6:02 pm
essential right now. >> a lawyer for the department of justice argued the president's executive powers for military use are absolute. >> it gives state governors veto power over the president's military orders. it puts article three judges on a collision course with the commander in chief, and it endangers lives. >> the three judges, including two trump appointees, questioning the doj's argument that this is not subject to judicial review. >> that the court still has no role at all in determining whether the president. president. this hypothetical future president correctly invoked subsection three. no role at all. even if the president gives no reasons and there are no facts offered by that president to support that president's decision. >> that's correct, because if the statute is unreviewable, it's unreviewable. >> california arguing deployment of the state's guard is extreme and defies the nation's tradition of state sovereignty and use of the military.
6:03 pm
>> every day that this order remains in effect, it is causing harm to our nation's broader democratic tradition of separation of the military from civilian affairs. >> the law in question outlines conditions when a president can federalize a state's national guard, saying, quote, orders shall be issued through the governors. >> there was no high level debate about the constitutional issues and the constitutional values that are at stake. >> constitutional expert rory little says the judges questions were telling. >> honestly, i'm not sure the court is receptive to the california position. we don't know what the ninth circuit will do. they could issue a unanimous opinion and that could happen very quickly. >> noting with these legal stakes, there's a chance this could end up at the high court. >> if california wins today, that case will go up to the supreme court. i think if california loses today, it will still go to the supreme court. >> and today we also heard from governor gavin newsom, who said
6:04 pm
in a statement that more than half of the guard members in la right now would normally be working on wildfire prevention efforts in california. as we head into peak wildfire season now, no timeline from the judges for a ruling, but we're expecting one before friday. dan. karina. >> okay. monica. thanks very much. an emotional and defiant speech on the senate floor today by california senator alex padilla. the democrat addressed his forcible removal from homeland security secretary kristi noem's news conference last week, saying it should serve as a warning for his colleagues and all americans. >> if that is what the administration is willing to do to a united states senator for having the authority to simply ask a question, imagine what they'll do to any american who dares to speak up. if what you saw happen. can happen when the cameras are on. imagine not only
6:05 pm
what can happen, but what is happening in so many places where there are no cameras. >> padilla says he was escorted to noem's news conference by an fbi agent and a national guard member, and says they just stood back and did nothing. as he was being removed. the senator calling president trump a tyrant over his deployment of the national guard and u.s. marines to los angeles. >> the curfew has been lifted in downtown los angeles, where protests are starting to ease up. the mayor's decision is a relief to businesses who can return to regular business hours. the district attorney, nathan hochman, filed charges against eight people last week and says there are more to come. one man was charged for setting a chp patrol unit on fire. another man is accused of launching fireworks at firefighters and police officers. >> this group wanted to commit crimes. they looked at the protests as a cover, an opportunity to go ahead and apply their illegal trade and
6:06 pm
commit a whole variety of crimes. >> hoffman says. it was a small number of bad actors involved in the protests. while the vast majority of demonstrators were peaceful. >> a new report shows the economic impact that mass deportations could have in california. and it's in the billions of dollars. you've heard a lot about concerns in agriculture and food services, but construction and housing prices could also be affected. abc seven news reporter j.r stone is on that story. >> building housing in san francisco on this day. but a new report by the bay area council highlights the economic impact of large scale deportations of undocumented workers in california and how it could not only impact agriculture, but the construction of apartments and condos. >> they make up 33% of the state's farm workers and 26% of its construction laborers. these are sectors that already are experiencing labor shortages, absent of any immigration policy issue. >> abby royce is research
6:07 pm
director at the bay area council. she says that mass deportations across the state could impact california's gdp by up to $275 billion. she says the numbers show that undocumented workers in california generate more than $23 billion in tax revenue. >> the construction industry right now is faced with a huge labor shortage. we estimate about 500,000 that we're currently short in the market. and now with mass immigration policies, we project that if this doesn't slow down, we're going to be 1.3 million workers short by 2030. >> and construction concerns trickle down to housing concerns. according to those we spoke with. >> without a good construction workforce, if we deport a huge portion of that workforce, you know, that would worsen the existing shortages in that industry. it would delay housing projects and then, of course, ultimately continue to drive up costs, which are already astronomically high in the state of california. >> we're not going to address our challenges in housing
6:08 pm
