6:00 pm
have a lot. we some have lived there for years. but where will they go next? also, here's a new twist. immigration enforcement and those masked agents. the new push to change how officers from all agencies operate here in california. and how about this trump mobile? yes, it could be coming soon. the president's business arm unveiling a phone plan and a new gold covered smartphone. our scott budman has the details. the news at six starts right now. good evening, and thanks for being with us on this monday. i'm raj mathai. and i'm gia vang. one of san jose's largest encampments. got much smaller today. crews spent much of the day sweeping out people living near columbus park. it comes despite big objections from advocates for the unhoused. nbc bay area's marianne favro was there, and she was the first reporter there. as crews got to work. you can see here that city
6:01 pm
crews are tearing down lean to shelters, taking down tents. about 200 people are estimated to live in this encampment, and many tell us ey now have no idea where they'll live next. as city crews began tearing down makeshift structures, those who live here near columbus park scrambled to grab their belongings and move out. they told me that we got ten minutes to get our stuff out. kira mario hernandez says he lost his livelihood in the sweep. he says the merchandise he sells at flea markets is now gone, leaving him with only the few items he was able to quickly stuff in a trash can. an estimated 200 people live here, some say for several years now. they find themselves once again on the move with no clear destination. shaun white, who is among the unhoused, tells us he's recovering from back surgery and dealing with other medical issues. he says watching
6:02 pm
crews destroy his home is frustrating. i lived here for two years and i'm going to be downtown on the sidewalk like everybody else. in an interview last week, san jose mayor matt mahan said the city would do its best to help those displaced during the sweep. we abate encampments for public safety reasons all the time. we can't always offer housing or shelter. we do our best to coordinate large abatements with offers of shelter and other services. the city says it plans to add another 800 shelter beds by the end of the year, but without those beds available now, many here question why they're being removed now. it's just really very frustrating because, like i said, we mind our own business. we do. we don't cause no trouble. once the sweep is complete, the city plans to turn this area back into a community park with soccer fields and picnic tables, and are also turning their sights toward another nearby encampment. this section of columbus park is
6:03 pm
expected to be swept by the city next month. in san jose, marianne favro nbc bay area news. in less than 24 hours, president trump and governor newsom will clash in court yet again. it's over the national guard being deployed in california during the anti ice protests. attorney general rob bonta says the troops could be used elsewhere, and that local law enforcement is already handling the situation. in court papers, president trump says military forces would be used strictly to protect federal personnel and federal buildings. the ninth circuit court of appeals will hold a hearing tomorrow afternoon in san francisco. a controversial proposal by california lawmakers in response to these recent immigration enforcement policies today. state senator scott wiener and jesse arreguin announced the no secret police act. they announced it outside of san francisco city hall. it's a push to require law enforcement, including federal agents, to show stronger identification, like uniforms or
6:04 pm
other identifiers. the bill would also ban them from covering their faces. now, federal agents, including ice agents, are primarily bound by federal immigration law. no state law when performing their do so. this legislation faces an uphill battle. we have those state versus federal interactions, and that's certainly an issue here that will be, you know, will be a topic of conversation. but we you know, we think it is important for california to step up to protect public safety and the safety of our communities. the proposal comes after a weekend of nationwide protests against the president's policies, including immigration. opponents of the bill argue ice agents have already faced harassment and doxing, and that covering their face protects both themselves and their families. the bill is expected to face a final vote by september 15th. not backing down, senator alex padilla says he'll continue to raise questions about the president and his administration. the democrat is pushing back against
6:05 pm
the administration's version of what led up to this scene right here last week, when federal agents forcibly removed him from a news conference and put him in handcuffs. homeland security claims agents thought he was an attacker who burst into the room, but the senator says he was there for 5 to 10 minutes before that incident you're watching and that he just wanted to ask secreta noem why troops were in la. we're going to continue to raise our voices. we're going to continue to shed light because i'm doing my job asking questions, obtaining information, holding this administration accountable. meanwhile, the partizan debate over what happened continues with the republican speaker of the house now suggesting congress should formally censure the senator for his actions. as people across the bay area celebrate pride month, an act of vandalism outside of a church in the east bay is angering. and upsetting a lot of people. someone vandalized the church's pride banner. nbc's jodi hernandez spoke with members of
