Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff praised President Trump and urged deploying the National Guard to address crime in San Francisco as he arrived for Dreamforce, where he said he hired hundreds of off-duty police. His remarks came amid legal limits on federalized Guard policing and a recent ruling that Trump’s Los Angeles deployment violated the Posse Comitatus Act. Local Democrats blasted the idea; Dist. Atty. Brooke Jenkins threatened prosecutions for illegal conduct, while State Sen. Scott Wiener denounced an 'illegal military occupation.' Mayor Daniel Lurie’s office touted falling crime and growing police ranks. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office declined comment.

The coalition argues that the legal frameworks governing these technologies are in a state of flux as generative AI affects every sector of the economy, from healthcare diagnostics to creative industries. The push aims to centralize regulation at the federal level, limiting state‑level oversight of AI development and deployment.
