7:02 am
full clearing like yesterday, but partly cloudy conditions and nice temperatures up to 94 degrees in santa rosa, mid 90s fairfield and antioch, brentwood, discovery bay, low and mid 90s throughout the tri valley and 70s and 80s peninsula, san jose. you'll stop at right around 83 degrees. full forecast. still coming up right now. ali rasmus is in for sal castaneda today. you're doing a great job this morning. >> thank you roberta. always good to have you here on the morning show. let's talk about traffic because there is some slow traffic and a crash on westbound highway four. so east contra costa county, if that's your commute, you'll want to be aware of this. there's also a new report of a crash. san pablo dam road, but this is actually just off the freeway in the el sobrante area. even though it's off the freeway at la colina road, san pablo dam road in la colina road, there's still some very slow traffic on the freeway. westbound highway 80 all the way through berkeley towards the toll plaza 880 in
7:03 am
oakland. this stretch by the coliseum looks good. south of here, as you get towards union city fremont, it does get backed up and we will show you the map next time around of that area. bay bridge toll plaza. you're looking at a 20 minute delay to get onto the span. 702. let's go back to the desk. >> ali. thank you. iran's supreme leader threatened the u.s. with irreparable damage. if the american military joins the strikes against the country. it's been nearly a week here since israel launched its military attack against the country's military and nuclear program. u.s. has moved military planes and warships to the region. iran has also fired hundreds of missiles and attack drones into israel. president trump is calling for iran's unconditional surrender. so far, the u.s. has not become directly involved in the military missions. >> that's the united states involvement. we are supporting that air campaign with a limited but very focused attack on maybe 1 or 2 of their buried facilities, and that's it. >> on the social media platform, president trump warned that
7:04 am
america's patience with iran is wearing thin and that the u.s. would not take out the supreme leader, at least for now. >> our time now. 703. back here at home, demonstrators in san jose gathered outside of the mlk library to protest the response by israel and the united states to the conflict with iran. >> one. two. three. four not another us war. >> one. two. three. four. not another us war. >> the protesters are calling on the city of san jose, the county of santa clara, and the united states as a whole to divest from companies that support israel and its military. they say u.s. support of israel has only emboldened israel's military, and that its actions could provoke an expanded war in the region. >> the working class here today has nothing to gain from yet another endless war in the middle east. we are here to call on our ruling class to fund people's needs, and not the
7:05 am
endless war machine. >> today's demonstration was also sponsored by the council on american islamic relations. >> the department of homeland security is reversing course, reportedly telling immigration and customs enforcement agents to continue making arrests at farms, hotels and restaurants. the trump administration is walking back its guidance issued last week, telling federal agencies not to raid those businesses. ice has been under pressure from the white house to make a minimum of 3000 arrests a day. >> our time now. 705 president trump's promise to increase immigration enforcement could have a big impact on california's economy. california's 1.3 million undocumented workers represent 8% of the state's workforce. a new report says deporting all of them would lead to a loss of about $275 billion. the agricultural and construction industry would lose the most money. >> they ripple through entire supply chains. they drive up consumer prices for everybody.
7:06 am
it's also that they are not easily replaced. these are folks that have been in these jobs for actually decades. >> now those workers also pay $23 billion in local, state and federal taxes every year. many employers say some undocumented workers are not showing up for work. and this comes as other industries are already dealing with a worker shortage. >> several san francisco city workers were arrested after disrupting a board of supervisors meeting to protest proposed budget cuts. >> public services. public services. public services. >> union members began chanting shortly after the city's budget meeting began yesterday. the state inside city hall for nearly two hours before law enforcement warned them to leave, then began making arrests. at least 11 people were arrested, cited and let go. union members say supervisors should be able to create a budget that doesn't involve public service cuts. >> we can absolutely balance this budget on the backs of
7:07 am
workers. we have proposed other one time costs. there are other reserves that the mayor can tap into. >> supervisors say they want to avoid cuts wherever possible. the board has until july to finalize the city budget. >> our time now 706. the city of san francisco reports mixed results from its new efforts to change programs that distribute harm reduction supplies to drug users. earlier this spring, the city started requiring that any site that gives out supplies for smoking or injecting drugs also has to offer counseling services or information about drug treatment. city funded programs are also no longer allowed to distribute smoking supplies like foil, glass pipes and straws in public. they are allowed to distribute needles in public as long as informational pamphlets are passed out as well. but some drug users we talked to say the new counseling offers are not making a difference. >> projects to improve san francisco's chinatown have been
7:08 am
delayed again. the unofficial neighborhood gathering spot of portsmouth square will no longer receive $71 million for renovations. instead, the project will be rebid, delaying the groundbreaking by nearly a year. city officials say that original construction bids came in over budget due to tariffs increasing material costs. the project was initially set to break ground back in 2023. it's now expected to be complete by early 2028. >> well, a battle is really heating up over the future of land in the western us. a new proposal in the senate could put more than 250 million acres of public land up for sale in 11 states. areas of open land near iconic california, landmarks like yosemite and lake tahoe may be sold to the highest bidder as part of this new plan, while supporters are promoting economic growth, conservation groups warn of a devastating loss of beloved open spaces and very important wildlife habitats. >> 708 caught on camera here. a
7:09 am
tiny dog comes nose to nose with a bear after it made its way into a home. this is what happened in monrovia, down near pasadena. we see the dog confronting the bears, the bears kind of sniffing around the kitchen looking for something good to eat, most likely. >> yeah. >> dog barks a few times, then takes off. we should note the bear has a tracker on its neck. that means it's likely been caught breaking into homes before the bear stayed inside the house for a bit longer and then left. >> that is like a reverse goldilocks situation right there. taking a look at traffic at this seven. 708 time, we want to warn you about some slow traffic on westbound highway 580 through the altamont pass. also sluggish southbound, 680 through pleasanton. there's some lane construction going on there, so that might be what's behind it. no crashes to tell you about on southbound 880, but it is slow from hayward through union city as well. when you get to san mateo from the san mateo bridge,
7:10 am
there is a crash on westbound 92, and that is an injury. crash over. i'm trying to look for the cross street there and it just disappeared from my chp log. so southbound from there in the south bay, you can see northbound 101. there is slow traffic through downtown san jose and a stalled vehicle there. here's a live look at the san mateo bridge as you're making your way over to the peninsula again. once you get to san mateo, you will encounter a crash just off the freeway there. time now is 709. let's go back to the desk. >> ali. thank you. coming up, the founder of a popular east bay live music venue has died. a look back at the life and legacy of the man who brought us yoshi's. and helped bring artists from around the world here to the bay area. >> also, global tariffs are having an impact on the summer travel season. we'll tell you how the trade war may affect your plans. >> every day, over 1000 accidents happen in california. lives turned upside down in an
7:11 am
instant. the aftermath of an accident can be overwhelming. medical bills, lost wages and emotional trauma. at jacobia myers, we control the chaos, providing legal and emotional support so you can focus on healing. with over 50 years of experience and $2 billion recovered for our clients, we fight for the justice you deserve. call jacoby and myers at one 805 million
7:12 am
7:13 am
7:14 am
at 713. today, health care workers at ucsf benioff children's hospital oakland will go on strike. the union representing the workers says the hospital is planning to cancel union contracts and cut pay across its facilities. ucsf says the difference in pay is the result of employees starting to contribute to their health insurance and retirement accounts. says in return, they'll receive better pensions and benefits. san francisco has joined a lawsuit challenging the department of homeland security's freeze on counterterrorism grant funding. city attorney david chu said the city receives more than $1 million a year from the securing the city's program to help detect and prevent terrorist attacks. he says the trump administration has withdrawn the funds with no explanation. >> our time now 714. friends and customers of one of the co-founders of a legendary oakland music venue are talking about the impact he had on the community. cars kagimura was the man behind yoshi's in oakland.
