President Donald Trump is making good on his word to clean up the chaos Democrats have allowed to fester in California—and Gov. Gavin Newsom is already losing it. After weeks of hinting that San Francisco was next on his law-and-order checklist, Trump has followed through.
News Nation has now confirmed that the administration is sending 100 federal agents to the city as part of Trump’s nationwide crime crackdown. It’s a long-overdue response to years of Democrat failure that turned one of America’s most beautiful cities into a dystopian mess of drugs, homelessness, and lawlessness.
A NewsNation source confirmed Wednesday that more than 100 federal agents will arrive in San Francisco as early as Thursday. @AliBradleyTV spoke with the city's district attorney and a local business owner about crime. More: https://t.co/a6So43rGJX pic.twitter.com/3fWEJGsjRo

The outlet noted that according to DHS sources, “around 100 federal agents and officers from multiple agencies, including ICE and Customs and Border Protection, will be in the San Francisco area as early as Thursday.”
As to why, the reporter noted further that “San Francisco ranks 26th in the nation for violent crime, but it’s 13th in the nation when it comes to property crime, and it’s also above Chicago when it comes to major crime in the United States.”
Meanwhile, KRON published a statement from the U.S. Coast Guard regarding its role in the crime clean-up:
“The U.S. Coast Guard is providing facility support to Customs & Border Protection as requested, in a supporting role. The Coast Guard is focused on ensuring safe and secure operations in support of federal partners. All questions about the operation should be directed to CBP, the lead agency.”
“At this time, I have not received any report of ICE agents being sent to Base Alameda,” a Coast Guard spokesperson continued, following reports that the agents have been “dispatched to Coast Guard Island in Alameda” in the Bay Area.
And right on cue, Alameda’s leadership confirmed exactly what we’ve come to expect from blue cities — they want no part in actually enforcing the law. The official statement made it crystal clear that local officials would not be cooperating with federal immigration enforcement in any way:
The Alameda Police Department (APD) is not a part of this operation, and APD does not enforce federal immigration laws or related civil warrants.
After hearing the news, naturally, Newsom held a press conference and threatened the Trump administration with legal action:

“We’re going to be fierce in terms of our response,” Newsom said. “And quite literally this is the lawsuit that I will file within a nanosecond of any efforts to send the military to one of America’s great cities, San Francisco.”
“That has enjoined sixty percent reduction in homicide or rather homicide reduction – is the lowest it’s been in sixty years,” he added, claiming without a hint of irony that it was one of the “safest large cities” in the country with an “economic rebirth and growth.”
A place that’s lost business and residents because of the insane cost of living, crime, and homelessness, etc., but no mention of that, of course.
The irony is hard to miss — Trump is stepping in to clean up the disaster created under Gavin Newsom’s watch, ultimately helping the very liberals who would never in a million years have voted for him.
