6:02 pm
budget to keep operating. >> we're asking that the mayor would see us as a partner, as an ally, as a viable resource to exactly what his plan is. >> supervisor chan said. she and her fellow committee members hope to forward a budget to the full board of supervisors that folds in project homeless connect into the mayor's vision of street teams to address homelessness. >> could there be a way that he can actually take on project homeless connect and immerse them into as part of the team, and realizing that this could be a bit more even dynamic than it already is. >> and the budget committee is working tonight to set a finalized budget proposal for the full board to vote on in two weeks. that will then be forwarded to the mayor, who needs to sign off on it before the end of july. we're live in san francisco. christian captain ktvu, fox two news. >> christian, thank you for that. new at six the 2024 hate crime in california report was released today by attorney general rob bonta. and the
6:03 pm
numbers they have increased. the numbers do show a 2.7% increase in reported hate crimes, going from 1970 in 20 23 to 2023. last year. hate crimes against black people were the most prevalent, despite a 4.6% decrease from 2023, and there were 310 anti-jewish bias events. that is up more than 7% from 2023. and finally, here, hate crimes motivated by sexual orientation bias increased by more than 12%. the recent ice arrests of undocumented migrants at santa clara county jails has raised concerns there could be cooperation between local law enforcement right now and ice agents. ktvu is jesse gary is live at the sheriff's headquarters in the south bay with the story. jesse, good evening to you, mike. >> good evening. the sheriff's department issued a statement just yesterday saying it does not cooperate or coordinate with ice as far as immigration enforcement. and then today, the
6:04 pm
sheriff himself, bob johnson, driving that point home, adding he too has been very surprised by what's happened the past couple of weeks. >> one of the things that we did not expect from ice was that they would just start showing up at our facilities, waiting. >> the most recent incident took place last week at the elmwood correctional facility in milpitas. ice agents arrested a man who was being released from the county's custody, only to be scooped up by federal lawmen in the lobby. >> after further speaking to the wife, she mentioned that i showed up about 15 minutes before the person's release time, which to us that was a little odd, that they happen to show up 15 minutes before the release time. >> ice agents were able to know where and when the detainee would be released, because that information is available to anyone in the public and available to immigration agents. santa clara county sheriff bob johnson maintains his deputies do not cooperate in immigration enforcement actions. >> we are not collaborating with
6:05 pm
them. we are not notifying them of these releases. they're deciding when they want to show up at our facilities. >> immigration enforcement is a hot button topic nationally. since the trump administration escalated deportations through an expedited removal executive order. thus far, over 56,000 people have been detained, with the vast majority having no criminal record that, according to the transactional records access clearinghouse at syracuse university, local immigrant advocates claim giving ice agents details of a release are akin to helping agents apply handcuffs. >> there is information being shared with ice that they do not know, and we would like that to be changed. >> i have no idea, to be honest with you, exactly how they're getting it. what i do have a clear idea of is they're not getting it from us. >> experts say while local sanctuary laws may limit what federal agents can do, public information cannot be restricted even to ice agents. >> publicly available information that anybody can
6:06 pm
call up and ask when is, you know, john doe getting released from jail. and that includes ice being able to call up and ask that information. >> we are not calling. we are not coordinating. we are not collaborating in any way with ice. >> the net result could be, according to advocates, that fewer people might want to get released from jail or actually show up for their court appearances and hearings, fearing they could wind up in federal custody. we're live in san jose this evening. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. michael, back up the freeway to you and to oakland. >> all right, jesse, thank you for that. now to the ongoing conflict in the middle east. president trump says the u.s. will meet with iran next week. and right now, the president continues to criticize those who are questioning the effectiveness of the u.s. strikes on iran's nuclear sites. fox's rebecca castor has the story tonight from washington. >> president trump is headed home from the nato summit in the netherlands, but not before making it clear that saturday's
6:07 pm
