over the california national guard in la is before a judge. right now in san francisco, president trump got the most recent significant victory, an appeals court ruling just

yesterday. what we know about the developments at this hour, as the vice president heads to california. thanks for joining us for our midday news. i'm kris sanchez. laura and marcus are off. vice president jd vance is in the air this midday, headed toward the golden state. and he is expected to touch down around 2:00 this afternoon in los angeles. the vice president is expected to to federal facilities, including a mobile command center. he's also marines. his visit comes as more than 4000 national guard troops are now in la. his trip comes as we are following brand new developments in the battle over control of those troops. this after a legal setback allowing control of the national guard in la to remain with president trump. a setback for governor newsom, of course. nbc bay area's ginger conejero saab joins us from the federal courthouse in san francisco with a new twist from the judge. good

morning. ginger. yeah, good morning chris. a pretty new and surprising twist. the judge in this case, a district court judge, justice charles breyer, announced just minutes ago that he will not hear arguments toy, which is something that was expected towards a preliminary injunction in this case. instead, he asked attorneys from both sides to submit briefs explaining why or what his jurisdiction is under the posse comitatus act, which was not discussed yesterday in the appeals court decision. there are a lot of legal intricacies here, but i want to break it down. simply put, we've been talking about a temporary restraining order. this is the request that was filed by governor gavin newsom and other state leaders last week. judge breyer decided on that case. he issued a tro. an appeals court in the ninth circuit put a stay on that tro pending appeal. that is what we've been covering and monitoring up until now. today there was supposed to be a hearing, but that, again is on hold. and we're just seeing some of those attorneys walk out at

this point. now, last night talking about that ruling from the judges, the judges ruled unanimously that the president did not overstep his authority in deploying the national guard. the state argued that president trump failed to adequately communicate the deployment, but judges ruled thahat governor newsom has no power to veto or countermand the president's order. their decision reads both irreparable harm and public interest weigh in favor of defendants who have an uncontested interest in the protection of federal agents and property, and the faithful execution of law. now, today, the state was looking for a preliminary injunction, which would have far reaching consequences than a tro the merits of their argument today. you may think, you may think will be similar, but we have yet to tell. the judge had a busy caseload this morning, so this case was scheduled to be heard at ten, but it started much later. what are the implications for the public? that is the big question as well. the national guard will stay putn los angeles. the stay on the tro will remain in effect until an

appeals process is resolved. so the state has a big decision to make on how they will pursue this injunction. i guess both sides as well. but again, just coming down minutes ago, the judge will not hear arguments today. he will wait for briefs to be submitted on monday, and then he'll rule as to where to go from there. and that hopefully will give clarity as to where his jurisdictionies as well. we're live in san francisco, ginger conejero saab nbc bay area news. i mean, it speaks to the complexity, ginger, that even the judge is like, where is the jurisdiction in this case? so we'll be following this all weekend long. thank you so much. well, here's a live look i walnut creek right now. and there, as in much of the bay area, there are gusty winds and dry conditions. and in some cases, some folks are experiencing those public safety power shut offs. this is the live map showing where those outages are being felt. we're talking about remotereas of alameda county, contra costa and santa clara counties. hundreds of customers are feeling that impact. in some cases,

firefighters are keeping extra close eye on areas with high fire risk, while residents in those areas, some of them have no power. we brief our crews. everyone is aware of the fire danger. i went out and got water and food, and a friend of mine brought over a generator and so that i could get because run well and so get the well going and yeah, so but luckily i'm close enough to downtown that it's not that big of a deal. you take that tap water for granted. pg&e says power shut offs are possible through the weekend, as long as those conditions persist. and we've been talking with cinthia pimentel morning, long. and you say that those conditions are going to stick around for a while. yeah. and as you guys have shown that map throughout the morning, it looks like more areas got into those purple colors with the psps warning. and it is windy out there as we take a live look right now throu our fremont camera, we see the flag there in the wind. so breezy there through the bay shore. but even gustier as we take it on into our hilltops for the inland

