President Donald Trump said on Oct. 23 that he will not send federal agents to San Francisco this week.

The president had planned to send agents to the city in a crackdown on illegal immigration and violent crime, but called off the plans after speaking to the city’s mayor about recent efforts by local law enforcement to bring down crime.
