These demonstrations come as there are growing concerns of President Donald Trump deploying the National Guard to San Francisco and other cities.

California sued the Trump Administration over its deployment of the Guard to Los Angeles during ICE protests back in June, and Thursday at an unrelated press conference, Governor Gavin Newsom told reporters he believes the president is illegally trying to use federal troops as his personal police force.
Newsom said, „His latest assertion that he was going to come to San Francisco. On what basis? He didn’t even claim, there’s no pretext anymore. Let’s disabuse ourselves that there has to be a pretext with Donald Trump, that there’s anything that would justify that there’s no existing protest in a federal building, there’s no operation that’s being impeded.
