San Francisco DA: ‘Won’t Hesitate’ to Charge Troops
18th October 2025
San Francisco Democrat District Attorney Brooke Jenkins reiterated she would not “hesitate” to bring charges against federal agents or National Guard troops if she had a “provable case,” Politico reported Thursday.
Jenkins made her latest comments Wednesday, hours after President Donald Trump again said he’s considering deploying the National Guard to San Francisco, which he called “a mess.” She first warned federal agents of possible charges in a social media post last week.
Jenkins said she would take the unprecedented step of bringing charges, such as excessive force, if U.S. troops or immigration agents broke local laws.“If I believe, and have conviction, that we can meet our burden and charges are appropriate, that I won’t hesitate to do so,” she told Politico.
Two words: Qualified Immunity. This affirmative-action hire apparently has about the same legal competence as Justice Brown.
