WASHINGTON (AA) - San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said Thursday that President Donald Trump has decided against deploying federal forces to the city in California.
"Late last night, I received a phone call from the President of the United States," Lurie wrote on US social media company X.
"We appreciate that the president understands that we are the global hub for technology, and when San Francisco is strong, our country is strong. In that conversation, the president told me clearly that he was calling off any plans for a federal deployment in San Francisco," he wrote.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem "reaffirmed that direction" in a separate call Thursday morning, Lurie added.
His remarks came after reports said the Trump administration is preparing to send more than 100 federal agents to the San Francisco Bay Area for a large-scale immigration enforcement operation.
