Trump Cancels San Francisco Troop Deployment

President Trump called off a planned surge of federal law enforcement and National Guard forces into San Francisco after conversations with Mayor Daniel Lurie and tech executives including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. Mayor Lurie confirmed the call, said the city was making substantial progress, and welcomed continued partnerships with federal law enforcement while warning that military or militarized immigration enforcement would hinder recovery. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also confirmed the administration was stepping back from the deployment. Benioff had earlier endorsed sending the National Guard but faced heavy backlash and later apologized, while Huang has publicly supported Trump policies he says benefit the U.S. AI sector. The episode underscored the political influence of major tech executives and renewed legal and local pushback against using the military for domestic law enforcement.