7:15 am
he died over the weekend at the age of 82 after battling dementia. his co-owner of the jazz music club and sushi restaurant described kaz as a dreamer who graduated from college in tokyo, then came to the u.s. at the age of 22. he earned a master's degree in journalism at uc berkeley and an mba at stanford. >> he's the true american dream. he dedicated his life to, you know, 50 years of jazz and music in san francisco bay area. and that's incredible. yoshi's is his passion. it was the passion of his life. and every woodwork you see was built by him, including our tables. he made the tables himself one by one. >> kaz opened the original yoshi's in berkeley back in 1972. they moved to the current location in downtown oakland in 1997, and also opened a second yoshi's location in san francisco, but it closed in 2014. >> an oakland man returned from
7:16 am
egypt last night, saying his plans to march to gaza with other advocates were met with violence. a group called global march to gaza brought more than 4000 volunteers from more than 80 countries together. the group was hoping to pressure governments to allow food and medical supplies into gaza. adel geovani says the march was interrupted by egyptian forces on the way to rafah. >> the other organizers said, hey, for safety reasons, at this point, it's become very clear that the egyptian authorities do not want us here and that they are detaining us and disappearing some people. so it's better to leave the country as soon as possible. which is why i changed my flight and i'm here today. >> he says he was among the 250 americans who were forced to return home early. geovani says he is grateful for the opportunity to make his voice heard. >> our time now. 716 today, senators on capitol hill in washington holding a hearing about the allegations of a cover up of president biden's cognitive decline when he was in office. now, the hearing comes after claims that president
7:17 am
biden's team worked to hide his decline during his term in the white house. the first hearing won't include testimony from any members of the former president's administration. instead, members of president trump's first administration and a local legal scholar will be testifying. now, next week, house republicans plan to hold similar hearings with biden's former aides at that hearing. >> tariff uncertainty is having a big impact on summer travel plans and entertainment. some families looking to trim their budgets may turn to local amusement parks instead of going on a trip, but they may face rising ticket prices as well as higher prices for food and merchandise, all of which could impact park attendance. >> parts that we try to order that might come from italy or germany or anywhere overseas, china from our stuffed animals that we use in our games and our cranes and arcade. so typically this warehouse would be half full, but because of the unknown with the tariffs this year, we had to go ahead and pre-purchase pretty much for the entire
7:18 am
summer to try to beat the tariffs before they went into effect. >> financial experts say the cost of tariffs is generally paid for by the company importing the products, which will then often raise prices to pass it on to consumers. >> we've seen it over and over. all right. time is 717. we see ali rasmus again. you're watching our commute. how's it look? >> it's looking okay. we are seeing some slow traffic in some of the expected spots, including east contra costa county, where we've been following what's going on with this crash that happened on westbound highway four at port chicago. highway on ramp. and there's still a scene there. traffic injuries are unknown at this point, but they are responding to it and an ambulance is on the way. in the meantime, there is also a crash southbound 680. this is actually just off the freeway, but there is some slow traffic through pleasant hill and walnut creek because of it. also very slow getting over from richmond into marin county at the richmond san rafael bridge toll plaza. this is a live picture of that
7:19 am
sluggish traffic getting in across the bay there and on this bay bridge. the bay bridge, i should say. traffic also looks pretty stacked and slow getting into the city. 718 here's roberta gonzalez. >> good morning. rise and shine. welcome to your wednesday, which is going to pan out to be the warmest day of the workweek. right now we have that marine layer. it's roughly down about 600ft in elevation. we can see on top of the marine layer out towards mount tamalpais. and looking over the city of san francisco, which currently is 52 degrees. 53 across the bay in oakland and emeryville, backing through el cerrito into the berkeley area. 55 in palo alto. we've now reached 60 in concord and a pair of fives in the tri valley. today, in the tri valley and throughout most portions of the eastern bay, except, you know, just right around the central bay. you'll be fine, but a little tinge in the atmosphere. east bay and santa clara valley for some emissions
7:20 am
from ozone. that's about it. otherwise, in the city today, we're talking about 70 degrees. that's slightly above average. your tuesday forecast. we will be near 90 degrees in our inland areas for sure. i'm going with an outside number of 96 towards fairfield and brentwood and tracy and discovery bay. warm to hot conditions will continue from southern california all the way into the bay area today. go ahead, take a look at your neighborhood. how about 87 degrees in vallejo, benicia, martinez, american canyon? how about hercules and rodeo? 82 degrees, redwood shores and redwood city. burlingame, belmont. all right. around 74 degrees with 78 degrees in san mateo, low 90s in livermore and also pleasanton and dublin, san ramon as well. here is your extended forecast. we do call for today again, the hottest day of the week. it's not going to be as hot as it was that last week of may when we had triple digits, but nonetheless, summer officially arrives on friday and
7:21 am
with it, some cooler air mass. and then we will see our seasonal high temperatures return right here to the bay area on sunday. that's a fun day. sunday. it looks glorious. okay. >> all right, roberta, thank you. time 720 juneteenth. it's tomorrow. we'll look at the celebrations around the bay area. and the reason this holiday is so important. >> and did you know you can take mornings. >> on two with you wherever you go? headlines on two is now a podcast. you'll find the latest episode wherever you get your podcasts. [music] just search tvu.
7:24 am
to mornings on two. here's a live picture. we are looking at san jose's airport as we speak and what's happening on the roads out there now. the clouds, they're out there, but we know the sun is going to be out there as well. just want to give you this sunrise. look at san jose's airport here on mornings on two times now 724 tomorrow is juneteenth a very important part of american history, marking the official end of slavery in the united states. now the holidays are celebration of both freedom and resilience. back in 1865, federal troops arrived in galveston, texas, to enforce the emancipation proclamation and free the last enslaved people in the country. it was declared a
7:25 am
federal holiday by president joe biden in 2021. >> looking at juneteenth is a good way to understand that slavery was important to the development of the economy of the country. it's also really important to acknowledge the sacrifices of millions of people who gave their unpaid labor for many years in order to build this country. >> now there will be several juneteenth events in the bay area tomorrow, and among them, the juneteenth festival at the oakland museum. that's between noon and 5 p.m, the five k freedom run that's also in oakland at 630. in san francisco, r&b at the w is from 6 to 11 p.m. the juneteenth parade is on sunday from 11 a.m. to 330 in san francisco, and the san francisco black film festival will run through sunday at a variety of locations in the bay area. >> a 19 year-old san francisco man is in jail accused of vandalizing the iconic pink
7:26 am
triangle on top of twin peaks. san francisco police say they were called to the pride month display around 1230 yesterday afternoon. they saw a man identified as lester bamaca geronimo defacing the pink triangle. we sent skyfox up above and you can see some faint black markings on it. officers chased and arrested him. at this point, he has not been charged with a hate crime that could change. 726 a battle for control california squaring off with the federal government over the national guard. a breakdown of what happened in a san francisco courtroom, and how president trump's immigration crackdown could cost the bay area. >> also, a new pope and a bold warning. while the first american pontiff is calling out silicon valley and top tech leaders who've spent years courting the vatican.

