separation of powers and the rule of law in striking down the excessive use of nationwide injunctions to interfere with the normal functioning of the executive branch. the constitution's 14th amendment reads that all persons born or naturalized in the united states, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the united states. the president wants to adopt a completely new meaning of the language, giving citizenship to people born in this country only if one of their parents is a citizen or permanent resident. all of this part of his hard line immigration policy. the high court's ruling prompting swift reactions from the plaintiffs who sued to block the president's executive order, now vowing to fight. i announce our intention to file a class action lawsuit to preserve and defend the constitutional rights of all children born to immigrants in this country. the court was divided on ideological lines on the issue, with conservatives in the majority and liberals in dissent. justice ketanji brown

jackson wrote that the decision was, quote, an existential threat to the rule of law. and here on capitol hill, house minority leader hakeem jeffries said that he will continue to fight to protect birthright citizenship. meanwhile, president trump can now turn his attention to his big, beautiful bill, which includes funding for his immigration agenda. ryan nobles, nbc news, washington. all right, ryan, thanks very much. today's supreme court decision raises concerns and confusion for many communities around the bay area, including the family whose relative set the precedent for birthright citizenship. more than 100 years ago. nbc bay area's robert honda says many immigrants are feeling left in limbo. a lot of community groups say the supreme court's decision focusing on the power of judges versus the 14th amendment has created very mixed reactions. the federal immigration agents detaining immigrants in san jose and around the bay area have already created anxiety in the
5:02 pm
community. an attorney for the immigrant support group siren says president trump i is trying to do the same thing in limiting the power of judges to stop his executive orders. siren is reminding the community. while birthright citizenship may have triggered today's ruling, the court didn't rule on birthright citizenship. i think right now, what to do is do not panic. it is not a final decision. what came out today from the supreme court is not saying that birthright citizenship is ending. there was also a stunned reaction from norman wong, grandson of wong kim ark, the san francisco born man whose landmark case actually established birthright citizenship in america more than 100 years ago. wong says everyone took it for granted as a constitutional right. it was nothing. it was just among our other rights. now i see that we're going to have whole
5:03 pm
classes of americans that are totally have no citizenship, no rights, and how are they going to function in this world? if the trump administration were to move forward with unconstitutional actions, unless it's challenged by lawsuit in the jurisdiction where you live, you may not have protections. you may not have recourse. congressman sam liccardo agreed. justice sotomayor had it right. it's a travesty for the rule of law. it severely undermines the separation of powers. i think the pathway for plaintiffs, for litigants in the future is really going to be through class actions. but liccardo acknowledges class action lawsuits are complicated and time consuming, a big disadvantage with the trump administration moving so fast on so many fronts. in san jose, robert honda, nbc bay area news. our team is working on much more coverage of today's supreme court ruling coming g up at 530. political analyst larry gerston will join us. he'll discuss how

the justices decision clears legal hurdles for president trump moving forward, and how opponents might fight back. also, at the u.s. supreme court today, ruling that backs parents who want to pull tir kids from public school lessons that use lgbtq themed storybooks. the high court ruled 6 to 3 that schools likely could not require elementary school students to attend lessons. when parents express a religious objection to the teaching material. the high court's opinion sends the case back to a lower court for a final decision, and that's expected. in the meantime, the maryland school district where the case started must notify parents in advance and give them the option to remove their children from the lesson. pride weekend is kicking into high gear in san francisco, with a series of events leading upo sunday's pride parade, and things got started today, with couples heading to city hall to get married. nbc bay area's christie smith joins us live from near dolores park, where people are beginning to gather for tonight's trans march. and it looks like it's going to be a

