Benioff Backs Trump, Says He’d Welcome National Guard in San Francisco Before Dreamforce

City leaders say legal limits make a National Guard patrol unlikely.

Overview

  • San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins warned she will prosecute any federal personnel who break local laws if they are sent.
  • Benioff said on X that Salesforce is partnering with the city to hire 200 additional trained law-enforcement professionals for Dreamforce next week.
  • No National Guard deployment has been ordered for San Francisco, and recent court decisions and the Posse Comitatus framework restrict troops from acting as city police.
  • Mayor Daniel Lurie’s office cited rising police staffing under the Rebuilding the Ranks plan and reported crime down nearly 30% citywide.
  • The comments highlight Benioff’s shift to publicly supporting the president and reflect security demands for an event expected to draw more than 50,000 attendees.