6:06 pm
the lgbtq community who say it's simply the sign of the times. one of the things that we are unequivocal about in my congregation is that people of all genders, all orientations, are absolutely welcome here. that's the philosophy of pleasant hills church of the resurrection, where everyone is welcome. so when the priest discovered someone slashed the church's pride banner on saturday, it was jarring. initially, i had hoped that it was just maybe the wind had broken them. but when i came closer, i saw that it was definitely the work of a knife. had been lots of curves. it was. it was clearly a violent act. reverend liz tickner says she was hurt that someone would take aim at the lgbtq community, but not altogether surprised she says there's been a shift in the cultural climate. this kind of hatred is condoned, maybe even encouraged in a way that has not
6:07 pm
been acceptable. and i'm frankly horrified that this can happen here. it's just like, when does it end? you know, when does the hatred end? robin kuslits, past president of concord's rainbow community center, says the lgbtq community feels under attack. from sports to military service, she says the community is under fire. i think during our time right now, politically, i think it's something we expect at this point. reverend titchener's congregation cheered when they learned how the priest immediately reacted. she and her kids went right to work repairing the banner with rainbow tape and a white sharpie. what we believe is that god loves everyone and that there is space for everyone and duct tape and love go a long way in pleasant hill. jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. shot and killed while walking
6:08 pm
his dog. san leandro police are investigating the city's first homicide of the year. someone found the man around 830 saturday morning. he was lying on his back with his dog still leashed to his hand. it happened in the area of euclid avenue and east 14th street, a mostly commercial area. investigators say they don't have any information regarding a possible motive, but do not believe there's an ongoing threat to the community. well, thankfully, homicides are not very common in san leandro. this is the first homicide of the year. last year we had four and i think six the year before that. so, you know, we average maybe about 4 to 5 homicides a year. so these are not common occurrences. police have not identified the man but say he appeared to be in his 40s. the victim's dog did not appear to be injured and was taken to a temporary shelter. up next, a popular san francisco bakeryry, broken into the unique
6:09 pm
way thieves got into the business in the castro. plus, the second whale to wash ashore in contra costa county in a matter of days. what we're learning about a disturbing trend in the bay area. and right now, 76 degrees in walnut creek. but later this week, we could be seeing the return of 90s in the forecast there. how long? the heat sticks around when we come right back. tonight we'll show you the arsenal of weapons police say they found connected to the suspect who targeted those politicians in minnesota. and the woman who says she spotted him and called police. plus, the revolt over tourists in europe. protesters even spraying visitors with water
6:10 pm
eczema... isn't always obvious. eczema isn't always red, but now eczema isn't always going to stop you, with ebglyss. ebglyss is a once monthly treatment to help those with moderate to severe eczema
6:11 pm
find real itch relief and real results. like skin that's still more clear at one year. don't use if you're allergic to ebglyss. allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. eye problems can occur. tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. you should not receive a live vaccine when treated with ebglyss. before starting ebglyss, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. skin that's still more clear even at one year? clearly, it's possible with ebglyss. talk to your doctor about ebglyss for eczema. a trump branded phone. we don't know what it's going to look like, but the product shown on
6:12 pm
the company website or the website appears to be an iphone. but a news release says the smartphone will be an android. starting price about 500 bucks. the trump organization also says it's going to sell you, or try to sell you a phone plan to compete with at&t and verizon. that phone plan reportedly will cost $47.45 per month. a reference to him being the 47th and 45th president. we reached out to the trump organization for comment, but did not hear back. if this is seen as a signal of allegiance and support, i suspect that when we have if we end up having a product rather than an announcement, then we might start seeing those phones in congress and that the privacy and security implications at that point would be truly severe. okay. there's a whole lot of questions here about what's happening. our business and tech reporter scott budman here. so we have trump bible, trump hats, trump steaks, trump a lot of things a phone. now is
6:13 pm
