Trump Scraps Proposal to Send Government Forces to San Francisco Bay Area
The President has called off arrangements for a assignment of government forces to the San Francisco Bay Area that had provoked broad criticism from state officials and drawn activists gathering in the city centers.
Local Tension Over Potential National Operation
The locale had been on edge after news emerged that the leadership was ready to send more than 100 CBP and other federal agents to the US Coast Guard base in the East Bay, as part of a large-scale border control initiative.
Presidential Choice Following Discussions
However, the chief executive announced he would not proceed with a “surge” of national agents in the area after meeting with the city leader, Daniel Lurie, and Silicon Valley figures including Salesforce CEO and technology leader.
“In that conversation, the president assured me directly that he was canceling any plans for a government dispatch in this municipality,” the mayor commented in a announcement.