7:29 am
7:30 am
witnesses and the man's mother, who says she still doesn't know where her son is. and nurses and technical staff at ucsf in oakland are walking off the job. you're looking at live pictures. we'll tell you about the major change that they say could cost them thousands of dollars in pay and benefits, and how this strike could affect patient care. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and welcome back to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> i'm gasia mikaelian. it is wednesday, june 18th. this is that sunshine warm day that some of us have been waiting for. >> yes, others. >> are dreading roberta gonzalez here to detail. i think some of us will be turning on the ac, at least in the far east bay. right, roberta? >> yeah. take a look at this right now. we do have the low clouds along sfo that adds that natural ac, but you will want to crank it up. and the inland areas today where we will top off in the mid 90s, no
7:31 am
visibility issues at any of our airports, even though that marine layer is down to roughly 600ft in some locations. 52 degrees this morning in half moon bay. how about 54 in oakland? it is now 60 in concord, and san jose is checked in at 57 degrees. moderate air quality expected. santa clara valley, as well as the eastern portion of our bay area, going up to 70 today in san francisco when the average high is 60 degrees. so we have this huge dome of high pressure. this is going to lead to one day of heat in our inland areas. we'll pinpoint your neighborhood forecast. we'll talk about the winds as well because they will be increasing. that's still minutes away. but right now first things first ali wants to get you on the road safely and on time. >> yeah, well, you might have an okay time doing that. in most spots. traffic is doing okay, but there are a lot of slow and sluggish locations that we're going to point out in the map just to just a second from now.
7:32 am
but starting with the north bay southbound 101 at lincoln avenue, there is a crash there. you don't see a crash icon popping up here on the traffic map, but it's there and you might want to give yourself some extra time. it's in the marinwood area to get around it. in the east bay, we're looking at some pretty slow traffic on southbound 880 from hayward all the way down into fremont. no specific crashes here, just a lot of folks getting trying to get to the same place at once. also slow as you approach the san mateo bridge toll plaza, this stretch of 880 in oakland past the coliseum looks good. once you get to the toll plaza, if you take it from 880 to this point, traffic still pretty stuck here. you're looking at a 20 minute delay to get onto the span. 732 let's go back to the desk. >> health care workers in oakland are going on strike today. >> yeah, they say a plan by ucsf will end up costing them money. ktvu james torres is in oakland to show us the workers out on the picket lines. what's happening now, james?
7:33 am
>> yeah, they just got started about 30 minutes ago. good morning to you both. i want to introduce you to two workers here who are on strike. joining the crowd, i have felicia hashimoto and rosie brooks. thank you both so much for taking the time to talk with me today. can you both just tell me real simply, why is it that you're here this morning? >> well, i'm here because i have no choice but to be here. ucsf san francisco health it. they have millions of dollars. billions of dollars, actually. and what they're trying to do to the folks that work here at children's hospital in the east bay is take all of our our contract away. they're trying to take away our benefits. we're starting over fresh in july as brand new employees. so all of my 25 year tenure is out the window. i mean, the list goes on and on of why we have no choice but to strike. what they're doing is diminishing the care that children's hospital give to the patients, critical care that patients receive here will now have to go to the west bay to
7:34 am
get some of that care. that's the reason we're here today. >> miss brooke, can you tell me what what job and what work you do here in the hospital? >> i support the clinical staff. i'm a telecommunications operator here, and i've been here for 25 years. in july, it will be 26 years. i also was a patient here as a child growing up. so, you know, this is very it's hard. it pulls at the heartstrings. but we have to survive. we have to live. we have to make a living. and it have to be a way to do that here. we've been here for too long. some of us have been here. some of us are ready to retire. they're forced to retirement on some people as well. >> miss hashimoto, can you tell me what you do here at the hospital? >> thank you. i'm an occupational therapist in our rehab department, and i'm an oakland resident serving our oakland families. and i've been here for 12 years. and as of this year, ucsf is union busting, right? they are canceling and terminating our union contracts and taking millions of dollars of our dedicated staff who have been here for so many years, taking
7:35 am
so much pride in caring for our patients and their families. if ucsf gets away with this, i will lose about $12,000 a year alone in my take home pay. i already see how our families and our community have to wait months for their medical therapies, right? because ucsf leaves so many jobs here in oakland hospital vacated and open. right. and that means longer waits for our families. we already got a taste of ucsf agenda, which is their bottom line. this is why we're here to share with the community how much we are invested in our east bay families and their east bay medical care. here in our hospital. >> we've heard from ucsf. they tell us that what what it is that we're protesting out here this morning, this firing, rehiring. they say that part of it is just not true. but they also say that the reason they want to do this integration plan is to kind of put everyone under a single system and put you all under these same employees that
7:36 am
the rest of the uc system as throughout the state. what are your thoughts on that response? >> so legally, they can't do that because we are a nonprofit organization. that hospital is federally funded. so there's two different funnels of money that comes down. we cannot commingle our monies. so how is it that they're going to put us under the same system, which is completely illegal? we've said at the table time and time again, and they promised that this us that this would never happen. but yet and still we're here. they refuse to pick an arbitrator. we wouldn't we couldn't even go into arbitration because they are flat out refusing because they feel what they're doing is correct and is completely wrong, and it's illegal as well as immoral. >> i'm going to have you guys stick around for just a moment. all right? we have to call it there because we are just limited on time. but that is just some of the voices that we are hearing this morning at this protest just outside of children's hospital in oakland. for now, we'll send it back to you in the studio. we'll have much more coming up in the next hour. >> james. thank you. 736 here, in the face of enhanced
7:37 am
immigration enforcement, one southern california mother says border patrol agents arrested her son after a confrontation with officers. it started when two border patrol trucks pulled up to a walmart in lowe's parking lot in pico rivera. witnesses say a man identified as adrian andrew martinez, a u.s. citizen, drove toward agents and started yelling at them as they tried to round up workers. >> and the video shows that, you know, he was trying to help. he was telling them, you know, leave him alone. he's just working. and i guess they didn't like that. >> in the video, we see martinez rolling a trash bin in front of a border patrol truck. after a brief exchange, agents arrested him. martinez's mother says she still doesn't know where he is. >> you guys touching people here? no, he touched me. what the. what is he doing? he's a hard worker. >> now they're saying that he attacked them. so they want to press charges.