it within the legal pararameters here to do this. yeah. you know those questions have been asked a long time since 2016. and yeah, we've been seeing bibles. we've been seeing shoes now phones. apparently it is because there is this family organization. so there is a little distance, but it's a trump branded phone. it's called the t one, due out sometime in september. and interestingly enough, as you said yourself, raj on the website, that's clearly an iphone, but it looks like an iphone android phone, right? so they're not giving away what it's going to look like yet. okay, so you said android. so is it surprising that it's going to be running and operating on this android or, you know, a little bit only because it's interesting. there was a lot of back and forth between apple and trump that seemed friendly. tim cook, the ceo, donated $1 million to the inauguration after trump's election. apple said we will pledge $500 billion to do business in america. a lot of back and forth, but they're still back and forth, apple said. we won't make the iphone in america. we're going to make it in china and india. president trump very angry on that. on social media. this could be a
6:14 pm
shot across the bow against apple. who knows. but who knows about any of this at this point? can he take a little market share away from you? we mentioned four companies there apple, google, at&t, verizon. in terms of the phone plans, can he take even just a little chunk of their business here? the guess is a little chunk, not a whole bunch. but he does have a really strong base of supporters who will buy certain things. look at the cryptocurrency that his family is selling that's selling very well. i don't think the shoes are selling well or the bibles, to be honest, are selling well. but a phone, maybe it would be a status symbol to say i'm part of maga, i'm part of this group. i believe in this. i'm loyal to the president. whether you're a politician or just a supporter. and so i imagine some of this will sell. and at 4.99, that's actually a pretty decent price for a fully functional smartphone these days. and once the expected debut this september, september, we'll be talking to see we'll be talking to you in september. absolutely. thanks, scott. thank you scott. let's move on now. the owners of a popular french bakery in san francisco say they've been broken into again. in fact, by
6:15 pm
their count, this is the seventh time they've been broken into in the castro since the beginning of the pandemic. here's nbc's sergio quintana, the co-owner of le marais cafe, says their castro neighborhood location is one of their most popular. unfortunately, it's been a favorite target for burglars to, patrick says friday night's culprits got in using a method he hasn't seen before. i don't know how they did, but the glass was basically melted and then they broke through the glass and took the tablets and left. as corso says, he does have security cameras inside the restaurant, but it was too dark to see anyone once they got in. they say part of the frustration is how many times their business has been targeted. in fact, one of the reasons why this weekend's bandits didn't make off with more than tablets is because during the last break-in several months ago, the thieves stole their basement safe. over the last several months, the police and mayor have noted the drop in crime in the city. but that's not easy to digest for people who are victims of crimes that keep happening. david burke
6:16 pm
is the police liaison for supervisor rafael mandelman. he says the best way to prevent these incidents is to make businesses tougher to break into, and make it easier for the police to identify the culprits, make it more difficult for people to come back and do this again. and some of those things are as simple as better lighting, cameras and burglar alarms, we're told. replacing the tempered glass window at the castro street location will cost hundreds of dollars and take a while. the cafe owners are also considering adding wood shutters, like the ones at their sutter street location, which seem to be helping there. for the last two years we have not had one. wow. so effective. yeah, they have been very effective. yeah, we're in the past. we will have this window broken, you know, every every six months. he's just checking with the landlord at the castro location to make sure they can do it in san francisco. sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. we showed you this before. it is sad. it seems like it's happening all too often. a second dead gray whale has washed ashore in richmond. this latest one showed up on saturday. this comes after
6:17 pm
another one was discovered two days ago, just about 100m away at richmond's point isabel regional shoreline. marine mammal experts say about 20 whales have washed up dead in the bay area this year. they say several of them were likely struck by ships or other vessels. this week. researchers are performing necropsies to determine how the whales died. well, fire crews are gaining the upper hand on a brush fire burning in sunol right now. the sunol mission fire sparked around two this afternoon near mission and andrade roads. the fire has burned at least 70 acres but is now 25% contained. good news firefighters say forward progress has stopped. no homes or structures were threatened. okay, rob mayeda is. weekend? we can look forward to. yeah, we're e excited because it'll be the first weekendf summer, right? there we go. we got some cooler temperatures on the way later this week. but speaking of summer, we're going to see a warm up coming in over
6:18 pm
