US EditionTrump eyes San Francisco for next round of National Guard deployment as legal battles over troops intensify in other cities
President Trump claims he has 'unquestioned power' to deploy troops to San Francisco under the Insurrection Act amid disputes with Democratic officials and ongoing legal challenges.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump warned National Guard deployments would target San Francisco, California and suggested invoking the Insurrection Act, saying the city `went woke` 15 years ago.
- Framing his rationale, Trump argued San Francisco’s crime is out of control despite a 20-year low and blamed Democratic officials for refusing federal law enforcement cooperation.
- Previously, he deployed troops to Memphis and pursued similar moves in Chicago and Portland, while California state officials, led by Newsom, halted Guard use earlier this year and vowed resistance.
- That stance raises immediate legal stakes because District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said last week she `won't hesitate` to press charges if federal troops break local laws.