7:38 am
>> one witness says he saw the border patrol trucks making the rounds in the parking lot, and went to document what was happening. >> after he got thrown on the ground twice and continuously shoved. i mean, anybody's going to try to avoid, you know, getting harassed the way he did. so they kept going after him and telling us, get away, trying to get us to stop recording us. they you can see in the videos they're pushing them towards the car, the truck, and they got them in the back of the truck. one of the guys is pushing them by his neck into the truck. >> immigrants, rights advocates and law enforcement experts say those who confront federal officers risk serious consequences. >> when you interfere with law enforcement in california, you probably get arrested for a misdemeanor and maybe, maybe not face criminal charges. but with the federal agents, you're looking at some serious federal time anywhere between one year in federal prison up to eight years. >> it is really scary to just
7:39 am
see fleets of cars, you know, with armed, military looking people just coming at us like we're we don't know what to think or, you know, how to how to react to something like that. we're not used to that. >> the department of homeland security has yet to respond to a request for information about the arrest. >> our time now, 738. a federal appeals court in san francisco still has not issued a ruling about the deployment of the california national guard to los angeles after the immigration protest. the three judge panel of the ninth circuit court of appeals heard arguments yesterday scrutinizing a lower court ruling blocking the president's deployment of more than 4000 troops without the consent of the governor. the president's lawyers argued the president can federalize a state's national guard during a rebellion, a danger of rebellion, or if the president is not able to execute federal laws. the california department of justice argued the
7:40 am
president's actions were illegal. >> violent riots in los angeles constitute a rebellion against the authority of the united states. those guardsmen are necessary on the ground today to prevent breaches of the federal buildings to protect ice officers. >> for the first time in our nation's history, defendants federalize thousands of members of the state national guard in circumstances where none of those factual predicates exist. and they circumvented the governor. >> now, the panel of judges seemed inclined to let president trump continue to have control over the national guard members. that panel could rule at any minute. well, the new pope, leo the 14th, he says keeping artificial intelligence in check is among his many priorities as he leads the catholic church. the pope says his namesake, leo the 13th, stood up for factory workers during a time when industrial leaders caused rapid change. the pope will make artificial intelligence potential threat to humanity, a
7:41 am

response, certainly creating a volatile situation and uncertainty about the global markets and the global economy. now, as the opening bell rang this morning, the indexes headed slightly higher. but they did shoot up in the last half hour. looking for some solid reasons why, perhaps some optimism that there will be some negotiations between the u.s. and iran. but as we take a live look at the big board, you can see they're much higher in the last half hour or so. the dow jones up more than a half of a percent now 278 points. the nasdaq and the s&p 500 jumping about the same as well. now the other thing weighing on the minds of investors, the federal reserve will announce any changes for interest rates today. the escalating crisis in the middle east is certainly adding to the discussion. the policymakers consider inflation and now changing tariffs when making decisions about interest rates. the consensus among economists and other fed watchers is that rates will remain steady at this
7:51 am
time, at about 4%. what wall street will be waiting for is what fed chief jerome powell says about where the economy is headed in light of a soft labor market. and of course, now the conflict in the middle east. so be watching for those and we'll have that on our noon news today. president trump giving tiktok's parent company another 90 days to reach a sale agreement here in the u.s. this is the third time the president has extended the deadline for the china based company. the goal is for the chinese company to sell the u.s. version of tiktok to a us based company. americans will still be able to use the social media site during the extension. and waymo expanding again now on the peninsula, the silicon valley based robotaxi company announced riders can now hail rides in brisbane, south san francisco, san bruno, millbrae and burlingame. service will also soon be available in palo alto and menlo park. waymo reports it does hope to continue expanding

7:53 am
is related to his plan to move the athletics to las vegas, and the rising costs of building a new stadium there. >> 752 is the time, and your south bay commute is getting pretty busy. let's show you the maps. we are following a new crash that is on northbound 880 at montague expressway off ramp. this is involving two vehicles. that's in addition to a bunch of traffic hazards in the south bay on northbound 85 almaden expressway. so there's a lot of stuff out on the road. and also at southbound 87 at curtner avenue. keep an eye out for that. if you're driving through silicon valley, because the commute here is getting busier as the morning goes on, we still have that crash on southbound 880 in at thornton avenue in fremont that is leading to a backup there and elsewhere. crash on 280 in daly city. taking a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, it is still pretty

7:55 am
yesterday, but partly cloudy at the beaches. otherwise inland temperatures soaring to the mid 90s just for one day. then an area of low pressure to the north will filter in some cooler air mass. in fact, slightly below normal by the first day of summer on friday, you can bank on 6061 degrees today in half moon bay to 96 degrees in antioch. we'll take a look at your neighborhood. how about 88 to napa through sonoma, 82 redwood shores and redwood city, 74 in burlingame and in belmont, la honda and colma, pescadero, all in the 70s today. 92 gilroy, morgan hill, also low 90s livermore. pleasanton, also in dublin, backing through san ramon. your extended forecast for the holiday tomorrow. juneteenth. gorgeous seasonal, then slightly below average. i got to tell you, the winds will be increasing from about thursday night all the way through your saturday. enjoy your wednesday.

7:59 am
eight. san francisco has joined a lawsuit challenging the department of homeland security's freeze on counterterrorism grant funding. city attorney david chu said the city gets more than $1 million a year from the securing the city's program to detect and prevent terror attacks. he says the trump administration withdrew that funding with no explanation. the program was actually set up during the first trump administration. san francisco is joining chicago, boston, denver and seattle in a lawsuit. well, mandatory evacuations still in effect for the bonanza fire in el dorado county. it started yesterday along highway 50, not far from placerville. at least 181 acres have burned. the fire is only

8:02 am
airport, where we have no problems with arrivals or delays. at 59 degrees, it is now jumped to 63 in concord, 61 in novato. pair of fives in oakland. we do have a bit of a breeze in fairfield. otherwise these winds are flat. they will pick up later today. westerly 10 to 20mph. daytime highs ushering to 94 degrees in santa rosa where yesterday it was 90. it was also 90. in fairfield today, 96 concord you scored 90 today again, 94. so those are the hottest locations for your wednesday. 92 in morgan hill. but i have your first day of summer forecast. that's still straight ahead. first things first, ali rasmus, you've been pretty busy today. >> yeah, things have been getting busier as the morning goes on. you know, 7 to 8:00 is usually when we see peak commute time and the likeliest time to see some problems on the roads, which is what we're seeing, along with some slow traffic in certain spots. westbound highway four at the top of your screen. there was an earlier crash at
8:03 am
port chicago highway. that crash has been cleared, but the backup still hasn't been cleared yet, and we're looking at a lot of slow traffic on westbound 80, heading through richmond all the way down into berkeley. here's a live look at the richmond san rafael bridge toll plaza. it has been stop and go all morning long, pretty much for the last hour or so. 880 in oakland looks okay this stretch of 880 does, but then closer to fremont, there's some backups there. we'll show you that next time around. bay bridge toll plaza, though, is pretty packed getting into the city. 802 let's go back to the desk. >> well, new this morning, president trump spent nearly an hour answering questions outside the white house this morning. the event started with questions about putting up two new flagpoles in the white house lawn. but reporters did get to ask about immigration. the la protest and the ongoing war between israel and iran. the president says he can't say exactly what the u.s. is next move is. he also mentions iranian leaders have reached out to him about the conflict,
8:04 am
asking for help. >> iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate. and they said, why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? why didn't you go? i said to the people, why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? you could have done fine. you would have had a country. it's a very sad to watch this. >> the president did post to his social media platform calling for iran's unconditional surrender. >> iran's supreme leader threatened the u.s. with irreparable damage if the american military were to join the strikes against the country. it's been nearly a week since israel launched its military attacks against the country's military and nuclear program. the u.s. has moved military planes and warships to the region. iran has also fired hundreds of missiles and attack drones into israel. so far, the u.s. has not become directly involved in the military missions. >> if the united states get involved in it, we are supporting that air campaign with a limited but very focused attack on maybe 1 or 2 of their
