SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — President Donald Trump announced that he called off a “surge” planned for San Francisco utilizing federal immigration agents.
Mayor Daniel Lurie, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang helped to convince Trump that SF deserved more time to crack down on crime using city and state law enforcement. “They are doing a good job, so we are holding off that surge,” the president said.
Thursday morning, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents arrived at Coast Guard Island Alameda. Agents were met by hundreds of protesters who tried to block access to the only bridge connecting Oakland to the island.
