county are still active. no word yet on how this but we, of course, will bring you more information as it comes into our newsroom. right now a four, preparing for protests against president trump, how bay area cities and businesses are getting ready for this weekend's demonstrations. good afternoon. i'm audrey asistio. welcome to this special edition of nbc bay area news. we're on at this hour because of the u. open golf tournament. our sergio quintana is in san francisco with the message from the mayor ahead of tomorrow's major protests. we're also tracking other stories on this friday, including new fallout from alex padilla being pushed out and handcuffed for interrupting the homeland security secretary. what the speaker of the house says should happen. to the california senator, also fearful to show up to work at the farm. our damian trujillo is talking to farm workers about the impact the trump administration's immigration enforcement is having on immigrant laborers.

but let's go ahead and begin with what organizers are promising to be a massive day of demonstrations across the country. they're calling it no kings day. it's to protest the president and certain actions he's taken since being in office. and from the bay area to d.c, hundreds of thousands are expected to hit the streets. so let's go ahead and bring in our sergio quintana live in san francisco for us, where one of those protests will happen tomorrow. okay. it looks like he is on standby for us for now. we will keep in touch with him in just a little bit. well, the protest on saturday will coincide with the 250th anniversary of the u.s. army. the celebration includes a parade in washington, d.c. washington is already closing streets to prepare for tomorrow. trump addressed the protests planned for the same time. i don't feel like a king. i have to go through hell to get stuff approved. no, no, we're not a king. we're not a king at all. we have a moral responsibility to be in the streets, and we

have a legal right to be in the streets, and we will conduct ourselves in a nonviolent way. by the way, tomorrow is also president trump's 79th birthday. well, there is outrage from members of the latino community over the treatment of california senator alex padilla. the league of united latin american citizens held a news conference in texas this afternoon to criticize the security agents who pushed and detained senator padilla. you may have already seen this video. agents surrounded the senator in a department of homeland security news conference yesterday. the senator says he was there peacefully, while the secretary claims the senator did not identify himself beforehand. the head of the league of united latin american citizens says the assault on padilla is an assault on democracy. the image of security agents dragging latino senator from a public event is shockingly similar to what our community individuals are enduring around the country. the

difference is that senator padilla had cameras rolling at the time and our families do not. speaker mike johnson has condemned senator padilla's actions, calling it wildly inappropriate, even going so far as to call for congress to censure him. and that's basically a public reprimand. two women are wanted by the fbi. feds say the women may have assaulted agents earlier this week. this is a look at the first person of interest. the fbi says both women assaulted agents and stole government property on june 10th in concord. it's not confirmed, but this may be tied to the scuffle with agents outside the courthouse. on that same day, protesters were there picketing against ice detainment. and this is the other person of interest. she was wearing a black mask, a black shirt and gray vest at the time. fbi is also offering a reward to find this woman who allegedly assaulted federal officers outside the concord immigration court. the fbi says this woman in the pink hat is believed to have stolen a special agents badge. the agency

is offering up to $25,000 for information that could lead to an arrest. all right, let's go ahead and get back to what organizers are promising to be a massive day of demonstrations across the country. they are calling it no kings day. it's to protest the president and certain actions he's taken since being in office. and from the bay area to washington, dc. hundreds of thousands are expected to hit the streets tomorrow. so let's go ahead and bring in our sergio quintana live in san francisco for us, where one of those protests will happen tomorrow. sergio. so. so how's the city getting ready? well, audrey, i should say, first off, first and foremost, that the organizers of the demonstration here in san francisco and the more than a thousand demonstrations that are planned across the country are that they are supposed to be peaceful demonstrations here in san francisco. it's going to start midday over at dolores park, and then they're going to lead the group here to san francisco civic center. but let me show you some video that we shot a little bit earlier in the day over at union square and downtown. there are business

owners there that are already boarding up their windows in anticipation of tomorrow. now, the reason why they're doing that is because, unfortunately, a couple of the marches that have happened here in san francisco in the last week, the. katharine berkoff. wilshire ward chapel. all right. all right. sergio, you know, businesses are getting ready. they're trying to be safe here. what are the mayor and police chief telling you about tomorrow? okay. it looks like we've lost audio from

