Oct 20, 2025 02:47 am CST

Donald Trump announces plans to deploy military forces to San Francisco, continuing his controversial pattern of sending troops to Democratic-led cities. This move follows similar deployments in Los Angeles, Washington, and Memphis, while courts have blocked such actions in Chicago and Portland. The announcement comes amid criticism that Trump exaggerates urban problems and coincides with controversy surrounding Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff's similar calls for National Guard intervention in the city.
