at the center of a state investigation. it is one of several investigations into the facility over the past year. but this time, it comes after the tragic death of a toddler last month. here's nbc bay area's velena jones. the death of a two year old boy, now the subject of an investigation into the building kids school in dublin. the boy was found unresponsive at the school last month. some parents still question what happened and welcome the state investigation. it's good. we'll probably have more answers and i mean more. we know it's better because everyone's worried. like we still don't know what happened. what caused it? was the school at fault? were there any preexisting conditions? what happened during that day? dublin police performed cpr on the toddler, but he died at the hospital. in a statement, dublin police services say all members of the building kids school cooperated with investigation, calling the incident tragic but not criminal. nicolotti still

feels safe taking his child to the school. it's been good. they've always been helpful taking care of kids. the department of social services is investigating but says they can't comment further. the department has investigated five complaints since 2024, including one hours before the boy became unconscious. diaz says an official was there that day investigating an unrelated complaint. the facility was operating without enough staff. they ultimately determined there was no proof of the allegation. despite a handful of complaints in the last year, only two resulted in citations. the facility was cited last june for lack of supervision after a child was injured in the play yard. in a statement, building kids says in part, we have a clear, defined process for safety, which is of the utmost importance we have and continue to cooperate with all state and local authorities. we provided comprehensive video footage of the incident and have supported

all investigations in dublin. velena jones, nbc bay area news. a deadly r-v fire investigation in the south bay right now. it happened around 1030 this morning on kiley boulevard near saratoga avenue in san jose. firefighters say the flames spread from the rv to some trees. crews were able to put out the fire and prevent it from spreading to nearby buildings, but one person was killed. san jose mayor matt mahan released a statement saying in part, quote, the situation on our street sadly took another life today. our failure to take urgent, bold action to address homelessness costs lives and takes a toll on our first responders, both on resources and morale. all right, one by one, federal immigration agents cuffed and removed people who showed up for hearings with immigration judges in the bay area today. by our count, ice agents detained at least eight people in san francisco and concord. nbc bay sergio quintana was at the courthousee in san francisco. he joins us now live and sergio you say you saw a man

who had just come out of court who had seen a judge, and still that person got cuffed? yeah. this afternoon i was on the fourth floor lobby complex when i watched a man walk out of just having his hearing, and he walked into the lobby and then walked out to try to get into one of the elevators. and that's when a team of five ice agents surrounded him and took him into custody. cabrillo street, this is rodrigo. minutes before he was walked out of the immigration court building in downtown san francisco. he had just appeared before a judge. when he left the courtroom, a team of five agents surrounded him and took him into custody for the first time. we had ice officers on several floors of the courtroom, arresting people, detaining people who were applying for asylum, who were doing what they were obligated to do under the law. this is cesar. he tells us he's from colombia. cesar and rodrigo are two of four people we saw detained like this in san francisco. but it didn't just happen in the city. at immigration court in concord,

the same scene played out. immigrant advocates say a team of ice agents took four people into custody. all four people that was arrested, they were punjabi speakers. immigration attorneys say today's actions seem to be a change in strategy by federal agents. over the last couple of weeks, government attorneys have been trying to dismiss cases before a judge, and if they're successful, that's when agents would make detentions. what's happening today is different because in some of today's arrests, judges have not been dismissing their cases and people are being detained anyway, according to a prepared statement from the department of homeland security, people who entered the u.s. within the last two years are subject to expedited removals. i've been practicing in the san francisco immigration court for over 20 years. the only time i've seen ice make detentions at court is when there was a serious national security risk, terrorism threats, someone with a severe criminal history. san francisco resident jordan takano saw one of the detentions in progress and started taking video. it's a completely different story. if they're

caught doing illegal driving or illegal activities, but they're going to court, they're following the process. i don't know what else we're supposed to be doing in court today. one of the judges noted an unusually high number of no shows. immigration attorneys worry these operations by ice agents are going to further scare people away from exercising their legal rights. and immigration attorneys tell us that their concern is if someone doesn't show up for their hearing and then somehow come into contact with law enforcement in the future, it will be easier for immigration and customs enforcement agents to detain them d then deport them. reporting live in san francisco. i'm sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. okay. thank you. sendhil. another reminder in case you know someone that is detained or questioned by ice officers, it is important to people to know their rights. the immigration institute of the bay area has created red cards as a reminder of what your rights are and how you exercise them. you can keep one with you wherever you go. they're available in