8:05 am
buried facilities, and that's it. >> on the social media platform, the president warned that america's patience with iran is wearing thin, that the u.s. would not take out the supreme leader, at least for now. >> back at home, demonstrators gathered outside mlk library in san jose to protest israel and the u.s. response to the conflict against iran. >> one. two. three four. [music] not another u.s. war. >> one. two. three four. not another u.s. war. >> protesters are calling on the city of san jose, the county of santa clara and the usa as a whole to divest from companies that support israel and its military. the u.s. says support of israel has only emboldened, or, they say the support of israel only emboldens israel's military, that its actions could provoke a broader war in the region. >> the working class here today has nothing to gain from yet another endless war in the middle east. we are here to call on our ruling class to fund
8:06 am
people's needs, and not the endless war machine. >> yesterday's demonstration was also sponsored by the council on american islamic relations. >> the department of homeland security is reversing course and reportedly telling immigration and customs enforcement to continue making arrests at farms, hotels and restaurants. the trump administration is walking back guidance issued last week telling federal agencies not to raid those businesses. ice has been under pressure from the white house to make a minimum of 3000 arrests a day. president trump's promise to increase immigration enforcement could have a big impact on california's economy. california's 1.3 million undocumented workers represent 8% of the state's workforce. a new report finds. if they were all to be deported, it would lead to a loss of about $275 billion, with the agriculture and construction industries most affected. >> they ripple through entire supply chains. they drive up consumer prices for everybody. it's also that they are not easily replaced. these are folks that have been in these jobs for actually decades. >> the workers also pay $23
8:07 am
billion in local, state and federal taxes every year. many employers say their workers aren't showing up to work out of fear they'll be arrested. a number of other industries are already experiencing a worker shortage. >> 806 is your time. election officials say president trump's recent claims about undocumented people voting is not true. election officials in los angeles say his statement only spreads claims that have no evidence and create more confusion about election processes. l.a. county and the rest of california has safeguards in place to make sure only eligible voters can cast ballots, and all votes are accurately counted. decades of investigations have found fraud by voters at polls is basically nonexistent. >> the time and we want to let you know about a new crash in the north bay. this is at southbound 101 at miller creek road. you can see through marinwood heavy traffic there. taking a look south of there at the bay bridge toll plaza, which has been busy and stacked all morning long for the past couple of hours, you can see about a 20 minute delay to get onto the
8:08 am
span. san mateo bridge traffic is moving, but it is very sluggish getting into marin county. 807 let's go back to the desk. >> the goal of the march was to go to cairo, get to al-arish and march to the rafah border to help pressure governments to allow aid, medical supplies, food into gaza. >> oakland activists fly to egypt for a global march to gaza. the threat that caused one man to cut his trip short. >> a new clue in the air india crash. the discovery raising troubling new questions about boeing's 787 engine failures during takeoff.

hospital in oakland are on strike. the union representing the workers says the hospital is planning to cancel union contracts and cut pay across its facilities. ucsf says the difference in pay is the result of employees starting to contribute to their health insurance and retirement accounts says in return, they'll receive better pensions and benefits. investigators are piecing together clues from last week's deadly air india plane crash. the black boxes, which record flight data and cockpit conversations, have been recovered. they're being analyzed to help determine the cause of the crash. preliminary findings are raising questions about whether the plane's engine and emergency power systems malfunctioned shortly after takeoff. >> it's been nearly a week since israel launched airstrikes in iran, and now iran's supreme leader threatening, quote, irreparable damage if the u.s. joins their war. joining us this morning is holly dagres, senior fellow at the washington institute. holly, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me on the program. >> holly, as you watch what the president has been saying lately about what the u.s. may or may not do. what are your thoughts
8:13 am
as we enter the sixth day of this battle between israel and iran? >> well, i think it's noteworthy, the footage you showed earlier of us president donald trump talking about, well, they should have negotiated with me. so these strikes began on thursday night. and actually, it was official. the omani foreign minister had announced that the us and iran were going to be talking on sunday. and so obviously, that didn't fall, that fell apart. and we're in this war now. and it seems like there's no end to it for the time being, because the president has said that iran cannot enrich uranium. and he said it repeatedly. and the iranians have believe it's their inherent right. so what is it going to take for them to meet halfway? because right now there are still civilians being caught up in this war, and especially iranians who don't live under an authoritarian government, who don't offer them air raid sirens or shelters in this terrible time for them.
8:14 am
>> is the issue of developing nuclear power exclusive to the current iranian leader? because that is israel's stance for initiating this conflict, because iran was developing these nuclear weapons. but but if even if and then we had the president say yesterday that we know where ayatollah khamenei is, but we don't want him dead for now, i think is what the president said, something to that effect. but even if iran was to, you know, put a new leader in place, would that change the direction of its nuclear program? >> well, first i should start by saying iran does not have nuclear weapons. this is a known fact. our us intelligence assessment says so that they have decided not to develop weapons just yet. so this is a preemptive action by israel. nevertheless, i should note that we had something called the joint comprehensive plan of action, or the iran nuclear deal that was signed between the us,
8:15 am
iran and other world powers in 2015. president donald trump withdrew from that deal in may of 2018 because he thought he could get a better deal. and now that he's back in office, he has brought us to this point where he didn't even allow diplomacy to succeed itself and gave the green light for this war to begin. and there's no end in sight so far. >> so we've we've all heard about the deal that the president withdrew from in his first presidency, and now he wants a new deal. do we know what changes he wants in a new deal with iran? >> well, as i've noted earlier, he's said that he wants iran not to enrich on iranian soil. so zero enrichment. and this is actually a point of contention. and that's what they were negotiating over the past few weeks. and iranians have said that it's their inherent right to nuclear energy. they've spent billions of dollars on their nuclear program. and before this war began, their nuclear scientists have been assassinated. so they feel that
8:16 am
giving up that option, the option to weaponize, would put them in a situation like iraq and libya. >> so they want to be able to eventually be able to have nuclear weapons is i'm trying to understand how that goes from the development, enrichment, enrichment of nuclear power for energy to nuclear weapons, perhaps. >> i think that's a really good question. i think that's been what this is. part of the worry is that they have not decided to enrich all, to go all the way in their nuclear program just yet. and they've said they'd like the option. and this is the whole point of contention with the us and iran over its nuclear program. they want to be at least able to have the option to enrich and not have. and for them, this is where the conversation in these negotiations have been very contentious over. and it is very confusing to that layman person. but when you get down to the details, it kind of explains
8:17 am
itself a little bit more. >> yeah, it is something that we are watching here because iran, both sides are digging in here, iran, israel and the us. we're still not sure what's going to happen yet. holly dagres, senior fellow at the washington institute, thank you for joining us this morning and providing your insight to us. >> 816. an oakland man returned from egypt last night saying his plans to march to gaza with other advocates were met with violence. a group called global march to gaza brought more than 4000 volunteers from 80 countries together. the group was hoping to pressure governments to allow food and medical supplies into gaza. adel javani says the march was interrupted by egyptian forces on the way to rafah. >> the organizers said for safety reasons, at this point, it's become very clear that the egyptian authorities do not want us here and that they are detaining us and disappearing some people. so it's better to leave the country as soon as possible. which is why i changed my flight and i'm here today. >> he says he was among 250 americans forced to return home early. javani says he is
8:18 am
