6:00 pm
to gather along market street for sunday's pride parade. for the first time in san quentin's 172 year history, the penitentiary held an lgbtq pride parade and celebration for inmate organizers. today's celebration is the result of a lot of hard work and for administrators and staff. this event is part of the new direction in rehabilitation for those incarcerated. here's nbc bay area sergio quintana san quentin state prison, which is now formally called san quentin rehabilitation center, has a long history as one of california's toughest correctional facilities. but today it was a center for a pride celebration on one of the main general population yards mixed in among the people, shooting hoops and other activities, and correctional officers keeping watch. you can see splashes of rainbow colors, flags and lanyards, all in celebration of lgbtq pride. inmate organizers say they're happy to see the turnout. we didn't think it was going to be as big as it is. this is a three
6:01 pm
day event. it's the first time that this has ever happened in the history of san quentin. this is a three day event, one of the first since san quentin formally took on a new role as a rehabilitation center. and of course, it would not be an lgbtq pride event without a parade, complete with an honor guard and plenty of flair. instead of floats, there are banners. logistically, organizers say it was difficult to get floats in there, hoping maybe they can do that next year. while it's a moment to celebrate, its organizers are mindful of certain realities. nearly everyone in here is serving a sentence, but we're told this first of a kind event is now possible because san quentin is no longer a hard time facility. now it's a level two security rehabilitation center. here you are. you got gang members? excuse me. ex-gang members walking around with dogs, setting up tables for rehabilitative health and support mental health. it's awesome. it's different here inside san quentin, the lgbtq community is simply one group, along with others like veterans,
6:02 pm
artists, and even musicians. lgbtq organizers tell me there is no shortage of stigma and homophobia within these walls. but say events like this help break down some of those issues. the celebration is also an effort to inject some humanity into the equation and hopefully create change as well. when people say this isn't public safety, i would say, do you want me to send somebody to you that's broken, unhealed, has a drug habit, has no education, and has been treated poorly, and send them to your community to do what? warden chance andy points out there are still prison towers with armed guards and barbed wire fences here, but there's also a community college like campus that's under construction. the goal now is to help ensure that when incarceration ends for these offenders, they will rejoin their communities better than when they came in here. and that includes the lgbtq community at san quentin rehabilitation center. sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. our nbc bay area special, pride is universal, will be streaming tomorrow at
6:03 pm
noon. you can watch our nbc bay area app, or you can watch it on roku or any of your favorite streaming apps. you can also head to nbcbayarea.com and click on our sf pride guide in our trending bar, right at the top of the page. our other headlines tonight a legal and political victory for president trump. the supreme court ruling related to his goal to end birthright citizenship. i am grateful to the supreme court for stepping in and solving this very, very big and complex problem. and they've made it very simple. while the trump administration sees today's ruling as a thumbs up for his january executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, legal experts say that's not the case. in january, the order was almost immediately put on hold by lower courts around the country, 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
6:04 pm
power to issue a nationwide injunction, saying those lower rulings would only apply to states, groups and individuals that directly sued. president trump sees the delay of this order an abuse of power. but in recent months, we've seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the american people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers. it was a grave threat to democracy, frankly. and instead of merely ruling on the immediate cases before them, these judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation, legal experts note. today's ruling does not can actually limit birthright citizenship. the current legal precedent is that the 14th amendment does grant automatic citizenship to anyone born in this country. and there is, of course, swift reaction to today's ruling. many in the bay area's immigrant community are expressing anger, confusion and
6:05 pm
fear. nbc's robert honda joins us from san jose to explain why so many immigrants and attorneys are struggling to figure out what happens next. the recent increase in federal immigration agents detaining immigrants around the bay area has already created anxiety in the community, and today, an attorney for the immigrant support group siren says this ruling in a case brought by president trump will likely only increase that fear. but siren is also remindi the community this ruling does not mean an end to birthright citizenship at the moment. that is what his agenda has always been to create fear and create panic in our community, in the latino community. and so i think that from what has came out today, it is not a final decision. 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
6:06 pm
100 years ago. wong says everyone took it for granted as a constitutional right. we're going to have a two tier society of disenfranchized people that have to live underground. basically, that's going to create havoc in this country, and this is going to change what america means to the 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, but noted many are already considering another legal tactic class action lawsuits, as a way around today's ruling, i expect that future suprememe courts wil look back on this as a very dark day for the court reporter. 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.
