Trump Prepares to Send Troops to San Francisco

“The Trump administration on Wednesday dispatched more than 100 federal agents, including from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to a U.S. Coast Guard base in the East Bay, marking the beginning of a long-threatened immigration crackdown on the region,” the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

“The Coast Guard and a source familiar with the operation confirmed the surge of federal agents, who are expected to begin arriving Thursday. The decision was seen as a likely precursor to President Donald Trump deploying National Guard troops to San Francisco, mirroring similar immigration operations in other cities around the nation.”