grateful for the opportunity to make his voice heard. >> time now is 817, and we're keeping an eye on traffic at this hour, starting with the south bay and silicon valley commute. actually, let's skip ahead. and we are. let's move up to the north bay southbound 101, in marinwood at. there is a crash there that's in the clearing stages. and we also have some slow traffic at the richmond, san rafael bridge toll plaza and all the way from el sobrante through berkeley. 880 in oakland past. the coliseum is in good shape. traffic moving without any problems here. san mateo bridge traffic also moving. okay. i want to try and get to. if i can bring it up in my computer. a picture of the bay bridge toll plaza. so you can see there that compared to the san mateo bridge, this bridge, the plaza, toll plaza traffic here is pretty stuck. so you're looking at about a 15 to 20 minute delay to get onto the span there. 818. here's roberta gonzalez with a check of the
8:19 am
weather. >> and what you were sharing with me there, ali, was that even though we have some low overcast, make sure you grab your sunglasses out the door. a little bit of a glare for the morning commute. we have that sea of low clouds streaming in underneath the golden gate bridge into the bay. also a little bit of clouds down to 600ft looking out from sutro tower. otherwise 52 san francisco across the bay. it's in the mid 50s from oakland through alameda. good morning novato. you've jumped to 61 degrees. it's 63 now in concord. high 50s, cupertino, campbell, san jose, willow glen and backing through the rose garden district peninsula. sitting in the 50s, pretty much 56 to 59 degrees winds have picked up at sfo, otherwise pretty flat this morning. fairfield has been breezy, otherwise winds westerly 10 to 20 during the day. today. you want to talk microclimates? check out the beaches today. partly cloudy 60 moss beach low 60s. also half moon bay to pacifica and santa cruz at 76 degrees while inland in the low

priority. the pope says his namesake, leo the 13th, stood up for factory workers during a time when industrial leaders caused rapid change. pope is expected to make ai's potential threat to humanity a signature, part of his leadership of the catholic church. many tech leaders have spent years working to become allies with the vatican. leaders of microsoft and google are working to set up potential meetings with the pope. tensions in the middle east, interest rates and the battle for ai. here in the bay area, all on the forefront of business news this morning. >> pam cook joins us with details on today's dollars. good morning pam. >> good morning. a lot to keep track of this morning. the battle over ai and ai employees heating up in the bay area. tech crunch reports meta has been trying to lure people from openai and google deepmind for its new superintelligence team, reportedly offering huge salaries and signing bonuses in the millions of dollars. as the opening bell rang this morning, investors are watching for new developments in the war between israel and iran and the u.s. response, certainly creating a
8:25 am
volatile situation and uncertainty about the global markets and the global economy. as we take a live look at the numbers, there are some optimism that there will be some negotiations that started sending stocks up. dow jones now up close to a half of a percent at this hour, the s&p 500, about the same percentage wise, the nasdaq gaining about a half a percent as well, up about 100 points. the other thing wall street is watching the federal reserve. it meets later today and announces interest rates amid new tariffs. and the escalating crisis in the middle east will certainly be on the minds of the policymakers. there's concern that the war between iran and israel could cause a global spike in oil prices. economists expect the fed will keep interest rates steady for now, but what wall street will be watching for and waiting for is what fed chief jerome powell has to say about where the economy is headed in light of a soft labor market and, of course, the conflict in the middle east. president trump giving tiktok's parent company another 90 days to reach a sale
8:26 am
agreement here in the u.s. this is the third time the president has extended the deadline for the china based company. the goal is for the chinese company to sell the u.s. version of tiktok to a u.s. based company. americans will still be able to use the social media site during the extension. netflix plans to air traditional television channels inside its app in france starting next summer. viewers can watch live broadcasts without leaving netflix. it comes after netflix came to a distribution deal with a french media company. viewers will be able to watch live sporting events, french news and shows like the voice. it's unclear if it will cost more for subscribers, and no word if or when that feature is coming to the u.s. i'm pam cook. let's look at your dollars and cents. >> pam. thank you. it's 826 here we are waiting for a ruling from an appeals court in san francisco over president trump's deployment of the national guard to southern california. what happened in that widely watched hearing yesterday, and what the
8:29 am
fleets of cars, you know, with armed military. we're not used to that. >> a southern california man arrested by federal agents after interfering with immigration enforcement. why? his mother says she has serious questions about what happened. then a live look here as ucsf nurses and technical staff in the east bay are walking off the job. the
8:30 am
changes that they say will cost them thousands, and how the hospital system is throwing cold water on that claim. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> i'm andre senior. today is wednesday, june 18th. thank you. say something. >> yeah that's squeak. i don't know. >> if our viewers are hearing. we have to mention it. >> i joke, it's my hip. no, it's not. >> my hip. >> we have a couple. >> new pieces. >> of machinery. yeah, it's your back. it's my hip. a couple of pieces of machinery. so if you hear occasional squeaks and things like that, that's what it is. >> everything's still working it out. >> yes. we're okay. cameras are good. but just in case you're. >> wondering, i'm not sure if they could hear. that's why i didn't mention it before over the last few days. but yes, they had installed it, and they're still working on it. it looks like we're in this robot craziness here. robot warehouse. but they're working on it and getting it fixed. we want to send things over to roberta gonzalez. she's working on getting that forecast together for us today. >> i don't know about getting it fixed. all we need is a big can
8:31 am
of wd 40. >> yeah, that's what i said. that's what i remember. i tell you the same thing. and she laughed out loud. but yes, we do need that. >> we have the skies already clearing around the estuary where we were pretty socked in this morning. hi, everybody. let me get out of the way. it's our live weather camera. camera right now suggests that those clouds are lifting. it is now 57 degrees in oakland, all the way into alameda, upper 50s, now palo alto, into woodside. in atherton, we are at 63 degrees at peace and concord and fairfield, low 60s in walnut creek and also 63 now in novato. the winds are breezy in fairfield. otherwise sfo with a 13 mile an hour wind. the winds will pick up later today. westerly 10 to 20. okay, i'm going to scoot out of the way again. 63 in pacifica. partly cloudy skies today. full sunshine. bayside in the 70s and low 80s. up to 96 degrees. that's my hottest temperature in our inland area. we'll have the juneteenth forecast. that's just in a matter of minutes. but right now, allie rasmus, where is the big problem spot this
8:32 am
time around? >> it has picked up, you know, and i think my microphone battery might. >> oh that happens to sell all the time. >> you know it's a tough one out there. you know we're showing you the map here in the east bay where you see slow spots all over. and we've been mentioning that crash in marinwood that's finally in the clearing stages on southbound 101. we also have reports of crashes on southbound 880 that's just coming in. i don't even have time to see if i can zoom the camera down here. so you can see southbound 880 at dixon landing road. that's in the fremont area. so be aware of all of that. richmond san rafael bridge toll plaza has been slow all morning long. this section of 880 in oakland, just starting to get slow in the northbound lanes past the coliseum as you approach the macarthur maze. and that's because the bay bridge toll plaza is pretty backed up. 832 let's go back to the desk, ali. >> thank you. an open ended strike is underway in oakland. >> yeah. health care workers and support staff are off the job
8:33 am
from ucsf benioff children's hospital. striking against a plan to change employers. ktvu james torres is live outside the hospital in oakland to explain much more. good morning james. [music] >> well, this is what the demonstration looks like here. you're seeing dozens of nurses, hospital staff, support staff all out on the sidewalk here, many of them marching up and down the sidewalk, crossing the street from the hospital building itself, over across the street in front of the parking garage. here's what the confrontation is stemming from as it stands, nurses and technical workers at ucsf benioff children's hospital are children's hospital employees. but a new proposed integration plan would transition them to become uc employees. and those workers say they don't want that. unions representing them argued that transition forces them to change their benefits, their pensions, and change their unions. they don't want to do that because some say they would lose, on average, $10,000 a year
8:34 am
in take home pay. and that transition is set to happen in early july. ucsf acquired the hospital in 2014, but workers contract still had them employed under children's hospital oakland. and workers out here that i spoke to so far say after years of work, it needs to stay that way. >> we've stayed at the table time and time again, and they promised that this us, that this would never happen. but yet and still we're here. they refuse to pick an arbitrator. we wouldn't we couldn't even go to arbitration because they are flat out refusing because they feel what they're doing is correct. >> now, as a result of this strike, ucsf says a few of its outpatient offices will be closed or see limited appointments. that includes their offices in walnut creek, brentwood, san ramon and emeryville. the hospital system says if your appointment is affected or needs to be rescheduled, you will be notified directly. the main hospital in oakland, however, will stay open to see patients.
