seven. news starts right now. >> if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the los angeles community and throughout california and throughout the country. california senator alex padilla. >> forcibly removed from a news conference with the secretary of homeland security and handcuffed in los angeles today while trying to ask about the department's, quote, increasingly extreme immigration enforcement actions. >> and this comes as we await a ruling from a federal judge on california's lawsuit against president trump's use of military troops in los angeles to help combat the protests of federal immigration raids. good evening. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. we are waiting to hear a judge's ruling on california's lawsuit over

president trump's deployment of the national guard and the marines in support of immigration raids that could come down really any moment now. >> yes. abc seven news political reporter monica madden is live with the very latest tonight. monica. >> hey there. we're on the streets of san francisco on ruling watch. you can see behind me. all of the reporters and cameras were waiting for what will hopefully be remarks from one of the parties involved in this lawsuit. now, at the heart of this case is the question of whether or not president donald trump followed the law when he federalized the national guard in response to those protests we've been seeing in la over the ice raids. now, it was a packed courthouse tonight. earlier today, rather, where we heard from both sides going back and forth over this issue. strikingly, at one point, judge charles breyer, who is the younger brother of retired u.s. supreme court justice stephen breyer, he held up a pocketbook constitution, saying that this is about the president's authority, which is limited. he then said, quote, that's the difference between a constitutional government and

king george. now, the central question is really how the president issued and how he communicated this order. last saturday, president trump issued a memo to federalize the national guard. he was first sent. it was first sent to the department of defense and then to the head of the california national guard. now, the state argues that he didn't go through the proper communication channels by not directly informing governor gavin newsom. the doj says that the president has ultimate authority and that it eventually made its way to newsom, arguing, therefore, trump complied with the law. we heard this issue spill over into d.c. earlier today, where congressman ro khanna pressed defense secretary pete hegseth on whether the trump administration will follow judge breyer's ruling, even if they find it unfavorable. >> if the federal court in california, in the san francisco, the district judge has an orders, a preliminary injunction, will you agree to abide by the federal court's? >> what i will tell you is my job right now is to ensure the

troops that we have in los angeles are capable of supporting law enforcement. >> now, in court earlier today, judge breyer seemed to be leaning towards issuing a preliminary injunction only regarding the national guard's deployment, not the marines, he said. that's because we have yet to see how the marines will respond, and if they will respond directly to those citizens protesting on the streets of la. we're still waiting for a ruling. as we've said, judge breyer said that we will hopefully get that by the end of today. live in san francisco. monica madden, abc seven news. >> okay, monica, thanks so much. we are standing by for that ruling. if it should happen here in the next few minutes or before end of business today. now, an astonishing sight at a department of homeland security news conference, california senator alex padilla was dragged to the ground and handcuffed in la while trying to question dhs secretary kristi noem. abc seven news reporter kevin, from our sister station in los angeles has the story. >> i'm so thankful for the men and women of law enforcement.

>> not long after, homeland security secretary kristi noem started her briefing here in la. >> senator alex padilla. i have questions for the secretary. >> california senator alex padilla tried to get a question in, but federal agents quickly swept him away. >> the fact of the matter is, a half a dozen violent criminals that are rotating on your on your. >> the fbi and secret service pushed the senator out of the briefing room and into a hallway. >> on the ground, hands behind your back. >> where they forced the democrat down to the ground and then cuffed him. >> i think everybody in america would would agree that that wasn't appropriate. >> the senator was only temporarily held. and after the press conference, the secretary met with him for about ten minutes inside the federal building that's now protected by the national guard. then both stepped outside. >> if this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a

senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers. >> the senator left without answering any questions. and shortly after, the fbi sent out this statement saying senator padilla did not identify himself and was not wearing his senate security pin. senator padilla was subsequently positively identified and released. but clearly. >> senator alex padilla. >> he said his name. the fbi retracted that the senator didn't identify himself. but what remains is this image. in an era of unprecedented times, you can add to the list that you have now seen a u.s. senator face down on the ground with his hands behind his back. kevin uzbek, abc seven news. >> a bay area state senator and three assembly members hosted a news conference today to speak against ice raids, calling them inhumane and unconstitutional.

>> let's be clear deploying the military against our own citizens is a sign of authoritarianism. as a democratic society, it's our obligation to peacefully protest and to stand up for our communities. the state legislature's determined to protect all of our constituents, whether you were born in the united states or not. and to that end, when we pass our budget tomorrow, we'll allocate $110 million in funding for legal defense and counseling for people that are facing deportation. senator. >> they are calling on the trump administration to stop the raids and to allow access to legal representation to detainees. >> in san francisco, faith leaders gathered outside city hall to stand in unity following a number of immigration detainments in the city and in southern california as well. abc seven news reporter luz pena got more clarity on what the city's sanctuary policy is, and when officials are mandated to work with ice agents. loose is in the newsroom with more on this aspect of the story. loose.