5:15 pm
and will aess any next steps to ensure san francisco international airport's trademark is protected. oakland airport officials say they didn't receive a lot of complaints when they made the switch, but sfo said it had heard from passengers who reported major confusion. i probably would not have been happy. that could be confusing. the name change, i understand why, but again, if we're trying to welcome people in, we've got to make it easier. the port of oakland board is expected to take a first vote on the name change on july 10th, and then a final vote two weeks later in oakland. thom jensen, nbc bay area news. funding for hiv prevention is back. the trump administration lifted a freeze on federal funds for hiv programs after backlash from nonprofits, congressional democrats and the public. one organization that's celebrating the return of funds is the los angeles county department of public health. it says it was notified by the cdc yesterday that it had been awarded nearly $20 million for hiv prevention.
5:16 pm
that's up more than $300,000 from last year. if the funding hadn't come through, l.a. county says it would have had to end contracts with 39 providers. inflation is inching higher again, and americans are tightening belts in response. today, the commerce department announced a key inflation gauge moved higher in may, prices up 2.3% from a year ago and up from 2.1% in april. let's dig into the math. when economists took outolatile food and energy prices, core prices rose 2.7% from last year and 2.6% from april. both those numbers are above the federal reserve's target of 2%. meanwhile, families brought home less money and spent less money. incomes dropped 0.4%. spending fell 0.1%. tech giant apple buying another south bay property. it's a $350 million deal, according to documents filed yesterday. the latest purchase is for a two building campus in sunnyvale on north matilda avenue. earlier
5:17 pm
this week, apple paid $167 million for a three building campus in cupertino. in both purchases, apple was leasing the office hubs from real estate firms before buying them. that means apple has spent more than a half $1 billion on santa clara county real estate just this week. okay, she's standing, but she's in the hot seat. vianey weekend weather forecast. it's going to be nice. i mean, it's summer. it's june. we're expecting the warmth. you know, the onshore flow has helped keep some of those temperatures actually below average by, you know, a couple degrees, especially around the coast. but it's going to be where you're headed. that's going to make a difference. because if i show you the camera right now, our sutro tower, look over san francisco. look at the marine layer. this is expected typical june pattern here where we get that nice cooler air settling in. and that's going to stretch into parts of the interior for the morning hours. and walnut creek though one of our warmer locations here, we've got the clear skies and the temperatures still in those 90s even right now. so definitely warm out
5:18 pm
here. look at fairfield 96 inch near that triple digit. not quite in the record highs though. and then of course with that marine layer we keep those 60s and 50s around the coast. the temperature change a bit more significant through the interior. and even though we're not expecting gusty winds, it's still going to be dry. so the concerns for fire danger are still very much real, especially just really over the next several months with the drier weather ahead. now our satellite showcasing that marine layer. but the interior is going to see that high pressure continue to dominate. and over the next couple of hours, here's what to expect as far as the clearing inland, and also how long those coastal clouds are going to linger at around 6:00 into saturday. look at the beach. we've still got those clouds. if you're heading to santa cruz or anything enjoying the outdoors, we're going to keep that cooler pattern around the coast. but the interior. remember i mentioned how it's still going to be really dry. we get beautiful recovery of that humidity overnight, but once we settle into the daytime, we're going to be less than 30% markers for the interior spots. and to pair that with the
5:19 pm
temperatures in the 90s even in through saturday. and as you know, we've got those warm 92 in concord, 88 in san jose. so we're actually going to be a little bit cooler heading into saturday and then into sunday. we're going to maintain those 80s and 90s in the interior, 60s and 70s around the coast. another important factor that we have to look out for is that uv index, right where that sunscreen. but also an important note into the weekend watch those dog paws. please look out for your pets. do not walk them during the peak of the heat. depending on where you are, that can come as early as 1130 12:00, but definitely all the way to about 3:00 4:00 pm. those paws can easily get burned. you want to walk them in the early morning cooling hours or later into the evening, please. and of course wear that spf. the long range. right now we do keep those dry conditions in store really through the first week of july. not expecting to see any big changes here. and this is what your 7-day forecast is going to play out like in san francisco. so we've got those 60s fantastic weather for any events that you've got going on
5:20 pm
outside, that's for sure. whether you're going to be around the coast or a bit warmer inland, we're going to keep some of those 90s. and then if you look ahead into next week, the dry conditions remain, but our temperatures drop off slightly, maxing out only in those upper 80s. eventually low 80s inching into next weekend. so that onshore flow really bringing us a nice cooler boost there that we haven't even hit triple digits yet. well, yeah, this isn't even would i know. it's very nice. knock on glass. plexi glass. okay. thank you for the free air conditioning. appreciate it. you got it. our wallets appreciate it. well coming up, we've got some good news and bad news involving u.s. trade talks. the country that is close to a deal. and the other one that has president trump fuming. that's next.

5:30 pm
birthright citizenship. the order was almost immediately put on hold by lower courts, which issued an injunction blocking the order nationwide. it was that injunction that the supreme court was focused on. in today's ruling, the high court ruled that lower courts don't have the power to issue a nationwide injunction, saying those lower rulings would only apply to states, groups and individuals that directly sued. the court's decision was split largely along ideological lines with conservatives in the majority. president trump is calling it a huge victory. we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis. and some of the cases wee talking about would be ending birthright citizenship, which now comes to the fore. that was meant for the babies of slaves. it wasn't meant for people trying to scam the system and come into the country on a vacation. however, legal