eight different languages, including tagalog, korean, and farsi. you can go to our home page, download, print one out, scan the qr code on your screen and it will take you right there. an arrest in a san francisco murder that happened almost a year ago last june. a man was shot and killed in dolores park. tonight, san francisco police say they have a suspect in custody. police say they found the suspect over the weekend on mission street near the salesforce tower. they say he resisted arrest and was carrying a gun and a knife. he faces several charges, including homicide. the suspect is not being identified because police say he was under the age of 18 when that shooting happened. they call it a double punch. first, they were swept out of the san jose encampment, where they lived for four years. then they went back to find temporary housing they lived in and paid for. rent was stolen. our marianne favro is in san jose with the story you'll see only on nbc bay area. it has a lock system. this is a micro shelter. you can sleep in it and lock it when you're gone. for the past two years, rei has lived in a

micro shelter near coleman avenue in san jose until heas forced to leave during a city sweep last week and returned to find his home gone, apparently stolen. i didn't like that at all. that was not right, especially to his veterans, the people that are here, they're elderly people and some of them they don't. they have ssi, social security, but it's hard finding housing right now. this was our best option. rei says he pays rent $11 a month for his micro shelter, and simply shelter has provided him with a new unit to replace his stolen one. the agency's executive director confirmed four micro shelters were apparently stolen. two were later found in other areas and brought here to a new location off hedding street. lawrence says he's glad his home was eventually found, but says it was badly damaged. it was frustrating, he says. a solar panel on his unit that he relied on to charge his cell phone was destroyed, and his wiring for

lights cut. this micro shelter was also recovered with the solar panel and wheels removed. it was really disappointing because, i mean, it's not that, it's just nothing. it's like their home. it's what they pay rent for. rei says he's planning on filing a police report, but right now he's focused on setting up his new shelter. after the setback. it's our place to live in san jose. marianne favro, nbc bay area news. the u.s. state department is asking embassies to temporarily stop taking new student visa appointments. the request comes while the agency works to expand its vetting process. it plans to start screening and vetting applicants social media accounts before granting a new student visa. it is unclear how those accounts will be screened, though the state department is asking for embassies to wait for more guidance on this new process. this comes after the trump administration revoked thousands of student visas and tried to stop harvard from accepting international students. civil rights office at the u.s. department of education is

investigating cal poly humboldt. the office claims the university has not taken enough steps to stop a, quote, hostile environment for jewish students. this comes after a few complaints over protests against the war in gaza. one incident includes a student shouting at jewish students. cal poly humboldt is just one of 60 universities across the country being investigated for anti-semitic discrimination. humboldt's interim president says the university is working with investigators to make sure the entire campus feels safe. a big shift in covid vaccine recommendations. the cdc will no longer recommend that healthy children and pregnant women get the covid shot. it's a change by new health and human services secretary robert kennedy jr. some doctors worry about what that will mean for their patients. nbc bay area's ian cull explains. hi everybody. i'm robert f kennedy jr. in a video posted to x today, hhs secretary robert f kennedy jr made the announcement on covid vaccines. as of today, the covid vaccine

for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the cdc recommended immunization schedule. he says the biden administration's previous guidelines lacked clinical data. some doctors say the one minute social media video doesn't offer any evidence. by removing that recommendation from a respected organization like that, you know, we're we're, i think, starting to tread into some dangerous territory. doctor melissa adrian says when pregnant women get the covid vaccine, there are benefits for the baby. and we've seen real world data. you know, we all remember 2020, and we've seen that vaccination during pregnancy can severely cut down on maternal morbidity and mortality, specifically, outcomes like icu admissions, preterm divery. law professor dori rice says rfk jr is circumventing the cdc and the advisory committee on vaccines. first, they ignored the procedures and didn't go through a deliberative process. and second, they didn't explain it

