This move follows President Donald Trump's suggestions that his administration could take over running the city. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday that federal personnel from various police forces would be visible on the streets starting at midnight. This initiative will last for at least a week, but there will be the option to extend. The decision comes after a recent assault on a government worker, and amid Trump's criticism of rising crime in the city. Local officials, however, can point to declines in carjackings and homicides since 2023.
Police have arrested a suspect following attacks that killed three people and injured three others in two Bay Area cities. The attacks began Thursday afternoon in a San Jose shopping center parking lot where a victim was stabbed in carjacking, causing life-threatening injuries. A short time later, at another shopping center, the stolen vehicle appeared to intentionally ram two pedestrians. They died. Another stabbing happened later in neighboring Milpitas, killing the victim. A man found in the neighborhood was arrested. A Milpitas police spokesperson says investigators believe the crimes in both cities may be linked.
