"I'm relieved to hear a possible federal deployment in San Francisco has been called off in recognition of the reality that Mayor Lurie and local public safety officials are more than capable of addressing community safety issues.

That said, I know many are still understandably concerned and frightened about other communities being targeted in the Bay Area.

We must continue to remain vigilant in tracking federal agency actions in San Francisco and across the Bay Area, and ensure our communities are protected from unnecessarily cruel and inhumane treatment."
