The Trump administration is temporarily holding off on a long-threatened immigration crackdown in San Francisco, the president wrote on Truth Social on Thursday, even as agents massed at a Coast Guard base just outside the city.

“The Federal Government was preparing to ‘surge’ San Francisco, California, on Saturday, but friends of mine who live in the area called last night to ask me not to go forward with the surge in that the Mayor, Daniel Lurie, was making substantial progress,” Trump wrote.

“I spoke to Mayor Lurie last night and he asked, very nicely, that I give him a chance to see if he can turn it around,” the president added.

Trump also said tech executives like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Salesforce’s Marc Benioff “called saying that the future of San Francisco is great,” pressure that convinced him to suspend the operation, at least temporarily.
