Federal immigration agents are moving into the Bay Area, with more than a hundred headed to Coast Guard Base Alameda, marking a significant federal operation in the region. In an interview with Maria Bartiromo on “Fox News Sunday Morning Futures,” President Donald Trump said, “We’re going to go to San Francisco.

This move comes as a precursor to Trump’s threat to deploy the National Guard to San Francisco.

Coast Guard Base Alameda confirmed the federal operation, stating:
