Overview

• In a New York Times interview, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he fully supports President Trump and would welcome Guard troops in San Francisco, stating, “We don’t have enough cops, so if they can be cops, I’m all for it.”
• San Francisco officials condemned the idea, with District Attorney Brooke Jenkins vowing to hold any law‑enforcement personnel accountable if they break the law and other leaders calling the proposal insulting and unnecessary.
• The mayor’s office highlighted a “Rebuilding the Ranks” plan to reach 2,000 officers and cited roughly a 30% citywide crime drop, saying public safety remains the administration’s top priority.
• Ahead of next week’s Dreamforce, Benioff said Salesforce is partnering with the city to hire 200 additional trained officers and will pay for hundreds of off‑duty police to secure the 50,000‑attendee event.
• Legal limits constrain any federalized Guard policing, with a judge recently ruling the Los Angeles deployment unlawful and other courts blocking planned deployments in Oregon and Illinois.
