Trump Calls Off the Federal Surge on San Francisco After a Call With Lurie

President Trump dropped a planned Saturday surge of federal agents into San Francisco after a late-night call in which Mayor Daniel Lurie told him the city was on the rise; Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reaffirmed it the next morning.

Mayor Daniel Lurie said the president phoned him late on the night of 22 October and "told me clearly that he was calling off any plans for a federal deployment in San Francisco", and that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reaffirmed it on the morning of the 23rd^[1]
Lurie told Trump he welcomed partnerships with the FBI, DEA, ATF and U.S. Attorney against drug dealing, but that "the military and militarized immigration enforcement in our city will hinder our recovery"^[1]
In a Truth Social post Trump wrote that "Great people like Jensen Huang, Marc Benioff, and others" had called him, and "Therefore we will not surge San Francisco on Saturday"^[3]
About 100 federal agents had been sent to a military base in the East Bay the afternoon before, and protesters blocked the entrance to Coast Guard Island in Alameda before dawn on 23 October^[3][4]
Trump said he told Lurie "he is making a mistake, because we can do it much faster", and ended his post "Stay tuned!"^[2]
Gov. Gavin Newsom had been prepared to sue over a possible National Guard deployment^[3]