>> that's right. today, for the first time, san francisco's mayor daniel lurie, reaffirmed that this city will remain a sanctuary city for undocumented immigrants. words that many in the immigrant community had been waiting to hear. as icy tensions have led to local protests and fear. standing with faith leaders and immigration advocates, san francisco's mayor daniel lurie, made his position clear. >> these actions are not intended to fix our broken immigration system. they are intended to terrorize people. for decades, san francisco has had sanctuary policies. that means our police officers and city staff do not assist with federal immigration enforcement. >> in the last week, immigration and customs enforcement agents have detained at least 15 people who showed up to their immigration appointments in the city. among them children as young as three years old and their mothers. >> mothers are being pulled off the street and separated from their children. it is inhumane.

it goes directly against the values of this city and this country. >> san francisco became a sanctuary city 36 years ago, but the latest actions by ice are causing some to question those protections. to get more clarity on what san francisco is and is not allowed to do as a sanctuary city, we spoke to university of san francisco professor of migration studies bill hing. >> the city cannot use any of its resources to engage in immigration enforcement. that means when it comes to resources, personnel, they're not supposed to ask about immigration status. and if they happen to find out, they're not supposed to pick up the phone and call up ice. >> sanctuary laws do not stop ice from entering san francisco. >> it doesn't mean that the city will put up a fence around san francisco and keep ice out. >> among the local leaders. standing on the steps of city hall was san francisco's sheriff, paul miyamoto. >> we are disappointed that

while we were informed that they would be going after individuals with criminal histories and federal criminal charges, that's transitioned into coming into our communities and arresting people that don't have criminal histories. >> many putting faith and unity at the forefront. >> he said it very clearly. it's a sanctuary city. >> and san francisco's sheriff paul miyamoto, confirmed his deputies do not collaborate with ice, and the only time they do work with these agents is if there is a serious criminal in the city who needs to be detained. he said he has only honored this request once in the newsroom. luz pena, abc seven news. >> okay. thank you. still ahead, president trump kills california's ambitious auto emissions standards, including a landmark rule that would have eventually banned sales of new gas only cars in california by 2035. >> plus, as you've noticed, we're in a breezy pattern as you take a live look at the conditions outside right now. there is, however, a warm up in

store for the weekend. abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel will be here with more on that.

>> good evening everyone. i'm linsey davis. we're interrupting your regularly scheduled programing with breaking news. abc news has learned that israel has launched an attack on iran, likely targeting iran's nuclear sites. tensions have been mounting in the region for several days. president trump told reporters earlier today that it could happen at any time. we want to go right to selina wang, who is at the white house for selina. what's the latest reporting? >> well, lindsey, we don't have details on the size or the scope of this attack. but earlier today, i asked president trump just how imminent an israeli strike on iran's nuclear facility could be. and president trump told me that it very well could happen. but he also stressed again, that iran cannot

have a nuclear weapon and make clear that he would prefer a diplomatic resolution to this. the president also said that last month he had warned netanyahu not to launch such a strike. the president is concerned that this attack could actually derail ongoing u.s. and iran negotiations. the president has been signaling for many weeks now that he believes the u.s. and iran are close to a deal. but then, just in recent days, the president has become less confident. but his envoy, steve witkoff lindsay, he is planning to travel to oman for scheduled talks with his iranian counterparts on sunday. this is after multiple rounds of talks between the u.s. and iran. the president today, as of just hours ago, still optimistic that an agreement could be reached. we'll see how this changes things. >> selina wang from the white house. thank you. i want to go now to marcus moore in tel aviv, who is in a shelter there. again, we just talked about these escalations and what it could potentially mean for these peace talks, which we were

expecting to happen just days from now. marcus, what are you learning? >> well, lindsay, i can tell you that the tension has already, as you know, been high across the region. and just moments ago, the air raid sirens went off here in tel aviv. and there was an aviv. and there was an announcement on the loudspeaker here in the hotel where we were staying and working. and it urged everyone, the guests, to get to the shelter on their floor. and so that's where we are right now. just to show you around just a little bit, you can see they have some supplies in here. there are cots. and guests have also joined in these shelters to try to get to a safe place. because, lindsay, the concern has been all along over any potential israeli strike on iran that there would be a response. and so following the what the israelis have called a preemptive strike tonight here in the middle east, in iran, they soon after that sound of the alarms for anyone, really across all of israel to get to their bomb shelters,