very well. and administrative agencies are required to explain what they do. she fears that the covid shot is no longer recommended for healthy kids and pregnant women. insurance companies won't cover it, but she thinks legal challenges to this could overturn the move. is the decision can prevent people from having access to the vaccine if insurance companieses st back, so people who are denied coverage may bring legal lawsuit and they have a very good chance of winning. still, the administration says it's the right decision. it's common sense and it's good science. there's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most countries have stopped recommending it for children. all of this comes as a new covid variant that is sweeping through china is being monitored by the w.h.o. while there are only a handful of cases in the u.s, stanford scientists confirmed an infection in california, and the variant is said to be highly transmissible. ian cull nbc bay area news. up next, california changes the rules for student

athletes as president trump threatens to cut funding. the impact on trans kids and upcoming championship. plus a south bay cold case one step closer to being solved. the details we're learning as the search continues for a killer. i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. fog is making a big comeback here tomorrow morning and that's going to cool our temperatures. we'll show you more about that. also, the big heat on

solved tonight, the santa clara county district attorney's office is revealing the name of that victim. vivian moss. she was 54 years old and a grandmother when she was killed. police found a dismembered torso in an empty field back in 1981, but the remains were unidentified until now. when the cold case team used genealogy mapping, investigators hope this

new information will lead to her killer. governor newsom spoke in san francisco this evening after president trump attacked him in california on his truth social platform. earlier today, newsom appeared at the bay area silicon valley summit, which brings together top tech, political and higher ed leaders. the governor said he is proud to represent california in these troubled times, because the people here accomplished great things under pressure. he bly talked t president tru's threat to deny falcation fundingcalifornia. newsom said statements like that make it more challenging to work with the white house, but he says he'll try when he can. but he'll so hold the administration's feet to the fire on significant issues. we filed 22 lawsuits now against the trump administration, but also tries to find common ground, open hand, not a closed fist, and i made that very clear when i went out in the tarmac to meet with president trump, followed up with a conversation with him that night. the next morning. president trump's former spokesperson, kellyanne conway,

kicked off the summit this year. she agreed to be effective. the governor and bay area mayors should work with the president on issues that they agree on first, before confronting him on divisive topics. organizers said they hope to shake things up and generate interest in the conference by inviting conway. well, as we mentioned, the president is threatening to withhold federal funding to california and its over a transgender athlete competing in the state's high school track and field finals this weekend. and it's prompting some big changes already. the president posted the threat on social media, calling the transgender athletes participation totally demeaning to women and girls, and he said he would speak to governor newsom today. at tonight's summit, newsom said he had not yet heard fromm presidet trump. but hours after the president's post, the governing board for california high school sports announced it is changing the competition rules. the california interscholastic federation, or cif, announced a new pilot entry process. it

allows for biological female athletes to compete if they were displaced from qualifying by a trans athlete. and as of now, the change only applies to this weekend's competition. governor newsom office clarified that the policy means transgender students will be scored separately, meaning there could now be three first place winners in an event one biological boy, one biological girl and one trans athlete. governor newsom has previously called trans athletes competing in women's sports unfair. today, his office called the policy a reasonable, respectful way to navigate the complex issue. the championships are happening this friday and saturday in the city of clovis. san francisco zoo passed its most recent inspection by the usda. according to the zoo, usda inspectors came to the facility last week. the z says they found no issues and that it is fully compliant with all federal animal welfare regulations. back in october, the city's animal control and welfare commission released its report, saying the 95 year old facility was

extremely outdated and unsafe for visitors and animals. this comes amid concerns about the zoo's leadership and the well-being of animals and staff. the zoo, by the way, is preparing to welcome a pair of giant pandas from china in april of next year. one of the bay area's most iconic landmarks is marking a birthday today. happy birthday to the golden gate bridge. it is 88 years old today. construction started back in 1933. it officially opened may 27, 1937. but when the bridge first opened, there were no cars allowed. the first day was a special pedestrian day so people could walk across the bridge. and this is the souvenir pass from that day. bridge officials say it had about 15,000 visitors an hour that day, with everyone paying $0.25 to cross. now it costs over $9 to cross the golden gate bridge. that's if you have a fast track pass. it goes up from there. upkeep is a little more expensive the older you get. i was going to say it never ages. yeah, it's got a crew. like

