SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The Trump administration is sending more than 100 federal agents to San Francisco, KRON4.com has learned. The news, which was first reported in the San Francisco Chronicle, was confirmed by KRON4 network partner, NewsNation.
According to a NewsNation source, the agents could arrive as early as Thursday. The contingent of federal officers includes members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.
They have been dispatched to Coast Guard Island in Alameda, according to NewsNation's sources. The Coast Guard is part of the Department of Homeland Security.
Newsom to deploy National Guard to assist food banksThe City of Alameda released a statement Wednesday saying that the Alameda Police Department is not part of the operation and does not enforce federal immigration laws.
The deployment follows weeks of President Donald Trump ratcheting up the rhetoric around sending the National Guard to San Francisco, which currently ranks 26th nationally in violent crime. Trump raised the prospect of federal intervention in SF in a White House news conference last week.
Over the weekend, the president doubled down, telling Fox News, "We're going to San Francisco next." During the Fox segment, Trump hinted that he would be willing to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy troops to the city.
San Francisco city leaders, including Mayor Daniel Lurie and District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, along with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, have been adamant that federal troops are neither wanted, nor needed in the City by the Bay.
"Sending troops to San Francisco?" Gov. Newsom tweeted. "Do it and we'll sue."
On Wednesday, Newsom announced that he would be mobilizing the state's National Guard to assist with food banks hit by the government shutdown.