6:07 pm
robert honda, nbc bay area news meantime, president trump talking up his big, beautiful bill, the massive tax and spending package not passing easily, the house and senate ying to find some compromises. meantime, we're doing our own digging and some fact checking. our business and tech reporter scott budman joins us now. scott, you've been looking into this bill and the president's comments. yeah. janelle, here's one thing all sides agree on. the bill will likely impact our finances. the president says it will save americans money. democrats say it's a boost for the rich. today we sat down with an economics professor to try to get to the truth, starting with the president's claim that if this bill does not pass, americans would face a big tax hike. the professor says that's just not true. it's very dangerous because our country would go from being the most successful country in the world to who knows what happens with a 68%. think of it, 68% tax increase that was given by the democrats. a lot of those tax
6:08 pm
cuts are going to be expiring at the end of the year. so a lot of what this bill does is it extends already existing tax cuts. meanwhile, 68% may be the percentage of people who would see taxes rise if those tax cuts expire, but the rise won't be anywhere near that high. now we go to the president's next claim that this bill offers tax cuts for most americans. the professor says that is true. reduce taxes for the typical american by nearly 15% and increase take home pay for the normal family of four by at least $13,000. for example, with the child tax credit, that's going to help parents a lot more. and then with the no taxes on tips, that would help tip workers a lot more. andnd the president continues to try and sell america on tariffs, claiming we've already taken in $88 billion from those tariffs. economists point out the government may be bringing money in, but we don't yet know how much money consumers are spending out because of the higher prices that come with those tariffs. janelle, we will
6:09 pm
keep wching. thanks so much, scott. and we're going to have more on today's events. next on nightly news, tom llamas and the nbc news team will break down what's going on on capitol hil and what today's supreme court rulings mean. new at six. state senator scott wiener has just filed paperwork to run for nancy pelosi's seat in congress. the only question is when the filings list wiener as a candidate in 2028. since launching an exploratory committee in 2023, he's repeatedly said he would never challenge the two time former house speaker from san francisco. however, if the 85 year old pelosi decides not to seek another term next year, wiener could form a new committee for 2026 and transfer the campaign funds. in a statement today, state senator wiener said, i've dedicated my life to the people of san francisco and our core values and representing our great city in congress as we fight for our democracy, health care, housing and basic civil rights would be a deep honor. no word yet if
6:10 pm
pelosi will run for reelection. a judge declared a mistrial in the case of an oakland man accused of stabbing spree near uc davis. carlos dominguez was a uc davis student. prosecutors say he stabbed three people in 2023. two of those people died. jurors found dominguez not guilty on two first-degree murder charges, but could not come to a unanimous decision on a second degree murder charge. it is now up to the prosecution if they want a retrial. for now, dominguez will remain in custody. bart's expansion into the south bay just got a big check. the california transportation commission has approved $100 million in state funding for bart's phase two project. that money will go to vta, which is overseeing the project and was facing a large funding gap. the project will extend tracks six miles into downtown san jose and santa clara and add four new bart stations. up next, one of the bay area's strangest legal fights is taking off again. the port of oakland announcing
6:11 pm
another name change for the airport after it was sued by san francisco. will this new name fly this time around? and not just fireworks? drone shows making returns to two local theme parks? we'll tell you where. now live. look at mother nature's ac from our sutro tower cam. the fog rolling in over the golden gate bridge. what can we expect with those temperatures this weekend? and of course, a closer look at your extended forecast coming up in less than five minutes. i'll see you then. tonight on nbc nightly news, the trade war showdown. why president trump says he's stopping all trade talks with canada and beach umbrella safety. one man's personal mission after he and others were nearly kild.le [ squawking ] ever seen a dinosaur in the wild? it's okay. -come on. i don't mean in a theme park. i mean in its natural... habitat. she's scared. what is she scared of? [ low growl ]
6:12 pm
no. come on! run! [ roaring ]
6:13 pm
a whole new battle of the bay
6:14 pm
for the second time in two years. the port of oakland says it's looking to change the name of the oakland airport. last year, port leaders tried san francisco bay oakland international airport, triggering a massive legal fight with sfo and losing. well, this time they're putting oakland in the name first. here's nbc bay area's thom jensen. for many of the 10 million plus travelers who use oakland's airport annually, the name they likely know the airport by is the one on their luggage tag. okay, but the port of oakland says it's time to change that in the name of better business. seven just started, and we're pretty sure st year the port of oakland tried to change the airport's name from oakland international to san francisco bay oakland international airport, triggering a trademark battle with nearby sfo. now they want to try oakland san francisco bay airport. i'm not a fan. so oakland airport. oakland airport. and it's kind of like when they change the stadium name, it will always be oakland airport to me. that traveler tells us he flies in and out of
6:15 pm
