay Area
The US leader has abandoned arrangements for a dispatch of government forces to the San Francisco Bay Area that had provoked widespread condemnation from California leaders and drawn demonstrators gathering in the city centers.
Regional Tension Over Reported National Operation
The region had been anxious after information circulated that the administration was prepared to send more than 100 border control and other federal agents to the US Coast Guard base in the East Bay, as part of a major border control initiative.
Executive Choice Following Discussions
However, the president declared he would not move forward with a “surge” of federal forces in the region after meeting with the local official, city leadership, and Silicon Valley leaders including Salesforce CEO and technology leader.
“In that conversation, the chief executive assured me explicitly that he was terminating all arrangements for a national operation in San Francisco,” Lurie said in a release.
