Gavin Newsom said Wednesday he was prepared to sue the Trump administration in a “nanosecond” if the White House moved forward with the deployment of the National Guard to San Francisco. Newsom’s statement comes as the Trump administration is preparing to dispatch more than 100 federal agents to the San Francisco Bay Area this week as it ratchets up immigration enforcement in the region, according to The San Francisco Chronicle. Local leaders, meanwhile, have stressed that troops aren’t needed and emphasized that the National Guard isn’t equipped to address issues like a drug crisis. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, meanwhile, emphasized that the presence of federal agents would only spur anxiety and fear.