the airport a lot for business, and has heard a lot of complaints about the name changes. i have many friends that actually make plans and they get confused. it's confusing to outsiders from the bay area. the port's director of aviation says the new name will drive people and economic growth toward the airport and the city. bringing that name out gives us that geographical identifier so that people back east, you know, past denver, past the mississippi, are really aware of where oakland sits. but will it end the lawsuit brought by san francisco? the new name was breaking news this morning when san francisco city attorney was talking to reporters about another legal battle. i just learned about this in the middle of this press conference. in a written statement, the city attorney's communications director said, we are just learning about this development and will assess any next steps to ensure san francisco international airport's trademark is protected. passengers we talked with said they can understand the concern over airport confusion. i probably would not have been happy. that could be confusing. the name change, i understand
6:16 pm
why, but again, if we're trying to welcome people in, we've got to make it easier. the port of oakland is expected to vote on the new name proposal on july 10th. if oakland san francisco bay airport is cleared for takeoff, final approval could come two weeks later in oakland. thom jensen nbc bay area news. okay, it's about that time. celebrate 4th of july at six flags. six flags sent us this video of what people can expect to see great america in santa clara and six flags discovery kingdom in vallejo are hosting epic celebrations for the upcoming holiday. the fireworks show will include 200 drones that will illuminate the night sky. that means we need some good viewing conditions on 4th of july and vallejo and santa clara as well. and leave it to the professionals, please. yes. you know, it's so dry out there, the temperatures very summer like. and then, of course, we've got that summer fog at the coast that's been helping keep us cool, comfortable, especially into the early morning hours before we really see the sun heat us up. so what can we see
6:17 pm
around the coast right now? well, let's take a look at our live cameras throughout the bay area. the temperatures still in those 90s for walnut creek, one of our warmest spots. meanwhile, look at that. you can't even make out the golden gate bridge anymore because of that fog at 62 in san francisco. oakland 65, and then a comfortable 75 right there in san jose. so what are we looking at tonight and into tomorrow? that high pressure is going to stick around. very normal for this june pattern to see these clouds linger io the early morning hours as well. and how did we fare out today compared to the average. well, no record highs, but we did get pretty hot in a lot of spots, including santa rosa. today we hit a high of about 91, definitely above average there. look at concord 95. the typical average is about 87. meanwhile, even in san francisco managed to climb into the 70s. livermore and san jose, also in those 80s and 90s. similar conditions stretching into saturday. but i do want to show y you how early we're going to see that fog and where it's going to extend to. so it will linger around the
6:18 pm
coast, but inland areas can expect to see that clearing once we head into the afternoon. but don't be surprised if you do see some low clouds early on for your saturday forecast. i've got san francisco at 71 tomorrow, santa rosa at 86. look at ukiah and clear lake inching towards that 100 degree marker. meanwhile, down through the south bay san jose upper 80s los gatos in those 90s once again, and then concord, and of course into livermore and tracy. in those warm to mid 90s. we're going to remain similar. on sunday. we're going to drop by a few degrees in some spots, including around the coastline and also stretching down through parts of the south bay. but i do think that these are a bit more average and seasonable for this time of year. we're also always monitoring the air quality, because anytime that we settle into these dry ridges of high pressure, we see that air quality kind of change. remember, this can change within the hours. so stay tuned and keep focused. but we do have moderate air quality. and this is why we don't want to see any fires break out. because we're also going to see low humidity
6:19 pm
less than 30% for the interior. and we're going to stay dry in the long range outlook right now inching into that first week of july, taking us all the way through wednesday and into next weekend. here's what your 7-day forecast looks like. we've got those 60s, and then we've got the morning clouds. and through san francisco, any form of outdoor activities are going to be fantastic to enjoy the weekend. if you're going to head to the beach, expect to see those layers needed, of course, and then inland areas keeping those 90s for the weekend forecast. and next week we've got only 80s.o that's warm, comfortable. still hot though. so just take your time. it's friday. can't ask for anything better. that's fair. yeah. thanks, vianey. thanks. vianey. up next, we're learning more about the controversial plan to rename a u.s. naval ship that honors harvey milk. the update from the defense secretary.

6:23 pm
harvey milk was the first openly gay man elected to public office here in california, and was a san francisco supervisor when he was assassinated at city hall in 1978. from losing recognition to etching it in stone, san francisco city leaders today recommitted to honoring harvey milk. the mayor, along with other city and community leaders, laid out a clear vision for a project that has been over a decade in the making. they say the harvey milk memorial at the intersection of castro and market streets is moving forward. it will have a gathering area and a reflection grove with symbols of the lgbtq rights movements and milk's lasting impact. mayor lurie says the timing of this recommitment is so meaningful. it is a promise that we will stand firm in our values and ensure that the next generation knows who harvey milk was, what he stood for, and why he still matters today. the project design will be completed by the end of this year, and then construction is
