Trump Administration Dispatches More Than 100 Federal Agents to San Francisco Bay Area
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration is dispatching more than 100 federal agents to
the San Francisco Bay Area as it seeks to ramp up immigration raids in
Northern California. That's according to the San Francisco Chronicle,
which reports the deployment is a likely precursor to President Trump
deploying National Guard troops to San Francisco. California's
Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom blasted the deployment as "right out of
the dictator's handbook."