valleys. so areas to watch there through concord and mount diablo, the delta also through the livermore valley, the altamont pass, and especially along the coastline that will continue as we go on into tonight around 20, 30, even 40 mile an hour gusts going on into our evening plans and also for saturday morning. so you might hear a little bit of a rattle in your windows as you're trying to get to bed. speaking o saturday morning, we'll go out to parts of solano county and the sacramento valley that are going to be under this fire weather watch as those gusty winds and low humidity continue, at least for the first part of the weekend. we'll talk about when we get a little bit of a reprieve from these gusty winds coming up in my full forecast. kris. all right. thank you cinthia. happening today, the south bay community will come together to remember a teenager who died in a car crash. this is 17 year-old alonzo alvarez, who graduated from christopher high school in gilroy just a week ago and then died just one day later. today, a remembrance ceremony is planned at the high

school's auditorium, followed by a reception. the family is asking that in lieu of flowers, people donate to the christopher high school scholarship fund. the obituary for alonzo describes him as with lots of charisma and infectious smile and a kindhearted nature. he was also an athlete, a volunteer, and a mentor for younger students. just a tragic loss. a live look in san francisco now where happening today, leaders will address a recent string of antisemitic attacks. state senator scott wiener will join the mayor, the district attorney and the city attorney. leaders are raising concerns after a string of incidents like this one, including a vandalism attack targeting the popular manny's restaurant in the mission district, which is a jewish owned business. the case is being investigated as a hate crime. other incidents have included a violent assault in the marina district and verbal harassment. a news conference is scheduled for 1130 this morning at city hall. israel and iran continue to exchange strikes

today, and israel's military said that it targete areas in western iran while a building was hit in the southern israeli city of beersheba. it comes as the world is waiting for president trump to decide whether the u.s. military will levy an airstrike on iran. nbc's matt bradley has the latest from tel aviv. so we just heard the first siren that tel aviv has had in more than the past 24 hours. i don't know if you can still hear their emergency vehicles now are circulating here. according to police here in tel aviv, there has been no direct impacts that have been seen so far from that missile salvo, though it sounds as though the police have seen fragments from interceptions that have fallen, it does sound as though the bulk of the missiles were fired at the northern and central parts of israel. now we understand that two people have been seriously wounded in the northern israeli city of haifa and that there were direct impacts, according to emergency services, on about six different parts of the middle and north of the country.

now, all of this follows as the israelis are continuing their attacks against targets in iran. now, they say that they've been taking out a lot of missile launcher sites. and we heard this from the israelis yesterday. the israeli military said that they had taken out about 200 missile launchers. they said that that's about two thirds of the total, that the iranians have been used to fire these ballistic missiles at israel. now, that stands to reason, as we're starting to see a decrease in the number of projectiles inside of each salvo. but all of this is going on as european diplomats are heading to geneva to meet with their counterpart from iran, the foreign minister there. they're going to try to see if there's any room left to negotiatee a end to iran's nuclear weapons program. matt bradley there. now, this midday, a piece of history is being unveiled at sfo. this is the aids memorial quilt. the idea born in the 1980s, a san francisco artist decided to raise awareness for the ongoing epidemic by making a quilt to remember the people

lost to this disease. mayor daniel lurie helped to unveil the community art piece in the international terminal, and today there are more than 50,000 panels dedicated to more than 100,000 people across the country. that quilt now weighs 54 tons. each panel represents a life, and together, this quilt represents a community. it's coming home to the city where it was born. as travelers from around the world pass through this airport and stopped to look at this quilt, they'll be greeted by a true representation of san francisco's values compassion, acceptance, and courage. the quilt will be displayed at sfo until next year. very moving. starting this weekend. san francisco muni riders. you're going to have to roll with some new service changes. in april, the mta announced 2% service cuts to bridge a budget gap. so as a
