SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu said he is prepared to take President Donald Trump to court if he follows through with repeated threats to send the National Guard into the city .
Chiu on Monday joined with a coalition of local elected officials, cities and counties across the country to call on the United States Supreme Court to block Trump and his administration "from using the military for domestic law enforcement" in areas such as Chicago.
"We urge the Court to uphold the bedrock legal principle that domestic law enforcement is not the military’s job," Chiu said. "San Francisco has seen historic drops in crime, and our local law enforcement are more than capable of keeping our city safe while upholding First Amendment rights."