strikes on iran's nuclear sites were successful. >> the site is obliterated and we think everything nuclear is down there. they didn't take it out. >> trump officials are pushing back on a leaked u.s. intelligence report suggesting the strikes did not destroy iran's ability to create a nuclear weapon, fox has learned. that report is a preliminary low confidence assessment based on just one day's worth of intelligence. >> those that dropped the bombs precisely in the right place know exactly what happened when that exploded. and you know who else knows iran. that's why they came to the table right away. >> a lot of their above ground facilities that are critical, part of a centrifuge program have been have been destroyed. and so a lot of what really is left is sort of the what i call the residuals or the remnants of the program. >> a nuclear deal with iran could also still be on the table. trump says the u.s. will be meeting with iranian officials next week, although he's no longer insisting on an
6:08 pm
agreement. >> to me, i don't think it's that necessary. i mean, they had a war, they fought. now they're going back to their world. i don't care if i have an agreement or not. >> both the pentagon and fbi are working to find the source of the leaked classified intelligence report in washington. rebecca castor, fox news. >> south bay congressman ro khanna is calling on congress to pass a war powers resolution, which aims to prevent president trump from escalating tensions with iran. congressman khanna, along with other democrats, gathered right outside the capitol to show support for the bipartisan resolution. khanna introduced it last week. it would prohibit u.s. armed forces from unauthorized hostilities in iran unless congress authorizes any involvement. >> it's cost our country billions of dollars. it's put our troops at risk. it has put us more, made us more entrenched in the middle east. and all of that doing something that the american people did not want.
6:09 pm
>> when asked if a floor vote on the resolution will be allowed, house speaker johnson criticized the timing of it, saying it was not appropriate and that he does not think it is necessary. and stay with us as we monitor the ongoing developments and tensions there in the middle east. you can monitor any updates by downloading the fox local lab. new at six san jose police say a man is in custody accused of a double stabbing that killed one person. officers say boo tran stabbed two men yesterday at a home on alvarez drive, right near waycross road. one victim was pronounced dead at the scene. police say the suspect was still inside the house when they rolled up on scene, and that is where he was taken into custody. investigators say it appears trinh and the victims did know each other, and that they were arguing about something before the stabbing. the 44 year old suspect is now booked into the county jail. the fbi tonight hoping to generate new leads in the shooting of a 20 year-old man in san francisco nearly ten years ago. calvin riley was killed while playing pokemon go

appears to be paying off. a new survey shows a drop in the number of people living out there on the streets. ktvu ali rasmus has the story. >> sonoma county officials say overall, there's been about a 23% drop in the number of unhoused people living on county streets compared to a year ago, and they define unhoused as anyone living in a tent, an encampment, a car or an rv. it comes months after the county took steps to clear out a large homeless encampment here. the joe rodota trail that's in santa rosa that goes from santa rosa to sebastopol. in fact, around 8:00 this morning, we saw sonoma county sheriff's officer come to this site and tell some of the unhoused people who were just standing around and lingering here on the trail. they hadn't even set up tents yet that they had to move on and couldn't stay here. all of this comes as sonoma county released the results of a survey it did in january of this year. officials and volunteers fanned out across the county to do their yearly
6:42 pm
count of the number of homeless people on the streets. it found that there are about 570 fewer unhoused residents compared to the same period the year before. it's also the lowest number of homeless overall since the county started doing this survey back in 2007. now, county officials say they believe part of the reason for the decline is because of new housing available. >> a big reason is we added about 400 permanent beds last year, and that is what's called permanent supportive housing, or rapid rehousing or permanent housing in general. so adding those beds through, you know, state federal funding sources was a big help. >> but some of the people who live on sonoma county's streets, whom we talked to, say they're skeptical of the county's real progress. >> they chase everybody away. >> we hide our encampments because of the fear of the sheriff's department destroying our stuff and arresting us. most people are hidden. i mean, a lot of us are hiding because of them. so there's no way they could have counted all of us. there's too many of us to be able to count. >> i do sympathize, i imagine,
