“President Donald Trump said Thursday that he has called off plans to send a ‘surge’ of federal personnel into San Francisco this weekend to target crime, an announcement that came after he had a private conversation with Mayor Daniel Lurie. Trump made his announcement on social media, saying ‘friends’ who live in the city, including Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang and Salesforce chief executive Marc Benioff, asked him not to go forward with the operation. … The resolution appeared, for now, to decrease mounting tensions among San Francisco leaders and the Trump administration, which has targeted Democratic-led cities for increased [ICE gang activity], including Los Angeles, Washington, Boston and Chicago. Trump has sent National Guard troops to several cities, while others, including Chicago and Portland, have won temporary reprieves in court against the president’s Guard deployments.” (10/23/25)