anticipating that there would be a response from iran and a response, lindsay, that would be quite swift. and what we have heard from the iranians is that if any of their locations were hit, whether nuclear or not, that they would respond in kind. and so that is why there's been so much concern here tonight. >> and we are taking a live look at jerusalem at this moment. marcus moore, thank you. i want to bring in former state department official and abc news contributor, colonel steve ganyard. he joins us now. steve, obviously it cannot be overstated here just how widespread these implications are. >> uh. indeed, lindsey. and we want to find out what actually went on here. apparently, president trump told benjamin netanyahu just recently that the u.s. would not participate. so this seems to be an all israeli operation. now, the israelis do not have bombers, so they aren't able to drop the kind of ordnance that would penetrate deep into the buried sites that

the that the iranians hold their centrifuges. so the question here is, what did the israelis hit? we are seeing some reports in tehran that some air defense sites and military sites within tehran have been hit, but that's not really the nuclear program. and that was the intent of the strikes tonight. the other thing we need to think about here, lindsey, is that the iranians have thousands of missiles, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles that can reach tel aviv, reach israel. and so obviously israel is on alert and expecting some sort of retaliation from the iranians quite soon. >> and, steve, i just want to stay with you here because we are just hearing from a u.s. official that the united states did not have any involvement. they were not in no way assisting israel in this attack. you have to imagine that this was the last thing the united states wanted, certainly not in anyone's best interest. >> president trump has been holding out hope that the negotiations that are going on in oman are supposed to go on on sunday would actually lead to something, but he was also been

has also been very frustrated. the israelis see the ability of the iranians to create a nuclear weapon is an existential threat. and so their ability to tolerate the kind of delays that we've seen out of the iranians is very different from the u.s. so benjamin netanyahu made the decision to do what the israelis have literally been planning for decades to do, and that is go after those nuclear sites to try to set back the iranian nuclear program. >> steve ganyard, for us, we thank you so much for your time, and we are now going to return you to your regularly scheduled programing. our coverage continues on abc news live and abcnews.com. i'm linsey davis in new york. have a good night. >> and we take it back from the network abc news reporting the escalation in tensions between israel and iran and israel launching preemptive strikes on iran. so they are expecting retaliation at any moment. >> so again tensions only rising in that part of the world. but let's come back home for a few moments. new developments out tonight regarding california's vehicle emissions rules. >> yesterday, president trump signed three resolutions

revoking the state's ambitious auto emissions standards and terminating california's electric vehicle sales mandates and diesel engine rules. >> but state leaders are already fighting back. abc seven news reporter dustin dorsey is live in the south bay with the details. dustin. >> dan and ama. the california has challenged the trump administration over national guard deployment, transgender athlete rights and immigration protections. now, attorney general rob bonta says the removal of clean air standards puts millions of lives at risk simply for the political gain of the president. so the two sides are back in court again. >> we officially rescue the u.s. auto industry from destruction by terminating california electric vehicle mandate once and for all. >> president donald trump is trying to hit the brakes on electric vehicle rules in the golden state thursday in an attempt to overturn what he calls a disaster. trump signed

resolutions blocking the first in the nation regulations to ban the sale of new gas powered vehicles statewide in 2030. five minutes later, california attorney general rob bonta stepped in. >> we made a promise that if the president attempted to illegally interfere with our clean air standards, we'd hold him accountable in court. today, we are making good on that promise. >> despite trump announcing there is nothing california can do to fight this bonta, governor gavin newsom and ten other states filed a federal lawsuit. governor newsom says the president is trying to destroy the state's clean air during his continuing all out assault on california. last month, the republican controlled house and senate used the congressional review act, or cra, to revoke clean air act waivers in california. >> we refuse to let this unprecedented and illegal use of the cra undermine the clean air act, waivers that give california the authority to enforce our own emission standards. >> standards that bonta says reduce harmful pollution and

protect public health. san jose state university environmental science professor eugene cordero says electric vehicles are the easiest way to improve conditions for some of the worst polluted cities in the country. he says policies that slow down that progress will lead to worsening smog, higher asthma rates and millions of dollars in increased health care costs. >> building more public transit, high speed rail all those things are really challenging for us to do in a ready, built up environment. so this conversion to electric vehicles is a is a way that we can really reduce emissions quickly. and californians already done a pretty good job in this space. >> this is the 26th lawsuit that california has filed against the trump administration. in just the first six months that president trump has been in office, has been in office. rob bonta says that those legal fees somewhere near $5 million. at this time. it's unclear what this lawsuit will mean as far as electric vehicles in the future.

but the regulations trump is trying to evoke does not impact the ability to buy or sell electric vehicles. now live in the newsroom. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> okay, dustin. thank you. the california insurance commission is launching an investigation into state farm's handling of thousands of insurance claims from palisades and eaton fire victims. commissioner ricardo lara said it will assess whether the insurance company complied to california consumer protection laws. the department had previously received general allegations regarding state farm's handling of claims, but wildfire survivors are encouraged to submit formal complaints to the commission to help with