sergio quintana, but he is staying on top of everything that's happening in san francisco. a number of rallies, protests and demonstrations are expected to happen throughout the bay area. so we, of course, will keep you updated on that. well, the recent immigration raids have led to fears among national guard troops staying put in los angeles. at least for now. now, this after the federal appeals court blocked a temporary restraining order issued by a district judge who ruled president trump overstepped his authority in deploying u.s. troops. the next hearing is scheduled for tuesday. so this means the national guard will remain on the streets of la at least through the weekend. well, right now, iran continues an unprecedented retaliatory strike against israel, firing hundreds of ballistic missiles into the country. so far, at least seven missiles have gotten through israel's defense shield. this is video of the skies over tel aviv as the iron dome works to shoot

down iranian rockets. the attacks come after israel launched strikes to take out iran's nuclear program. strikes also targeted top military leadership and nuclear scientists. this all comes after months of failed nuclear negotiations between the u.s. and iran. israel says a nuclear armed iran poses a threat to their country. and we did speak with an international relations expert with tel aviv university earlier today. he says the move by israel was prompted after nuclear talks between iran and the u.s. reached a dead end. the iranians will decide when this is over, when they will do their, you know, cost effectiveness analysis. what's more important to them to continue to insist on their so-called right to create nuclear weapons that are designed primarily to destabilize the western world and to annihilate israel, or it's better for them to preserve their regime and to sign an

agreement that president trump proposed. that's really the dilemma. if they will continue to insist on the nuclear program, the pressure will mount. the supreme leader of iran is vowing retaliation. retaliation for the airstrikes. the israeli military says iran has launched more than 100 drones toward israel. iran has long denied it's seeking to develop nuclear weapons. president trump says he is pleased with the manner in which the strikes by israel were conducted. back here at home, outrage in antioch after a woman was caught on camera cutting down a juneteenth sign. happened yesterday morning. video shows the woman using some sort of a sharp object to cut down the sign, promoting the city's annual juneteenth event. today, all that's left are the frame and the ropes used to anchor that sign. this afternoon, community members put up more signs reminding residents about two juneteenth celebrations taking place next thursday. this is why we're here. still making sure signs are getting put it up

so the community knows. we're not frightened. we're not afraid. we're going to continue to do our part to celebrate community. at this point, it just seems that there's a blatant disregard for cultures, individuals, anything that's not like the same and that's causing a lot of challenge. when you, antioch's park and recreation director, says this is actually the third juneteenth sign to disappear in recent weeks, it's not clear if the other two were deliberately taken down. community members are calling on police to identify the woman in the video and hold her accountable. look at this. another whale washes ashore in the bay area. we'll tell you what we're learning about this dead gray whale in contra costa county. and a live look across the bay area this afternoon. another nice day. but what will your father's day weekend look like? chief meteorologist jeff ranieri will have your forecast

among immigrant workers, especially farm workers, where just this week, ice agents chased down farm laborers harvesting crops in ventura county. our damian trujillo has been this for us. damien, i know you have sources out there in the field. what are they telling you? well, audrey, the farm bureau and other agencies in monterey county tell me that there's no shortage of workers in that area yet. but then you go over to the central valley where some of these raids took place, and they're having a significant impact on the labor force there. now they're hoping they can ride this out, and then no major incidents will happen in that part of california. but i spoke to the california farm bureau, i spoke to united farm workers, and they share the same sentiment that if this continues, it's going to have a huge impact on the supply of fruits and vegetables that you see in your grocery store shelves. it will also have a huge impact if there are fruits and vegetables there. you're going to pay a big price for

that, because they're going to have to import those from other parts of the world. and so that is a concern from both the pickers and also the growers in california. let me share a quick anecdote with you about about how these people are feeling out in the fields. when i was eight years old, working, picking onions in soledad, california, i saw the border patrol come from above the hill. and at that point people around me started running. i was born in the u.s. so i looked at my mom, scared, saying, should i run too? she said, no, stay here because you don't need to run. but the look on the faces of the people who were running is something that stuck with me until now. i mean, i'm talking about it, and this is when i was 8 or 9 years old. and so you can imagine the fear and the terror on the faces of those folks who are facing this up and down the state. yeah, it's surely something you definitely won't forget. damien, thank you so much for sharing that with us. and i know this isn't just impacting farmworkers, right? other laborers as well. yeah. i mean, you're talking about construction workers. they're going to work in fear again.