8:35 am
some of those appointments may have to move to a telehealth instead. ucsf argues the transition puts employees under the same unions representing all ucsf workers throughout the state. leaders also say take home pay will be different, but that's because it will contribute to more valuable pensions and benefits. this is an open ended strike, so these nurses, technical staff say they all will be off the job until they get what they want or until they come up with a good enough compromise. we are live this morning in oakland. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james, thank you. in the face of enhanced immigration enforcement, one southern california mother says border patrol agents arrested her son after a confrontation with officers started when two border patrol trucks pulled up to a walmart and lowe's parking lot in pico rivera. witnesses say a man identified as adrian andrew martinez, a u.s. citizen, drove toward agents, started yelling at them as they tried to round up workers. >> and the video shows that, you
8:36 am
know, he was trying to help. he was telling them, you know, leave him alone. he's just working. i guess they didn't like that. >> in the video, martinez is seen rolling a trash bin in front of a border patrol truck. after a brief exchange, agents arrested him. martinez's mother says she still doesn't know where he is. >> hey, why are you guys touching people out here? no, he touched me. what the. what is he doing? he's a hard worker. >> now they're saying that he attacked them, so they want to press charges. >> one witness says he saw the border patrol trucks making rounds in the parking lot. and went to document what was happening. >> after he got thrown on the ground twice and continuously shoved. i mean, anybody's going to try to avoid, you know, getting harassed the way he did. so they kept going after him and telling us, get away, trying to get us to stop recording us.
8:37 am
they you can see in the videos they're pushing them towards the car, the truck, and they got them in the back of the truck. one of the guys is pushing them by his neck into the truck. >> immigrants, rights advocates and law enforcement experts say those who confront federal officers risk serious consequences. >> when you interfere with law enforcement in california, you probably get arrested for a misdemeanor and maybe, maybe not face criminal charges. but with the federal agents, you're looking at some serious federal time anywhere between one year in federal prison up to eight years. >> it is really scary to just see fleets of cars, you know, with armed, military looking people just coming at us like we're we don't know what to think or, you know, how to how to react to something like that. we're not used to that. >> the department of homeland security has yet to respond to requests for information on what happened. >> immigration enforcement in
8:38 am
one of the most contentious. there is one of the most contentious issues in us politics. president obama was often dubbed the deporter in chief by immigrant rights activists overseeing more than more deportations than any other u.s. president, especially in his first term. but his administration also created daca and shifted priorities in his second term toward targeting people with serious criminal records. then came president trump, whose rhetoric and policies aggressively targeted undocumented immigrants. his administration widened the scope for deportation, eliminated many protections, and leaned heavily on family separation and high profile ice raids. so how do the deportation numbers compare to years past? to analyze the data and the human impact behind those policies, welcome stanford law professor lucas guttentag, who also served in senior policy positions in the obama administration at the department of homeland security. good morning to you. thank you for joining us this morning. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> so first of all, i do want to ask you here, the obama
8:39 am
administration, they were able to deport many people during that administration. how was president obama able to do that during his time in office? >> well, the deportations policy of the obama administration, as you mentioned, was changed significantly in this latter part of his second term. but even during the high numbers, the focus was overwhelmingly on people arriving at the border. and secondly, at with on people with serious criminal convictions or with old deportation orders that had not been enforced. so it was targeted and narrow, even when the numbers were high, was changed very dramatically. now under the trump administration is how widespread it is, what the underlying purpose of the enforcement is here, which is includes terrorizing communities. and thirdly, the tactics that are being used, the you're displaying here on the video. >> lucas, you mentioned that the obama administration had targeted people arriving at the border for deportation. one of the issues now is deportations.
8:40 am
the number of people arriving at the border that is significantly dropped. is that hampering efforts to increase the numbers by the trump administration? >> well, i can't say whether it's hampering, but i think you're absolutely right that the numbers have dropped dramatically and they actually drop very dramatically at the end of the biden administration by july of 2024, the numbers at the border had gone down to very low numbers that were easily manageable. now, with the trump administration has done, is virtually closed the border completely to asylum applicants and others who are fearing persecution and who want the process that they're entitled to under the law. so the focus has been on a closing the border and then be engaging in these kind of mass arrests and in the interior of the country and using tactics that escalate the situation rather than engaging in meaningful law enforcement. >> is there any chance that the trump administration could replicate the obama strategy,
8:41 am
though, since they keep talking about increasing the number of deportations, which they have struggled to keep pace with when compared to the obama administration. >> yeah, i mean, the goal of the obama administration to replicate the obama administration would also mean, as you reported a few moments ago, creating programs like daca, the deferred action for childhood arrivals and other program that the obama administration tried to create for parents of us citizens, which is to say, to give some kind of stability and legal status to people who have been here for a long time, who are contributing to the economy, who have not committed any criminal acts or any transgressions, and to stabilize the situation which is in the national interest, helps our economy and is necessary for to have a meaningful immigration policy. so that's all the opposite of what the trump administration is doing, of course. >> so what i'm hearing you say is, is a lot of what the president, current president is
8:42 am
doing, you know, is done for the drama as opposed to, you know, enacting rules that could actually reduce the number of people here illegally, which is creating programs similar to daca or creating pathways to citizenship for people who are working here already. >> well, i think he's doing both. it's both public spectacle and private terror, which is to say that there are all these kinds of incidents, as you've reported, and that we've seen in los angeles and other places around the country, moving people to guantanamo, deporting them to third countries that they have no connection to, like libya and sudan. all of that is designed to create terror in the community. at the same time, the trump administration is also engaging in active, aggressive efforts to deprive people of legal status to terminate programs that gave them stability. arresting peoplwh aps and other appointments. so it's not actually using the law properly to enforce the immigration statutes, but instead creating this fear. and
8:43 am
then, as many courts have found, engaging in practices and policies that violate the law. >> stanford professor law professor lucas guttentag, thank you so much for joining us this morning and providing your insight. this issue, of course, far from over. >> thank you very much for having me. >> sure. >> if you're heading on out to the alameda county fair today, it opens up at high noon. it ends at 11 p.m. and what a terrific day. the weather has never been better for the fair tonight. sawyer is heading to the concert series at 8:00, and by then, 72 degrees. but the daytime high 9192. make sure you hydrate if you're heading on out to the alameda county fair. live weather camera looking out towards the estuary. the clouds are now breaking up there, but roughly down to 600ft in half moon bay, 54 there otherwise 5060s north of the golden gate bridge, 57 degrees east of the bay bridge. it is now 63 degrees in concord. the winds have been
8:44 am
slight this morning, except in the fairfield area. these winds, however, will be more of an onshore push later today. 10 to 20mph as the marine layer hugs the san mateo coastline, we will see partly cloudy conditions at the beaches. not the full sunshine we experienced yesterday, but nonetheless under the influence of high pressure. today, the hottest day of the work week. we're talking low and mid 90s inland. then this low descends on northern california. this means that we will have cooler temperatures for juneteenth into your friday. all right, here we go. the first name hurricane of the eastern pacific season. it is eric. it's going to make landfall tomorrow with winds right now 85mph. this could be a real storm maker. 63 locally today to 96 degrees in our inland areas. 70 to 80 central bay. the five day forecast that's still coming up andre. >> thank you so much roberta. global tariffs are having an impact on the summer travel season. how the trade war may affect