affordability and stabilize prices if we don't have enough supply of homes, and if we're removing, we're making it very difficult to do that. >> i talked with a construction worker involved in this san francisco project who told me mass deportations could cripple his company and others. they contract with a reason that jorge carrillo of the hispanic construction council is now working with lawmakers in washington, d.c, on the issue. >> we agree with some of the immigration policies that he's put forward, like we want safe communities. we don't want criminals in our community. we support that, but we also need a policy in place that's going to protect the workforce because we need to understand and identify and address that. our immigrant population is what makes america great. >> this report found that 11% of the state's small businesses are owned by undocumented workers,
6:09 pm
and they've had a major role here in california. royce says that two thirds of the state's 2.3 million undocumented individuals have been here for more than ten years. j.r. stone abc seven news. >> all right j.r. thank you so much. in santa clara county, hundreds of home care workers rallied ahead of the board of supervisors meeting demanding protections as ice agents ramp up raids at schools and workplaces. the workers are also demanding wage increases. the union representing home care workers, says the $20 an hour wage is nowhere near the living wage for the area, which is about 25 an hour. a funding fight is on involving federal money for security at events like the super bowl and the world cup. san francisco is one of four cities that filed a lawsuit against the department of homeland security regarding the possible freezing of funds for counterterrorism efforts. the program covers several cities in northern california. san francisco city attorney david chu says the money is used to
6:10 pm
provide detection equipment, training and expertise. >> this is important work that we need to ensure that we are being kept safe, and we've been mystified as to why the trump administration would freeze this funding. >> this comes as the bay area prepares to host the fifa world cup and super bowl at levi stadium next year. abc seven news has reached out to the department of homeland security for comment, but has not received a response. >> the next time you visit a national park, you will probably notice a change. new signs are now posted at parks and historic sites around northern california and the bay area, urging visitors to comment on the historical context on display. some are worried it's the government reframing history. here's abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley. >> another sign of the times is now posted at national parks and memorials, like here at the rosie the riveter world war ii home front national historic park in richmond. and like here
6:11 pm
at the john muir national historic site in martinez. the new signage has qr codes urging visitors to report any signs or information, quote, that are negative about either past or living americans, or that fail to emphasize the beauty, grandeur and abundance of landscapes. >> this is an attempt to rewrite history, whitewash history, eliminate the stories of critical contributors to history. >> the reporting of history in the detailing of historys not a customer service issue. we are talking about fact. it is either fact or it is not fact. the fact that anyone visiting now who may disagree with the presentation of fact can complain about it, and perhaps their complaints will be actionable is problematic. it sends a chilling message, i think, to us about who controls history in this country. >> the new government intervention is coming at a time
6:12 pm
when the federal budget and staffing cuts are reverberating through the national park service. the signs are up at yosemite, at alcatraz, and at manzanar national historic site. >> when we talk about port chicago and manzanar in particular, people died in these spaces. >> hands off the park service. the park service for over 100 years has been the storytellers of our nation's history. they've done that professionally and with care, and there's no reason to circumvent their authority. >> just as the new signs encourage feedback that could be critical of the narrative, there is also an opportunity for compliments. >> i can assure you that i will be a part of resisting this. i will go to these monuments. i will lodge positive praise. >> in the east bay. i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> developing news now.

6:18 pm
has the story. >> for years, residents in this east oakland neighborhood have been demanding the city do something about speeding cars. >> they do go through here pretty fast. real fast, like a freeway. >> like many neighbors who live along east 21st street, sarah polk supports installing speed bumps to force drivers to slow down. residents point to last month's chp chase that ended moments before the driver hit and killed marvin boomer, a popular high school teacher. but seven blocks up, residents are dealing with speed and sideshows as the streets widen. >> several hundreds of hours of work. see, that's exactly what i'm talking about. and kids cross that to go to school. >> michael adams is leading the effort to find a solution. he says last year, neighbors held meetings with city officials to complain about weekly sideshows, but no results. so last summer, residents paid for and installed speed bumps themselves, which remained in place until this
6:19 pm
month, when the city finally removed them. >> the protocols don't serve us right. the protocols were made, you know, 30, 40 years ago for a different oakland and oakland. that assumes that people will follow stop signs and, you know, painted stripes. that's not the oakland we live in. >> east 21st is not an area where we ever wanted to see diy type efforts. we made that pretty clear, and then the community chose to go back out and do it again. >> josh rowan is director of oakland's department of transportation. he says he shares the residents frustration, but adds makeshift speed bumps were not the right fix, even if it prevented. >> sideshows may seem like a fairly simple scope to go bolt something to the pavement. it's actually a real traffic engineering design issue. >> rowan says his department already approved speed bumps for lower east 21st street, which could be installed in the next two months. and sideshow interference posts for the larger intersections still under mescal says he isn't optimistic