their heads are on a swivel, looking over their shoulder, making sure that they're not going to be falling prey next. and they tell me, one of the consultants for the construction industry tells me that latinos make up 70% of the construction workforce workforce in silicon valley right now, construction is booming. you take some of that workforce weight because either there's rage or they're too afraid to go to work. a huge, significant impact on the construction industry here in silicon valley. you look at some of the restaurant owners, they're suffering through 25% losses in revenue this month alone because of fears. and so it's having a huge impact all across the board surely. all right, damien, thank you so much for that preview. looking forward to your full story later on this evening. another dead whale h washed up along the bay area shoreline, this time in richmond. marine mammal experts say more than a dozen whales have been discovered along the bay area coastline so far this year, as overall whale activity is up along our coast. as nbc bay area's christie smith

explains, people have been stopping by today to take a look, and they certainly have a lot of questions. among the most common is exactly what happened to the whale, and why we've seen so many whale deaths in our area this year. researchers are looking into it. the marine mammal center says the latest whale found is a gray whale subadult, meaning somewhere between a juvenile and adult. the experts also say at this time of the year, they should be feeding further north and their feeding grounds. in total, there have been 19 gray whales found dead along our coast this year, the highest number they've seen in quite some time. they were able to determine about five were related to possible ship strikes, but in many cases they were unable to perform a necropsy, meaning they can't determine a cause. as for this whale in richmond, the plan is to try and tow it to a secure location where they can perform a necropsy in the coming week in richmond. christie smith, nbc bay area news. all right, christie, thank you. i'm here now with chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. jeff, a lot of

people are looking forward to the weekend. there's father's day, of course, and then a lot of people are probably going to take part in those protests we've been talking about. and right now, the weather, it's not going to be too hot here because this system, it's going to help to keep temperatures from getting in the 90s and 100. so i think overall, the result is something where you're going to want to be outside and enjoy. so as we get a look right now, you can see that satellite radar system, the area of low pressure here is well offshore, but it's just basically helping to keep that hottest air back towards the desert southwest. so as we move into tomorrow, you're going to be able to see numbers will continue to drop here out towards walnut creek right now 82 degrees. we have some 70s coming in at six and 7:00 and then some 60s later on tonight out into san francisco 65 right now. and we're dipping down to 50s here, seven, eight and nine. so let's go ahead and get you into tomorrow's forecast. at 7:00 in the morning, we'll see some areas of fog near the bay. and the coast doesn't look that extensive. we'll still have some sunshine for the north bay and the south bay. and then we'll

get some high clouds filtering across as we head through the afternoon. all in all, i think we're coming in with a nice forecast on saturday. we'll start it off with temperatures here in the 50s then. look at this by the afternoon. something for everyone. 50s, 60s, 70s even a few 80s you go to the coastline will be in the chilliest weather up towards napa 78 back here towards concord, 83 down here into san jose. we're at 78. so as you're out and about enjoying this weather, make sure to wear the spf, the hat, the sunglasses. we'll have a powerful uv index of ten tomorrow that's ranking out of 11, which would be the highest. so watch out for that sun. on that 7-day forecast. you can see temperatures will be in the low to mid 80s next couple of days. we'll eventually pop it up to some upper 80s and low 90s as we head into parts of next week. we'll take more looks at this forecast to get you ready for the weekend. coming up at 5:00 tonight. all right jeff sounds good. thank you. all week long we've been celebrating the world's b biggest srting event, coming to the bay area in less than 365 days. and the

festivities continue into the weekend. here's our marcus washington with how you can get in on all the fun. we are now one year out from the 2026 fifa world cup, and tomorrow the countdown to the world cup continues in the south bay. so the bay area hosting committee will open up a soccer village. this is going to be between noon and four at a lot at creekside socials. this is on south montgomery street in san jose. as organizers tell us. the free event will feature the earthquake bay fc oakland roots and oakland soul, the great piece about soccer, actually, is the infusion of soccer with culture. and so with that, you're going to see and walk by a lot of music and vibe and food and just the things that make the, the, the world's game actually really, really unique as it brings different people with different passions together. earlier this week, the bay area hosting committee dedicated an official plaque for the 2026 fifa world cup. levi stadium will host six matches

our warming ocean waters have created an explosion of purple sea urchins off our coast. they may be pretty to look at, but they are wiping out our kelp forests and suffocating the ecosystem. the main way to get rid of them sea stars. that's their biggest predator. but sea stars are dying off. a local man is on a mission to grow sea stars and bring them back to the ocean, to thrive and devour those invasive purple sea urchins. all those stories and more new at five. all right. thanks so much, janelle. we'll see you in a bit. still to come, the rodeo is back in town. we'll take you to livermore, where cowboys and bulls are ready to have some fun.