the next couple of days. 80s and 90s back in reach for the valley starting as early as tomorrow. after today was a little bit of a cooldown around the bay area right now. comfortable 71 degrees in san jose and wind generally 15 to 20mph. similar wind speeds and temperatures as you head over to walnut creek. this is likely to be one of the cooler evenings we see. this time. tomorrow i think we'll be seeing 80s and then by wednesday, good chance of low 90s around walnut creek. san rafael right now 68 degrees wind directions out of the southeast. that's bringing in some of that cooler air up from the bay into the north bay. and notice san francisco still stuck in the 50s. it's sunny out there, but it's not exactly warm when that wind out of the west at 16mph, is moving over ocean water temperatures, which are still about 53 degrees west of the golden gate. so you can see the footprint of 50s and 60s, that ocean air conditioning effect that we're seeing around the bay, mostly 70s inland today. but as these wind speeds back off a little bit across our inland areas, and that marine
6:19 pm
air kind of gets compressed back down towards the bay, that will lead to a rise in temperatures for tomorrow. also notice sunny skies in san francisco. no low clouds along the coast. we're likely to be low cloud free as we start off the morning with sunny skies even on the coast. hazy sunshine inland. so tomorrow the trend begins with 50s in the morning, and then by around noon, we're starting to break out to some low 80s in those east bay valleys, mid 80s to upper 80s in reach around the north y. interior portions of the east bay, still 60s and 70s from san francisco to oakland. but here you go. look at wednesday 70s and 80s, bayside, mid 80s around downtown san jose, and 90s in reach, around the tri-valley up towards the north bay and morgan hill. and just like that, as we look forward to next weekend, we've got some cooling changes. the wind picks back up, temperatures drop down. and not just that, we're measuring rainfall here to start summer. look at that. by saturday a chance of some rain up here in the north coast. north of shasta north of 80. may see a few isolated showers, but
6:20 pm
closer to the bay area. this is going to reinforce the cooling pattern, which arrives on thursday. takes us into the weekend. showers missing us, but the cooling will not as we head into the weekend, so this two day warm up eventually takes us to the 70s, or close to it around san francisco on wednesday. then we drop back down and valley temperatures feeling more like summer, certainly by wednesday, with more 90s in reach. and then we cool down as we head into next weekend. summer officially rolling in friday evening, same time as that big giants game. then we got a nice weekend ahead with 70s and 80s. as we head towards saturday and sunday. the giants red sox here on nbc, a good one to watch in our new player, will be in uniform as well. thanks, rob. up next, protecting firefighters not from the flames necessarily, but from what they're wearing on the job. a bay area lawmaker looking to find a safer
6:21 pm

6:23 pm
firefighters, not necessarily from smoke and flames, but from the uniforms they wear. cancer is the leading cause of death among firefighters, but the international association of firefightersays there's evidence that shows some of those cancers are caused by the harmful chemicals in their uniforms. last year, our investigative unit here at nbc reported on how those chemicals are believed to have firefighters in san francisco. the chemical in question is known as pfas. it's found in heavy jacket and pants that
6:24 pm
helps repel flames and resist extreme heat. they can be harmful when absorbed through the skin. as firefighters, we accept the risks that come with the job. we knew about building collapses. we knew about smoke. we knew about the fire. but we never knew that our turnout gear was laced with pfas chemicals. the very equipment that we use to keep others safe is making us sick. last year, san francisco banned those so-called forever chemicals in firefighter turnouts uniforms. those uniforms have to be replaced now by next year. as for the state bill, if it moves out of the assembly, the senate will vote on it in the coming weeks and could become law next year. assuming that happens, the ban on those so-called forever chemicals in firefighter uniforms will go into effect in 2027. all right, let's take a look in downtown san jose. tomorrow, city council members will formally adopt the plan to install five new digital billboards. they approved that plan in february. the new
6:25 pm
displays are expected to go up at the center for performing arts, the mcenery convention center, and two parking garages. they'll also remain dark from midnight to 6 a.m. it's expected to generate an estimated $20 million in revenue over the next two decades. well, it's hard to think about summer fun when you're feeling the squeeze of higher prices. nearly three quarters of people are worried that prices are rising faster than their incomes. that's according to a recent survey by aarp. but there may be places to save a little cash. experts say it starts with taking a little time to really look at your bank and credit card statements, and also looking at your subscriptions. are you using them all? experts say you should also compare your mobile plans against others. sign up for loyalty plans where you actually shop, and unsubscribe from retailers where you don't. and if you're looking for a big item, shop those holiday sales. up next here at 6:00. not what you'd expect to see at your hotel. look at that. the six
