President Trump keeps threatening to send National Guard troops to San Francisco, calling it crime-ridden and claiming residents want federal help

The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristin Noem on Monday said ICE agents will be coming to San Francisco under the direction of President Trump. This comes as the president continues to threaten the deployment of the National Guard to the city.

Mayor Daniel Lurie said the National Guard cannot arrest drug dealers and opposed President Donald Trump's deployment plan for San Francisco crime crackdown.

The group is made up of representatives from the city attorney and "other affected department heads," Lurie explained, and he said the group meets regularly to coordinate a policy response.

On Sunday, President Donald Trump again threatened to send National Guard troops to San Francisco, and says he may invoke the Insurrection Act to do it.

President Donald Trump over the weekend made the most direct statements yet about his plans to send National Guard troops to San Francisco.

The office also said that from 2019 to 2025, the city saw a 45 percent decrease in homicides and a 40 percent drop in robberies.

In an interview on the FOX News show "Sunday Morning Futures," Trump spoke about his deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago, and suggested that San Francisco might be next. The president added he may invoke the Insurrection Act to do it.