6:20 pm
the work will get done as promised. >> the city has a lot of problems, and if you don't, you know, commit to solving them. you never get to them. there's always another problem. >> in oakland, anser hassan abc seven news. >> happening now. the berkeley city council is discussing whether to start charging for parking at the berkeley marina to fix a budget crisis. right now, there are three free parking areas on the south side of the marina. the city wants to start charging $1 per hour, or $6 per day to park in those lots. they would also offer a $500 yearly waterfront pass. the berkeley marina is facing a $1.3 million deficit this year. it's estimated the fees would raise more than $188,000. >> well, the weather is certainly nice to go sailing. if you know someone with a boat, the wind is up and it's warm. >> yes it is, and we have some warmer weather ahead. let's check in with sandhya now. >> yeah, tomorrow is going to be the hottest day of the next seven days for inland communities. karina and dan. good evening everyone. we had some heat today. take a look at

6:28 pm
cancer screening pilot program. >> when there is danger, you run towards it. you are the protectors of san francisco. and today we are here to protect you. >> the program will provide advanced imaging scans, typically not covered by insurance, for all active duty firefighters over the age of 40, with at least five years of service. >> still to come, a showdown over rv parking. it's an issue leaving san francisco divided as the mayor tries to impose new restrictions. plus. >> people should have a choice. but there's no choice for people to live in drug free housing because we don't have none. we don't have any drug free housing. >> the city's recovery first ordinance faces challenges when it comes to curbing addiction. why the concept may not be

like michael, who have taken ozempic®. as touring musicians, my type 2 diabetes could have slowed us down. but i didn't let it. i'm michael from the war & treaty, and this is what my ozempic® era looks like. i'm lowering my a1c. and i lost some weight, too. i also learned some people take ozempic® to lower the risk of major cardiovascular events, like stroke, heart attack, or death. and others take it to lower the risk of worsening chronic kidney disease. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take if you or your family had mtc, men 2, or if allergic to it. stop taking and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or any of these allergic reactions. tell your provider if you plan to have surgery or a procedure, are nursing, pregnant, or plan to be. serious side effects may include inflamed pancreas, gallbladder or severe stomach problems, or changes in vision.
6:31 pm
call your prescriber if you have any of these symptoms. taking with a sulfonylurea or insulin may raise low blood sugar risk. common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, constipation. some side effects lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. discover the glp-1 with the most fda-approved uses, ozempic®. is a big supporter of the recovery first concept, which aims to help people get into treatment for drug and alcohol abuse. >> but many don't realize that after treatment, san francisco
6:32 pm
does not have a permanent place for people to go if they want to continue being sober. >> abc seven news. building a better bay area reporter lyanne melendez is here to look at the obstacles that stand in the way. >> yeah, and one thing that i didn't know is that, you know, san francisco and other cities in california do not get any money from the state. none. none for recovery housing. >> interesting. >> that was something i learned. and that's because the state has wanted to get as many people into housing first, regardless of whether or not they use drugs or alcohol. so basically they thought, let's get them off the streets first and then we'll deal with their substance abuse. and that was fine, except that fentanyl has slowed down any prospects of solving the housing crisis. the drake hotel in the tenderloin offers free housing to those transitioning out of prison. the program comes with a condition. >> when a person comes for the interview, we do an intake screening and we let them know
6:33 pm
that, you know, it's required that you stay clean and sober and that it's one year you get free housing, and also you are required to go to two groups a week and it's 11:00 curfew. >> the city is slowly. >> transforming a few old hotels into temporary recovery housing like this one. the civic center motor inn will be converted into a sober living transitional housing site. the marina inn will be a two year recovery housing facility located on octavia street in the marina district. both have a common denominator. both are temporary housing. the city now likes to call them interim housing. >> an interim implies that it's actually leading to something, but it actually isn't. when people are done with their two year stays, they got to either move to a place with drug users or leave the city. >> the reality is that san francisco has nothing for those people who want to live in a permanent abstinence environment. >> i truly believe that people should have a choice, but
6:34 pm
