Demonstrators in the San Francisco area protested the arrival of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at a U.S. Coast Guard base on Thursday, as President Donald Trump planned to surge federal forces into the city on Saturday to quell crime.

However, Trump reversed course after saying he spoke with the mayor and business leaders who said they were working to clean up the city.
