The Trump administration has announced plans to deploy military troops to Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, citing crime emergencies, despite falling crime rates, and has threatened to send troops to other cities, sparking criticism from the ACLU and state governors.
SFPD and the Sheriff’s Department spent over $350,000 responding to three anti-ICE protests in June, drawing criticism for deploying surveillance drones and failing to protect demonstrators from individuals falsely claiming to be ICE agents, violating the city’s sanctuary city policies.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has denounced President Trump’s actions as a slide into authoritarianism, while California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a lawsuit against Trump, arguing that the federalization of the California National Guard without the state’s consent is unconstitutional.