every day of the year, right? takes more, takes more. yeah. wow. our weather back here across the bay area, we have that cool, foggy breeze going across the golden gate bridge right now. and that's going to give us a little bit of relief tomorrow. but hang on. we are in for a wild ride this week, including temperatures near 100. as we look right now at the current numbers, you can see how things are dropping after getting into some 80s across the inland valleys. we're now down to 70 here in santa rosa. so very pleasant. 79 here in livermore, 72 in san jose, 60 at the coastline. concord still managing to hold on to 83, but everyone drops anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees tomorrow. as we have this system off towards the south, it's going to continue that fog at the coast. so even though there's hot, hot weather in the four corners, it's going to have a hard time really taking a grip tomorrow because of that fog. so a little early warning here as you're headed off tomorrow morning. likely won't need the sunglasses here with some widespread low clouds. chance of some spotty drizzle. but then for the afternoon, the

sun comes out. for most of us, except for san francisco and the coastal areas, maybe also near the bay. we could see some of that fog lingering for us. so this will have temperatures back down into the 50s to start with. 53 here in the south bay, 52 in the tri-valley, and very similar numbers here, north bay, san francisco and the east bay. so we start like that. but a decent warmup for tomorrow down here across the south bay. it's going to bring us back up into the 70s here. 78 in san jose 79, morgan hill 75 back towards cupertino, out here to the east bay close to the water with that bay breeze. it's going to be chilly in oakland 66. but over those east bay hills, 79 in concord, also upper 70s in pleasanton, through the coastline and the peninsula. this is going to be our coolest widespread zone here in our microclimates. 58 and half moon bay. and then you're only at 69. redwood city, san francisco, also part of that chilliest zone of weather, 58 in the marina and 67 in the mission and across the north bay, 79 in

napa and 72 in novato. after tomorrow, we start to see those temperatures rise, and we're really looking at some of the hottest weather once we hit friday and saturday's forecast from this strong area of high pressure that's going to be building in. so that brings us the heat. but here's the other thing. the system to the south of us likely going to bring up some thunderstorm chances here, primarily to southern california. the other layer on this is we may actually get our first tropical system of the season for the pacific developing, and that would likely bring in some tropical moisture close to southern california. now, all of this right now looks to stay away from us, but i'm keeping a close watch because tropical moisture can sometimes certainly be a little bit erratic. so we're going to monitor that extremely closely. right now it's dry here on friday, but we're going up to a warmer 77 in san francisco. and we're down to 68 on sunday. and for the inland valleys, we're at 99 on friday, 94 saturday and 85 on sunday. so at

least it's not a heat wave. we should get in and out of this pretty quickly here. and next week we'll be back to some spring weather. it's a bump. yeah. there you go. all right. thank you jeff. up next, the bears biggest city could hit pause on new smoke shops. the reason whywhen we come,

on smoke shops. the proposa would create a temporary moratorium preventing new smoke shops from opening anywhere in the city. supporters say there are just too many of the businesses already in san jose,

especially in east san jose. many near schools. they say the latino community in east san jose is being disproportionately exposed to tobacco and vape products, which is a public health issue. the proposed ban goes before the san jose's rules committee tomorrow. meta is shaking up its ai strategy. that's according to axios, which obtained an internal memo written by meta's chief product officer. the memo says meta is splitting its ai department into two teams. the ai products team will focus on consumer facing projects like ai features on facebook or instagram and whatsapp. the aguilar foundations unit will cover a range of technology, including the tech that allows you to talk to ai. meta is hoping splitting up the teams will speed up product development. no jobs are being cut. take a look inside the control room at rockefeller center. lester holt is getting ready for nightly news and one of the top stories. a high stakes showdown in court today as top new york officials fight to save the nation's first
