Mayor Daniel Lurie does not \u201ctalk quite often\u201d with outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, as Noem claimed during a press conference<\/a> on Thursday evening in Nashville, according to a San Francisco City Hall source briefed on the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The San Francisco Standard<\/a> was first to locally report on Noem\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

The source said Lurie has not spoken to Noem in four months, since the call he received from President Donald Trump<\/a> on Oct. 2 preceding the president pulling back federal immigration agents<\/a> and rescinding a threatened Bay Area-wide deployment.<\/p>\n

The mayor\u2019s office declined to comment on Noem\u2019s statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the Thursday press conference, Noem did not get into specifics about her supposed conversations with Lurie, and she did not mention immigration enforcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Noem was fired<\/a> by Trump Thursday morning. During the Q&A portion of the Sergeant Benevolent Association Major Cities Conference<\/a> today in Tennessee, which came shortly after her firing, Noem told San Francisco Police Officers Association Vice President Chris Galligan that Lurie \u201cworks with us very well\u201d and had \u201cgreat conversations\u201d with Noem.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou maybe have some challenges in San Francisco just because of your state laws and local laws. Although you\u2019ve got a mayor that works with us very well. He probably doesn\u2019t want me to talk about it a lot, actually,\u201d Noem told the police union vice president, chuckling. \u201cBut he has been cooperative and we have great conversations and talk quite often.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

San Francisco has not seen the large-scale raids of the sort that have taken place in Los Angeles or Minneapolis, and its immigration arrests<\/a> have been largely confined to the immigration courthouses<\/a> or check-ins with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n

But the Department of Homeland Security, which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement, conducts raids across the Bay Area<\/a> and has made immigration arrests<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lurie has faced criticism in the wake of his Oct. 2 call with Trump largely because he has not released all records related to that call. His office has claimed attorney-client privilege over the records but has faced censure from the city\u2019s transparency commission, which said the mayor\u2019s failure to disclose records related to his conversation with the president broke the law<\/a> and urged Lurie to release more information<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump in October wrote <\/a>on social media that \u201cfriends of mine\u201d \u2014\u00a0billionaire CEOs Jensen Huang of Nvidia and Marc Benioff of Salesforce \u2014\u00a0lobbied him to not crack down on San Francisco. He credited Lurie for \u201cvery nicely\u201d requesting the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lurie\u2019s office has said the privileged records are related to an executive directive issued the day before to prepare for Trump\u2019s threatened deployment and that it does not have any relevant records related to the call, like transcripts or notes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Noem, during the Thursday press conference, said that, in general, cooperation between the feds and San Francisco has worked well, but she did not mention ICE or other immigration agencies. City law enforcement routinely works with the feds on issues related to drug enforcement, for instance, and has for many years and with both Democratic and Republican presidents.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 3, for example, members of the mayor\u2019s office met with Drug Enforcement Agency staff on the \u201cfentanyl drug crisis\u201d for 30 minutes, according to the mayor\u2019s public calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Noem on Thursday told the police union\u2019s Galligan that it is \u201cpreferable\u201d for the FBI to lead federal law enforcement in San Francisco and that \u201cI think that works very well in your city \u2026 I think the city has seen some dramatic improvements under this leadership.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mayor Daniel Lurie does not \u201ctalk quite often\u201d with outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, as Noem…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":161275,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[636,2871,101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-206225","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco","8":"tag-daniel-lurie","9":"tag-ice","10":"tag-san-francisco","11":"tag-san-francisco-headlines","12":"tag-san-francisco-news","13":"tag-sf","14":"tag-sf-headlines","15":"tag-sf-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206225\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