8:47 am
8:48 am
findings are raising questions about whether the plane's engine and emergency power systems malfunctioned shortly after takeoff. >> another change, of course, by the department of homeland security now reportedly telling immigration and customs agents to keep making arrests at farms, hotels and restaurants. the trump administration told agencies not to raid those businesses as recently as last week. ice has been under pressure from the white house to make a minimum of 3000 arrests a day. at 848, president trump's promises to ramp up immigration enforcement could have a big impact on california's economy. california's 1.3 million undocumented workers represent 8% of the state's workforce, and the new report finds deporting all of them would lead to a loss of about $275 billion. the agricultural and construction industry stands to lose the most money. a federal appeals court in san francisco has still not issued a ruling over the deployment of the state's national guard to los angeles following immigration protests. the three judge panel of the
8:49 am
ninth circuit court of appeals heard arguments yesterday scrutinizing a lower judge's ruling blocking the president's deployment of more than 4000 troops without the governor's consent. the president's lawyers argued he can federalize the state's national guard in a rebellion, danger of rebellion, or if the president is unable to execute federal laws. the california department of justice argued the president's actions were illegal. >> violent riots in los angeles constitute a rebellion against the authority of the united states. those guardsmen are necessary on the ground today to prevent breaches of the federal buildings to protect ice officers. >> for the first time in our nation's history, defendants federalize thousands of members of the state national guard in circumstances where none of those factual predicates exist. and they circumvented the governor. >> now, the panel seemed inclined to let president trump maintain control of the guard members. however, we have to wait for the ruling, and that could come at any time. >> california senator alex padilla spoke on the floor of
8:50 am
the u.s. senate about an incident last week in which he was forcibly from a news conference by the homeland security secretary. >> i was handcuffed and marched down a hallway, repeatedly asking, why am i being detained? not once did they tell me why. >> senator padilla says he was in the federal building in los angeles last week and went to the news conference upon learning the homeland security secretary was just a few doors down. he said he had tried to talk with the head of dhs in recent days, but about the president's deployment of the national guard troops to los angeles and enhanced immigration enforcement, but had received no response. senator padilla and other democrats called the takedown an abuse of power. >> if what you saw happen. can happen when the cameras are on, imagine not only what can happen, but what is happening in so many places where there are
8:51 am
no cameras. colleagues, this isn't about me. in fact, it's not just about immigrant communities or even just the state of california. it's about every single american who values their constitutional rights. >> in a statement after the incident, the department of homeland security said senator padilla never identified himself, though we do hear him giving his name and title as he walks toward the front of the room. he also said members of the secret service thought he was an attacker. >> 850 is your time today. senators on capitol hill are holding a hearing over allegations of a cover up. a former president joe biden's cognitive decline. the hearing comes after claims that biden's team worked to hide his decline during his term in office. the first hearing won't include testimony from any members of the former president's administration. instead, members of president donald trump's first administration and a legal scholar will testify next week. house republicans plan to hold similar hearings, with biden's former aides in attendance. >> tariff uncertainty is having
8:52 am
a big impact on summer travel plans and entertainment. some families looking to trim their budgets may turn to local amusement parks instead of going on a trip, but they may face rising ticket prices there, as well as higher prices for food and merchandise, all of which could impact park attendance. >> any parts that we try to order that might come from italy or germany or anywhere overseas, china from our stuffed animals that we use in our games and our cranes and arcade. so typically this warehouse would be half full, but because of the unknown with the tariffs this year, we had to go ahead and pre-purchase pretty much for the entire summer to try to beat the tariffs before they went into effect. >> financial experts say the cost of tariffs is generally paid by the company importing the product. then it will often be passed on to customers. >> time now is 852. there is a lot going on on our bay area roadways. just before 9:00, the morning commute far from over, including a four car crash westbound 80 just east of maritime that's blocking a couple lanes just as you
8:53 am
approach the toll plaza in danville, there is a report of a crash blocking lanes on northbound 680 at el cerro boulevard. an injury crash. an ambulance is on the way to the scene. that's in addition to another crash on southbound 880 dixon landing road off ramp. this is involving a couple of vehicles, and it is blocking two of the middle lanes. here's a live look at your drive from the carquinez bridge. the macarthur maze. 32 minutes. it's getting more slow, though, because of that backup and that crash that we mentioned at the bay bridge toll plaza. and speaking of the toll plaza, here it is. it looks a little bit lighter here. better than it did just about an hour ago. maybe a 15 minute to 20 minute delay to get onto the span. golden gate bridge. we do see the fog starting to starting to clear here and make way for some sunnier skies later this morning. more on that. let's check in with roberta gonzalez. >> yeah. thank you, ali, for sharing that picture. the golden gate bridge, because the towers stand 746ft tall, and when you
8:54 am
can't see the tip top of it, it gives me a good idea just how low, how low, and where did i go? how low the ceiling does fall. all right. let's take a look at this particular view. this is looking out towards the avenues. and i want to thank bridget mickelson in our tech our technical operations center for this beautiful view. you see that the clouds are already retreating out towards the open waters. we will reveal ample sunshine in the city of san francisco, where currently it's 54 degrees. it's also in the 50s in half moon bay, ten degrees warmer than that in walnut creek, back into alamo, into diablo, high 50s tri valley, all the way into fremont and in san jose. and that's where we will be experiencing moderate air quality today, all the way through the east bay. not because of the ranch fire yesterday, but because of emissions, ozone, and just a little bit of a haze. barely noticeable 13 mile per hour winds at sfo. once we see the westerly's 10 to 20 later today, that will kick out any kind of pollutants. marine layers tight
8:55 am
to the coast. high pressure is building in as it does so. one day it's not even a heat wave. it's just one day of temperatures in the mid 90s. then this low sweeps in and our temperatures drop. but meanwhile today, santa rosa, 9392, livermore 89 sunnyvale boy gorgeous burlingame in belmont and in the city 70 across the bay, 77 in oakland and in alameda. notice the peninsula 70s and 80s, low 80s, redwood shores and then in gilroy today, near 90 degrees cooler for juneteenth for the holiday. and i hope you certainly have the day off so you can enjoy gang. >> thank you. mister fab. >> is one of the most famous and admired people to ever come out of oakland. he'll join us in studio on the nine to talk about an issue dear to his heart, and the major hollywood director and oakland native ill joi

the lawsuit challenging the department of homeland security's freeze of counterterrorism grant funding. city attorney david chu says san francisco received more than a receives more than $1 million a year from the securing the city's program to detect and prevent terrorist attacks. he says the trump administration has withdrawn the funds without explanation. the program was actually set up during the first trump administration. san francisco joined chicago, boston, denver and seattle in this lawsuit. >> evacuation orders in the south bay have now been lifted following a wildfire that threatened homes. the ranch fire burned several dozen acres yesterday afternoon above a neighborhood in east san jose. cal fire says it started yesterday afternoon, just after 4 p.m. near old piedmont road. the flames burned in a dry grassy area behind homes. the fire at one point came close to houses, forcing evacuations. >> mandatory evacuations are still in effect for the bonanza fire in el dorado county. it
