7:33 pm
just feels overwhelming and you feel like you can't do anything about it. and then i look at something like this and i think, like, i can do something about that. >> we cleared all of this. >> they say about 85% of their cleanups stay clean thanks to their homeless ambassador program, which incentivizes unhoused people by paying them $100 a week to report dumping. and one recent instance, ucp was able to send the city a video catching people in the act. >> they ran the plate, they identified who the individual was, and now we're working with them to have that person held accountable. >> oakland public works has issued more than 2300 citations since it began ramping up enforcement. and while ucp says the city pitches in sometimes to help, they need more collaboration. >> there's just areas that there's no enforcement, and then the dumping keeps continuing. >> the community. >> thank you for helping our community out. i live right down the street. yes, sir. and i appreciate it. >> thankful for ucp's work. >> we're all grateful for them to be out here in the middle of the day. >> now, you can report illegal

a legal victory for bay area tech giant meta. a federal judge in san francisco today dismissing a copyright lawsuit against meta platforms. a group of authors sued the company, claiming it stole their work to train its artificial intelligence technology. the judge said the authors made the wrong arguments before tossing the case. he also said the ruling is limited to the authors in this specific case, and that does not mean that meta's use of copyrighted materials is legal. well, the recent ice arrests of undocumented migrants at santa clara county jails have raised concerns that there could be cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration officials. our jesse gary spoke to county officials
7:44 pm
who say any information the feds are getting is not coming from them. >> 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 them. we are not notifying them of these releases. they're deciding when they want to show
7:45 pm
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 call up and ask when is, you know, john doe getting released
7:46 pm
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 from all of this, according to some advocates, could be fewer people wanting to be released from jail or showing up for court hearings, fearing they could land in federal custody. in san jose, jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, yes, folks, i know that it is toward the end of june and i'm wearing a turtleneck, but that's because it was so cold in the city today. i grabbed the turtleneck. >> why not? yeah, turtlenecks all year round. >> that's right. but it really shows the difference, right, between the city and the inland area. >> inland spots. i will say, though, san francisco, you're used to the fog there. but you shared the fog actually to the inland spots as well, because everybody had a good dose of overcast this morning. so yeah, but everybody will be heating up. you might want to maybe put away the turtle. >> the turtleneck. >> yeah by the weekend. heather. so yeah. get ready for some

7:52 pm
unauthorized hostilities in iran unless congress approves any involvement. >> it costs 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. >> now, when asked if a floor vote on that resolution will be allowed, house speaker mike johnson criticized the timing of it, saying it was not appropriate and that he doesn't think it is necessary. san francisco created a program asking for community input in hopes of making streets safer. why? that program look mom, i found one. oh, yeah you did. but we need an atm from our bank unless you want to spend a small fortune in fees. ha. no thank you. banking with bmo means more fee-free atms than the two largest u.s banks combined. including places like pharmacies and grocery stores. saving money and more convenient. uh, look at you being so helpful. what did you expect? you're standing at a help stop.
