In a plot twist that sounds like a political thriller, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins has drawn a line in the fog-covered sand, warning potential federal troops not to mess with her city.
After Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff suggested sending the National Guard to San Francisco, and Donald Trump predictably latched onto the idea like a seagull on a forgotten french fry, Jenkins has emerged as an unexpected defender of San Francisco’s urban sovereignty.
A Bold Political Stance
Jenkins isn’t just talking tough; she’s promising to prosecute any federal agents or troops who dare to use excessive force in the city. “If you come to San Francisco and illegally harass our residents, use excessive force or cross any legal boundaries, I will not hesitate to hold you accountable,” she declared with the energy of a mama bear protecting her tech-startup cubs.
Political Contradiction?
Interestingly, this stance seems somewhat at odds with Jenkins’ previous approach to prosecuting local law enforcement. Her history of dropping charges against SFPD officers accused of excessive force makes her current rhetoric feel like a dramatic character development in a Netflix political drama.
Legal Complexities
Whether Jenkins can actually prosecute federal agents or National Guard troops remains a legally murky question. The Department of Homeland Security has already dismissed her threat, with a spokesperson sarcastically noting that she’s “going to sue law enforcement for enforcing the rule of law”.
As San Francisco continues to be the unexpected epicenter of national political drama, one thing is clear: our local politics are never boring.
