• President Donald Trump says he’s no longer planning to “surge” resources to San Francisco, citing conversations with “friends” in the area and the city’s mayor. Trump had planned to send federal agents there for immigration and anti-crime enforcement efforts soon, a source previously told CNN. Before Trump’s announcement, protesters outside a US Coast Guard base in California blocked Customs and Border Protection vehicles.

• Meanwhile, legal disputes are unfolding as the administration pushes to deploy US troops to other Democratic-led cities to address what it calls “violent resistance to federal immigration enforcement,” but a federal judge decried a “troubling trend” of the White House “equating protests with riots.”

• Oregon, with Portland, is pushing for an appeals court to reconsider a ruling allowing the federal government to deploy the National Guard. The Trump administration, meanwhile, is urging the court not to grant the review.

• In Chicago, a federal judge extended an order blocking National Guard troops from being sent to Illinois, as the Supreme Court weighs Trump’s request to allow deployment.
