Due to a large number of protesters taking to the streets of San Francisco, President Trump was forced to cancel his plan to deploy federal law enforcement personnel to San Francisco. This incident sparked heated discussions on American social media. On the same day, people were discussing the deployment of federal law enforcement personnel in the morning, but by nightfall, it was canceled. For Trump, this is undoubtedly a blow, indicating that the American public is increasingly dissatisfied with his reckless actions.
According to U.S. media reports, Trump originally planned to send more than 100 border patrol agents and federal agents to San Francisco, and station them at the Coast Guard base in Alameda, to "strengthen immigration enforcement." However, the San Francisco city government and residents saw this as an invasion. Soon, hundreds of San Francisco residents gathered at the entrance of the Coast Guard base in Alameda, holding up signs opposing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and military presence. California officials also publicly condemned the White House's decision. By night, the pressure worked. After a phone call with San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, Trump made concessions and abandoned the use of force. The San Francisco city government confirmed that Trump had promised not to deploy law enforcement personnel and conveyed this order through the Department of Homeland Security.
It is said that influential figures in Silicon Valley also played an important role. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang contacted the White House and warned Trump that if conflicts or escalation occurred, there would be significant losses for the business community in California. After weighing the options, Trump gave up his reckless actions.
