district attorney brooke jenkins also says they're aware of violence at past big events. we have to understand and accept that people choose to victimize people as they attend these types of celebrations, and we must be prepared to address when something like that happens. one attack fresh on everyone's mind new year's day when a man drove into the crowd on busy bourbon street in new orleans, killing 14 people and injuring 57. but it's not the only example that has police preparing in 2023. in monterey park, california, a 72 year old man walked into a ballroom full of people celebrating lunar new year and opened fire, killing 11 and injuring nine. san francisco public safety teams say while there has been no specific threat against either the lunar new year parade or the all star game, they're going all out for safety anyway. for city leaders and police leaders, it's not just about keeping people safe, they say. it's also about making sure that people feel safe during both of these events. police chief bill scott says they want to make sure there's a visible presence of o

district attorney brooke jenkins says she hopes the new mayor will help, not just by backing law enforcement officers, but also by bringing change to other city departments. my big ask of the mayor right now is, is for a more robust public health strategy that doesn't simply embrace public drug use, or people taking their own time to figure out when they want help. the da says drug treatment infrastructure needs to be buil. following the ceremony at civic center, mayor lowry slipped away from the crowds to sign the official documents needed to formally take office. then everyone was invited into city hall for a reception. the inaugural event inside city hall included food, commemorative mugs and a place for supporters to write wishes for the city. and now the danielle lowry is the mayor of san francisco. his supporters say they are cautiously optimistic that he can deliver on the promises he made on the campaign trail, and reiterated during his speech when he discussed his plans for the fentanyl crisis here in san francisco. that's pretty much what i wanted to hear at san francisco city hall

we're also seeing other city leaders expecting the da, brooke jenkins, to be here, city attorney david chu, as well as members of a local union who are spearheading today's press conference. now, this all comes as fears heighten within the city's immigrant and migrant communities. here in the bay area, there are videos shared on social media of targeted operations in san francisco. a viewer shared this one, reportedly from sunday. now, two days prior, a leader from a local union says that federal agents showed up to multiple buildings but made no arrests because they did not have arrests or search warrants. nbc news has learned i.c.e. arrested 1179 undocumented immigrants in one day. roughly half had criminal records. in addition to being in the country illegally. nbc news's gabe gutierrez saw one enforcement operation in another major city, chicago, where agents arrested a man named christopher lara from mexico. he says he had a criminal record, including convictions for home invasion and aggravated battery. he does have serious charges and convictions, so i understand he has a daught

having a district attorney, brooke jenkins, who holds people accountable when they are arrested, has been really important. working with the coordinated effort with the drug enforcement agency, with the u.s. attorney's office, our federal partner, state partners and law enforcement, we had a very coordinated effort like never before. so and also our reform work, reforming our police department was an important part of the solution. removing things from our department's responsibilities and our street crisis response team for people struggling with mental illness. and so we didn't have to abandon our reforms in order to help keep people safe. we just had to introduce accountability. we had to change our local and state laws. we had to build our capacity. we had to put all of this together. over time. that led to these remarkable results that we can be proud of. and i'm really excited about what that means for the city and its future. >> we certainly know that it was a coordinated effort, right? and it wasn't just a thing that you could snap your fingers and change things overnight, so