there's no choice for people to live in drug free housing because we don't have none. we don't have any drug free housing. >> san francisco nearly got there in early 2024. then mayor london breed was about to open california's first permanent alcohol free supportive housing facility right here between chinatown and north beach. >> it was the best economic deal san francisco has ever seen. we got a lower rent than you can ever get. we got free commercial space. we had 150 units. the city walked away from the best deal. it will never see a deal like that. and they took the money and they put it in a temporary housing and at a much more expensive rate. >> what happened? the chinatown community was not properly informed and protested, feeling pressure during an election year. breed backed away. today, the north beach hotel remains just another sro. the city also faces other economic challenges coming from the state that stand
6:35 pm
in the way of treatment. under the obama administration. the housing first concept was an approach to end homelessness, followed by connecting people to treatment and recovery programs. that was the federal version, but california took a different approach. the state told cities like san francisco, if you require that a person be drug or alcohol free in order to get any kind of supportive housing, you will get no funding, nothing from the state. this means that currently the city has to fund its own interim recovery facilities. >> we've got to get people inside, but we also have to get people off of drugs. >> assembly member matt haney has introduced legislation that would allow california cities to support their own sober living programs by using up to 25% of what the state gives them in funding for homeless housing. >> for some folks, they're ready for sobriety and they're ready
6:36 pm
to be held accountable, and we should help them in that journey, not shut them down and get in their way. we should stand with them rather than stand in their way. >> i've been fortunate enough to get my life back because, i mean, i have 32 years sober. >> but some are concerned about the implications of the word permanent and the astronomical cost of supporting people for what could be the rest of their lives. >> taxpayers are footing that bill for the rest of their lives, and that's not teaching people how to be free. that's not teaching people how to stand on their own. and it keeps them complacent and keeps them in the same place that they were when they started. >> so meaning at some point you have to cut the cord, except that both sides agree. for those completing recovery, because san francisco is so expensive, they either have to go live in in an sro in the tenderloin tenderloin or leave san francisco. >> too expensive? >> yeah, exactly. so it's not like i meet a lot of people who
6:37 pm
have, you know, gotten off fentanyl, but i have met three people, and all three of them have had to leave san francisco. because they couldn't afford to live here. and that temptation was too great. >> but hopefully there's some kind of support, whether it's not housing. yes. something. >> yes. but the temptation is always there for them. >> in the city particularly. all right. thank you very much. >> and if you or someone you know is struggling with issues including addiction and mental health, there is local help and it's easy to find. go to abc seven news.com/action. >> community groups rallied outside san francisco city hall this afternoon against mayor daniel lurie's plan to prohibit rvs from parking in city streets for longer than two hours. >> housing is a human right. fight, fight, fight. >> the groups say the mayor's plan will force people onto the streets and into shelters. the protest came ahead of an sf a board hearing on this proposal.
6:38 pm
representatives from the mayor's office telling the board that the plan balances the needs of the unhoused while managing city streets. >> we don't believe that children are well served growing up in rvs. we want them to haveg housing. we want to help those families and those elderly and those adults who are living in those vehicles get to a more stable housing solution. >> lurie's plan focuses on nearly 500 rvs. the city has identified with people actively living in them. it includes an investment of $13 million over two years time to offer options like housing vouchers, outreach services and hotel vouchers. >> up next, inside the heart of the castro district this pride month, how one iconic hotel is setting the gold standard for inclusion. >> and a high honor indeed for hollywood legend tom cruise. how the motion picture academy is recognizing his many contributions to the big sc.

and it was my time to shine, so i really took the opportunity. i said, hey, it has my last name on it. i want to be represented well. and so we did a lot of changes and a lot of construction. we renovated the property. awesome, i love it. we're 1958, so the vibe is mid-century modern and with the dots along the edge of it, the way that it's a beacon on market street, i, i love it. we have our sundeck. we still have free parking, which is like absurd in san francisco, but i'm so happy to be able to provide it again because we have people coming from all over, you know, and people people tell me all the time, oh, i drive down market street. i saw your hotel. oh, i drive down, i see that sign all the time. from a business standpoint, from a social standpoint, we're lucky to have it.
6:44 pm
we're happy to have all different sorts of people. it makes the job fun. it makes our neighborhood diverse. it makes coming to this neighborhood more exciting than just seeing the same thing over and over again. and a lot of people that have stayed with us for years and years, and they've always felt so comfortable here. great opportunity that was brought to me, and we're really proud to be a legacy business. and all the emails and all the correspondence i get, it's such a cool group of businesses that make san francisco truly unique. i hear stories from guests that have been staying with us since the 80s and the 90s, and what a different time that was. and most of them come back really happy to see that the property's changed, that the neighborhood's changed, and it's thriving. we're going to keep on doing what we're doing, providing great accommodations, provide a location that you can get on
6:45 pm
