Trump backs off SF federal deployment after Huang, Benioff calls

President Donald Trump shelved plans to "surge" a federal deployment in San Francisco after calls from Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Salesforce’s Marc Benioff and others, and a conversation with Mayor Daniel Lurie, who he said is making progress on crime. Lurie said Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed no deployment. Benioff, who had briefly backed federal troops, reversed course amid criticism. City data point to improving safety and business momentum: crime down 30% from 2024, homicides at a 70-year low, car break-ins at 22-year lows, with tourism, real estate and AI-fueled investment rising.
